Battleships review

Are you looking for a game to challenge your intuition and logic without the extra noise? Battleships from Rits Plasman is a strategy puzzler that brings you a hybrid form of the classic Battleship game with a touch of class. Instead of leaving you to randomly guess and get blown away, in this game you have a set of clues and information given to you, in the same flavor as perhaps a Sudoku puzzle, to help you locate the 6 hidden battleships on the board.

Battleships is laid out on a 7×7 grid with the 6 ships hidden away. Initially you are shown the locations of 1 piece of one ship and 1 piece of the water on the board. There are numbers at the end of each row and column that denote the number of battleship pieces that are present on each row or column. Using this information along with the given pieces, you have to “deduce and conquer” until you find the location of all ships.

The graphics in Battleships are super clean and polished. The simplicity of the game is seriously admirable. Gameplay involves solving 100 puzzles in 4 unlockable levels ranging from Seaman, Lieutenant, Captain and Admiral. A very detailed training session introduces you to al that is Battleships and how to go about playing.

Battleships is the kind of puzzler that is super easy to learn and tough to solve. So sit back, relax, and get ready to give your medulla oblongata a good workout.
