Apple Games has posted a new feature article focusing on the recently released Battlestations: Pacific. The sequel to Battlestations: Midway features 14 missions for each campaign, over 100 different types of war machines to control, improved graphics, and enhanced multiplayer modes. Apple's article includes an overview of the game and a description of the multiplayer modes available.

“Never give an order that can’t be obeyed,” General MacArthur also said. Keep that in mind as you play through both campaigns, where you’ll have access to dozens of authentic planes, ships, and submarines as you juggle controlling a particular craft and overseeing big-picture battle strategy. Set formations, order your units to behave offensively or defensively, and set patrol routes. During combat, you can switch between units, allowing you to, for example, maneuver a fleet into position before hopping into the cockpit of a plane and taking off from an aircraft carrier.

If you find yourself shot down or sunk, don’t worry: simply take control of another available unit and join the fray once more. Each mission presents a series of objectives for you to achieve, such as eliminating a certain number of enemy units or ensuring that your comrades in arms reach a specific destination. Complete all objectives to earn gold medals and unlock new units that can be used in future missions; complete the secondary and hidden objectives to earn naval supplies that confer bonuses, such as improved unit effectiveness or the ability to summon air strikes.
