A free trial is available for the latest game published by Alawar Games, Sea Wolves.
Players explore the ocean in the aftermath of a series of man-made cataclysms that left most of the world flooded.
The 3D engine-generated screenshots caught my eye, but the game also boasts realistic physics effects:
For starters, each player vessel contains animated parts, bringing to life the age when wind-powered ships gave way to the first workable steam engines.
The waters surrounding your boat have also been designed with an eye for detail; sunlight dances on the surface of the ocean and shines through to the rocky bottom below, twilight gives the game world an amber hue, and smoke trails trace the path of each shell and missile as it arcs through the air.
Realistic physics play a part in ship navigation as well, as your boat pitches and sways according to its movement across the deep and bucks with each blast of your cannons.
