    There aren't too many games that simulate this type of combat, so you pretty much have to take what you can get. Still, for forty bucks I expected a few more bells and whistles.
  2. This is a niche game and one for those who are a huge fan of this type of game.
  3. Turn based strategy fans have to be really desperate to seek out Salvo. It's not a terrible game by any stretch but it's just too slow and ponderous to shake me out of the doldrums. I know a game is in trouble when all I do is think about things that would make it better.
  4. Salvo! is fun, but I just didn’t become hooked. I can see this appealing a lot more to those interested in historical naval combat, but for me it just wasn’t enough to keep my attention for more than a handful of hours.
  5. A fair game that is almost completely undone by an interface as archaic as the warfare it presents. [Nov 2005, p.79]
