The time has finally come to release version 1.0, together with its long-awaited Career Mode. Our convoy has reached its destination after a long voyage, and we can at last celebrate the moment when our precious war material finds its way into the hands of the recipients. It has been a perilous journey and we have lost a few ships on the way, but we have also sent many U-boats to the bottom. All in all, our voyage across the Atlantic has been one hell of a battle!
We sincerely hope that the Career Mode will provide what a lot of you have requested from the very beginning of the project, i.e. a background to strengthen the context of the battle and immerse yourself even deeper in the role of a destroyer captain. Being a tiny company as we are, we are proud to be able to deliver this content, and although we would have preferred it to be much greater in scope and of larger than life quality, then again, we feel that our humble take on the subject has allowed us to present the wartime adventure of a destroyer captain from a realistic and historically accurate perspective.
Therefore, if you have enjoyed Destroyer thus far, the Career Mode should provide you with many hours of enjoyment and a steadily growing difficulty level - from little encounters at the beginning, to epic battles towards the end. Version 1.0 also adds the last two remaining battle variants to the mix in order to keep things fresh and engaging (‘broken formation’ and ‘endurance’).
We would like to thank you one more time for your continuous support which has allowed us to refine Destroyer into what it is today. We trust that its complete version will be on par with your expectations and that it will entice many new captains to give it a try.
