About game

Staring at a blank screen while your coffee gets cold is a sign you need a distraction. Battleship: Ancient Rome transforms your browser into a Mediterranean battlefield where you command a fleet against pirates. You place your ships across a grid to hide them from enemy eyes before launching a calculated assault. Every turn requires you to guess the location of hidden targets while protecting your own naval assets.

You gain tactical skills like scouting or Greek fire as you advance through twenty missions. Managing your fleet status becomes essential because your survival depends on precise targeting and resource timing. Difficulty settings allow you to adjust the challenge to match your current brainpower. Play this strategy classic right now in your browser without any annoying downloads.
