Carrier Command 2 Run the whole war from one deck
Carrier Command 2 puts you and co-op friends in charge of a futuristic carrier conquering an island archipelago. Split the bridge crew, launch aircraft and amphibious units, scout with radar and hop into any vehicle to fight yourself. Slow, tactical and best shared.

Crew a carrier with co-op friends
You command a carrier built to take islands one by one. Gather radar intel from your vehicles, pick where enemy presence looks thinner, then send aircraft, ground units and ships to do the work.
With co-op friends, the bridge stops being a sprint between consoles. One of you flies drones, one watches targets, one orders supplies and queues barges. You can also take direct control of every vehicle, from fighters to torpedoes, which makes failed plans feel personal. Expect long crossings and quiet stretches between fights.
Take islands and keep supplies moving
Captured islands give resources and manufacturing blueprints for weapons, ammo and vehicles. You order what you need, then route a barge to fetch it and bring it back to the carrier.
That loop rewards thinking ahead. Deck space is limited, elevator trips take time, and different unit types work better together, so combined-arms attacks beat throwing single units at defenses. Logistics are fiddly and slow, and island layouts and blueprints vary each game, so patience is part of the loadout.
What else should you know?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. You can run the whole carrier alone against AI, giving orders and automating parts of logistics, but there is a lot to watch at once: islands, torpedoes, guns, damage and launches. It is manageable, and calmer at your own pace, though most of the fun comes from sharing the workload.
Can you fight other players?
Yes. You can compete against AI or human players, including carrier-versus-carrier battles. Those fights turn on scouting, countermeasures and timing torpedoes and missiles, and sinking the enemy carrier after a long campaign is the payoff many campaigns build toward.
How long does a campaign take?
Long. A full game across around 30 islands can take dozens of hours, often 10 to 20 hours or more depending on distances and pace. You can save and continue across sessions, which suits a regular co-op group better than a single evening.
Does it support VR?
Yes. It can be played in standard non-VR mode and in VR. The bridge controls are physical buttons and screens you walk up to, which fits VR well, though the strategy layer and long travel times remain the same either way.
