Is Warship Gunner 2 - Kurogane no Houkou still worth playing in 2026?
A naval simulation from Koei, Warship Gunner 2 blends action at sea and the construction of customised warships, assembled part by part before being committed to tactical battles in an alternate World War II setting. The depth of the ship customisation, the sense of command and the scale of the naval clashes win over fans of military simulation. The modest production and the repetition of the missions weigh on it. A title for fans of naval battles and ship customisation on PS2.
