Carrier Command 2 is a spiritual successor to the 1988 game Carrier Command, reviving the premise of commanding a near-future aircraft carrier to destroy enemies. Players issue orders from terminals in the command room, or manually control amphibious vehicles and aircraft. Capturing islands strengthens forces, with the goal of sinking the enemy carrier.
Online co-op lets multiple players split roles such as steering, vehicle control, and supply management in parallel, or pilot individual vehicles. The game supports up to 16 players. On Steam, it is discounted to 1,700 yen until September 8, and it supports Japanese.
