About Battletabs

BattleTabs is a turn-based multiplayer naval strategy game that updates the classic battleship formula with unique tactical abilities and custom fleets. Players build their own armada from a variety of distinct ship types, each possessing special skills like sonar sweeps, armor shields, or area-of-effect missile strikes, and compete to sink the enemy fleet.

Matches can be played as fast-paced real-time duels or relaxed, casual encounters where turns can be taken over hours or days. The mix of hidden placement strategy and active skill management turns every match into an engaging battle of prediction and planning.

Controls

The game is fully playable using a mouse or touchscreen interface.

  • Left Click / Tap: Select coordinates on the grid to fire, choose ships to position, or activate special abilities.
  • Drag and Drop: Place and rearrange ships on your grid during the setup phase.

Tips

  • Avoid placing your ships in predictable patterns, such as clustered closely together or lined up along the grid edges, as experienced players often scan these areas first.
  • Coordinate your special abilities with standard shots, using sonar to locate targets and saving high-damage strikes for when you are certain of an enemy ship's location.
  • Pay close attention to your ships' cooldown timers so you do not waste powerful skills early in the game when you have few target leads.
