''Flotilla'' is a 2010 turn-based strategy space combat video game developed by Brendon Chung's studio, Blendo Games. The game was released in March 2010 on Steam for Microsoft Windows and on Xbox Live Indie Games for the Xbox 360. ''Flotilla'' was designed with Microsoft's XNA tools, and its development was influenced by animals as well as board games such as ''Axis and Allies'' and ''Arkham Horror''. The game takes the player in an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy. Chung began developing ''Flotilla'' immediately after the closure of Pandemic Studios, where he had worked as a designer. The new game used assets imported from Chung's early space combat prototype, ''Space Piñata''. ''Flotilla'' incorporates several pieces of classical music in its score, such as Chopin's "Raindrop" prelude. It received mixed reviews from video game media outlets, scoring 72 out of 100 on review aggregate website Metacritic, and was included in Mike Rose's book ''250 Indie Games You Must Play''. == Gameplay == ''Flotilla'' is a three-dimensional simultaneous turn-based strategy space combat video game set in a randomly generated galaxy.〔 The player and computer-controlled opponents issue orders to their ships, which are carried in a simultaneous and real-time fashion over a period of 30 seconds. The game then freezes, and the player and opponents issue new orders to their ships, which are again performed for 30 seconds. This process repeats until one party is defeated.〔 Orders are separated into three groups: attack move, flank move and focus fire. An attack move orders the ships to move and fire simultaneously; a flank move increases the ship's speed but deactivates weapons until the ship stops moving; and focus fire increases fire rate but significantly reduces the ship's speed.〔 At the beginning of the game, the player is usually given two ships to control, but more become available as the game continues. Ships may be rotated arbitrarily in any direction.〔 The single-player mode is an "adventure" that can be played an indefinite number of times. These adventures have a duration of around 30 minutes.〔 The character dies at the end of each adventure and the player is given the option to play again.〔 A hardcore mode, which removes the solo mode's standard 30-minute time limit, was later added to the game.〔〔 Each time the player starts a new adventure, a new galaxy is randomly generated and filled with planets and enemy ships.〔 The player may take a short tutorial before beginning the adventure.〔 Each planet offers a possible quest or challenge to the player. Challenges are tactical battles in which the player must fight against a variety of enemies.〔 However, ships can only be harmed from behind or below; attacks from any other position will be countered by the ships' shields.〔 Upon succeeding, a new chapter is added to the player's character's story, and the player is rewarded with ship upgrades.〔 These upgrades are used to customize ships with improvements, such as increased firing speed or heavier rear armor. The upgrades available to the player upon finishing each encounter with an enemy can vary, so the player may not receive the same upgrade by playing the same encounter in two different adventures. ''Flotilla'' has cooperative and split-screen multiplayer modes that can be played with an additional Xbox 360 controller.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flotilla (video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
