Battleship is a 2012 multiplatform title developed by Double Helix Games for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, based on the film adaptation of the classic Hasbro board game. The game blends multiple strategic approaches, combining real-time strategy, turn-based strategy, and shooter elements into a single experience. Players engage in naval combat scenarios drawn from the film's premise, managing fleets and directing attacks against enemy forces across both tactical overhead perspectives and more direct combat situations. The mixture of RTS and TBS mechanics means players must shift between planning and execution phases, coordinating their assets to overcome opposing forces. The game occupies an unusual position in the adaptation chain, deriving its content from a theatrical film that was itself inspired by the longstanding grid-based board game, making it a third-generation interpretation of the original Battleship property.
