Cons
Con The game isn't, and never will be, finished
Battleships Forever was big in its time, but that time has passed and its developers have moved on with their lives, as has its community. The final two missions of the game do not exist, occasional game-breaking bugs exist, and other issues exist that will probably never be fixed. While the game is fun and has infinite potential with custom made ships, it will never be complete.
