Merge Games has announced that Battle Group 2, an action-strategy title, will be releasing on Nintendo Switch next week.
The game puts you in control of an advanced naval fleet assembled as a last resort against a deadly new enemy. You'll be commanding powerful battleships and striking at the heart of this deadly new terrorist superpower; they've been striking against innocents and taking no prisoners in battle, so it's up to you to save the day.
Players must command the war against these advanced pirates with brand new Satellite Strikes and upgrades for their state-of-the-art battleships. As the commanding gunner of this advanced armada, it's your job to stop the terrifying new foe before it's too late. This lengthy feature list should give you all the information you need:
Features:
- Eight unlock-able ships - Earn new warships like the devastating Arsenal Prototype
- Amazing detail - All player and enemy aircraft are lovingly modelled after real-world blueprints
- Satellite Strikes - Bring your arsenal to the next level with nullifying EMP blasts and change the tides of war with experimental new Hyper-Time technology
- Fully developed campaign with over 30 new levels and challenging boss battles. Bring the war back to the Talon's doorstep - or die trying
- Procedurally generated level content and enemy formations keep even the most experienced gunner alert
- Wage war in three different theatres of combat: across jungle shores, in industrial ports and even deep in arctic seas. Enable night vision modes during intense midnight battles
- Next-gen UHD graphics - See the world rendered in incredible detail, coupled with a totally new menu system with satellite interface.
- Incredible music and sound - Plunge fully into the game world with professionally acted voice-overs and an epic soundtrack
The game launches on 11th October and will be available to download directly from the Switch's eShop for €9.99 / £7.99 (US details to be confirmed).

So essentially Battleship meets R-Type. Not nearly as interested as I was when I read the article title. Hope some folks can enjoy it, though. It's at least a decent price.
I thought I saw a battleship trying to evade a stealth bomber, but then I realize that the ship in the preview picture did not have any visible gun turrets.
In any case, it certainly doesn't look like it belongs there.
It looks like a good mobile game. Page me when it's released on android.
So is it a slow moving boat 1942 or is it a moving version of Missile Command?
The commercial screams "Bad mobile game" and doesn't appear to show any actual gameplay footage. And that's pretty pathetic when the game looks so ugly.
It's a shame, because I was just thinking the other day that a battle ship sim would be pretty cool. Though I was more thinking along the lines of a space crusier and more like you upgrade and manage your ship and carry out all sorts of missions while managing your crew and the ship itself. With the freedom to choose the kinds of missions you take on and what sort of role your ship would be, pirate, armed trade ship, mercenary, etc...
This game looks like none of that, instead it looks like an ugly battleship shovelware game.
I don't know, maybe if I saw more actual footage and had more details instead of "WE NEED YOU" I might think differently. I could look past the ugly art and terrible commercial if there were actually a decent game hidden here.
Any game that feels the need to brag about its "Next Gen Graphics" over any other qualities automatically signals all the red flags.
Just imagine if the tagline for Smash Ultimate wasn't "Everyone is Here" but rather "We have next-gen graphics"
"Action-strategy"?
Looks like a plain ole' top down shooter to me. Though come to think of it it was playing like a really side-scroller like Defender only with some top down graphics. Maybe that's why my brain was confused, it really wanted the ships to be moving toward the top like 1942.
That's what this is, a slow side scrolling 1942. Think I'll stick with Fullblast.
Mobile game...
Most generic name ever
