Salvo! recently went gold and will soon begin shipping. Set during the 17th through 19th centuries the single player experience allows gamers to command a variety of ships from the world's seafaring powers of the time including England, Spain, the Netherlands, the United States, and France. Pirates are also represented, both from the Caribbean and from the Barbary coast.

There are numerous campaigns to be fought, and with Salvo!'s intuitive control system that allows players to fight in all types of battles, from small scale skirmishes to large fleet actions easily, gamers will be able to jump right into the action. Plenty of chrome is included, such as fire ships, land batteries, shallow water, and more! Land and variable wind conditions help make Salvo! a total Fighting Sail experience.
