BATTLESHIP The Video Game

Lock, load and prepare for grand oceanic action this spring. Inspired by the classic naval strategy game BATTLESHIP, this new game of seek-and-find adventure developed by Double Helix Games is going to take a spectacular new heights.

 

BATTLESHIP The Video Game unfolds across the seas and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. As Cole Mathis, the U.S. naval fleet’s “Boots on the Ground,” you must prove yourself worthy as an elite soldier and help defeat the enemy. Find your inner solider and stop the alien threat before it’s too late!

Combining naval strategy simulation with first-person shooter gameplay, players fend off the enemy beachside while ordering attacks against their marine counterparts. Seamlessly switching between battlefield and overview "Battle Command" map, the Hasbro game is brought to life as carriers, frigates, cruisers, destroyers, submarines and the legendary USS Missouri Battleship pummel the enemy in a race to strategic points that turn the tide of battle.  The BATTLESHIP videogame is a next-gen marvel perfectly suited to turn nostalgic game junkies into battle-hardened admirals.
 

Let me quote some of the features directly from their official website.
