Today’s Niche Spotlight is Carrier Command 2, a strategy sim by Geometa and MicroProse Software.
Based on the cult hit from the ’80s, Carrier Command 2 places players in control of a futuristic aircraft carrier loaded with sophisticated weapon systems, and an arsenal of advanced combat drones. Juggle between the carrier’s various battle stations and systems as you coordinate attacks using fleets of UCAVs and amphibious assault drones.
Direct your drones from the command room, or jump into one to control it yourself. Fight to conquer a war-torn archipelago alone, or team up with friends in co-op and competitive multiplayer modes.
