Though the world is a much different place than the one we recognize today, many things are still the same. Germany, the victor of the Great European War, seeks to consolidate and expand, while England's Government in Exile resides in Japan, looking for a time when they can return to their homeland. America, untouched and undamaged by war, looks to carve a piece of the world out for themselves.
So choose your side, and get ready to experience alternate reality with a twist! Enigma: Rising Tide bills itself as 'the most realistic naval combat simulator ever created,' and in many ways it can back up its claim. As a captain in the army of your choice, you will have access to a large variety of naval vessels, both above and below surface. Gameplay is rather straightforward, as you will receive a briefing and instructions during campaign missions, or just learn how to control your ship during patrols.
Graphics for the most part are up to standards, while lagging a bit behind the FPS genre. Audio is also well done, though not exceptional. Where this game really stands out is its controls. Most strategy fiends and armchair captains will pick up keyboard and mouse commands right away, but the real treat in this title is the ability to use voice commands via microphone. The microphone commands were actually quite responsive, if spoken clearly, and all commands for every ship can be spoken rather than typed if one wished.

The event unfolds on May 7, , when the decision was made to torpedo a steamer from a German U submarine. If this had happened, more than 1, people would have died, but it did not, causing the U. However, dirt on the British government was found on board, as Winston Churchill wished the mission to be accomplished and the death of another nation to be a successful goal.
Gameplay is presented as single missions and six campaigns. Before beginning, the user will choose 1 of several sides, which will affect the storyline, characters and equipment with different characteristics, weapons and features.
In case there's anybody out there who suffers from motion sickness, don't worry. There's an option to stabilize the camera. Without it, even hearty individuals could feel a little wobbly after extended play. In a way, that's a sign that Enigma's environments and physics are ship-of-the-line. There's really nothing obviously wrong with Enigma. The ship models are good, but they're not great.
This doesn't really matter when compared to their realistic capabilities and the overall gameplay. The music is suitably dramatic, and the best thing I can say about it is that you won't notice it after a while. The sound of 4" guns thumping away is all the music you'll need to accompany your maritime madness.
If you're a diehard naval sim fan, you may be dismayed a bit by the lack of tweaking available to you, but that shouldn't be enough to put you off.
