Carrier Command is a strategy game that puts you in charge of a futuristic aircraft carrier. Tasked with attacking a series of islands across an archipelago, it's up to you to manage your units, choosing to either send them to attack the various installations on the base, or take charge and do it for yourself.
There's a lot of depth here, and it's not exactly the easiest of games to pick up and play - the tutorial doesn't really explain what you have to do all that well, and the controls can be confusing at times, even for us.
Perhaps the thing that makes it most unsuitable for less experienced players, though, is how the game constantly seems to work against you. Your computer controlled friends are absolutely useless at following orders, and trying to keep track of them, making sure they aren't wondering head first into a battle they can't win requires lots of switching between tabs, as there's a lot to keep track of, meaning newer faces may struggle
While most of the game is light in violence (your enemies are robots, so there's little room for human on human violence), Carrier Command still manages to fit plenty of questionable scenes in. One sees your commander being tortured, and repeatedly electrocuted, with a blood covered face, whilst the language in other scenes is rather harsh. Plenty of unnecessary f**ks and b*****ds to go round.
