The Whaler is a simulator game where you’re on an adventure to take down a huge whale in an unknown ocean.
You’re the captain of a huge ship. From what I’ve read, the detailing and realism of the ship are on-par. You set sail out to some dangerous waters to capture and hunt down a huge whale. This is really a pretty cool concept. I haven’t seen any other game quite like it before.
But you’re not alone…
Don’t take that the wrong way. You’re not alone because you have an entire crew with you on board your whaling ship. You have to give orders to each crew member to tell them what to do. They each have their own speciality- you have a wide selection of roles to fulfil. Some can repair your ship, others can craft items. You can also do a variety of other things like trade whale oil, upgrade your ship, scrub the deck, carve whale art, fish, and even buy a new ship or hire new members. The game looks awesome.
Of course, these are all just little side things you can do. The goal of the game is to hunt whales. But you also need to take care of things like morale, repairs, and supplies.
The Whaler is an online game. You’ll be able to interact, trade, talk, track, and even work with them to take down huge whales. Think about it. You can party up and tell each other when you see a whale sighting. You all sail to that location and battle down a huge whale.
The game is still in beta and is available for sign ups.
It looks very promising and is definitely one I’d like to try out.
