An action game by MarketJS

Among the various browser-based online games, Battleship has gained popularity among gaming enthusiasts for its action-combat playing arrangement. It is a widely played game across countries and has gained a huge fanbase in South Asian and western countries. The strategy-based game has been designed as per its original board game namesake.

The browser game Battleship is available in a host of configurations for easy playing access on various devices. The game also has various versions available on different online platforms that players can access easily on their desktops as well. Here are a few things to know when playing Battleship online.

A fast-paced combat game

The strategic combat game Battleship involves two players, whether it is computer-assisted or involving one of your friends as the opponent. The game commences with the object of the player finding and destroying the opponent’s concealed fleet of ships before they do so. The player needs to call out the coordinates of the opponent’s ships to target and hit them one by one.

The ship placements are either horizontal or vertical and unique on the respective player grids. These ships are of five different types, namely the battleship, cruiser, carrier, destroyer, and submarine ships. The players take turns to aim and fire the opponent’s ships to sink the fleet. Each hit or miss is recorded and points earned are calculated accordingly. The game also has a multiplayer alternative, which is more common than the one-on-one version. Below are the steps to play Battleship online:

  • Start by concealing your fleet of ships from the opponent
  • Choose who takes the first turn and spot the ship coordinates
  • Next, take turns to aim at the ship holes and fire for the concealed ships to destroy and sink
  • Earn points with each successful destruction and sink
  • The player or group that destroys the fleet first wins the game

Should I play Battleship?

The online Battleship game is an intriguing one involving strategy-making, efficient hand-eye coordination, and memorization. This browser game can thus be a great way to brush on your cognitive abilities. It can also be a great gaming option to engage and hang out with your friends and loved ones. However, steering clear of extensive involvement in playing the online game is advisable.
