Our take on Ship Simulator Extremes

The bounce point is the weather system: players who want predictable sailing can meet severe conditions, including storms, while handling vessels that range from Coast Guard interceptors to half-million-ton supertankers.

What is Ship Simulator Extremes?

Pilot vessels including hovercraft, Coast Guard interceptors, tankers, tugs and cruise liners across missions set around the world.

Locations include Antarctica, Bora Bora and famous harbors, with scenarios based on real events and stories involving ship captains. Activities include operating Greenpeace ships in ecological campaigns, confronting illegal whale hunters in the Antarctic, and evacuating a cruise liner in distress. The water and weather system presents calm seas as well as severe conditions. One scenario asks players to sail a half-million-ton supertanker through a perfect storm, while other missions use different vessels and settings. Online multiplayer allows sailing with friends.
