TransOcean 2: Rivals Steam

In TransOcean 2: Rivals you face a new
challenge as the boss of your own shipping line: The international
competition has gotten a lot tougher and the battle for the most
lucrative contracts has only just begun. Will you succeed in
sweeping your rivals from the seven seas and leading your shipping
line to global success and renown?

The Game

TransOcean 2: Rivals, the second chapter of the
successful business simulation TransOcean, offers days of
entertaining play either alone in its three single-player modes –
Campaign, Endless Game and Competition – or with friends in a
thrilling, competitive multiplayer mode.

Get started with your newly founded shipping line in one of 60
ports and begin your career with a small fleet of worn-out old
Feeders, the smallest type of ship in TransOcean 2: Rivals. Choose
your port wisely and complete your first contracts to nearby ports
in order to generate your first funds. Conduct your business with
brains, plan your voyages with foresight and don’t underestimate
external factors like the price of oil or your rival companies.
This is how you will slowly expand your fleet and establish
subsidiaries across the whole world. Are you up to mastering all
the challenges?

A livelier economic system influencing all kinds of goods
ensures that in TransOcean 2: Rivals you are also
faced with macroeconomic challenges. With the three types of ships
– Tankers, Container Ships and Bulk Carriers – you have even more
options to specialize and take your company to the top. Challenge
your rivals and develop your own global business enterprise.

In the single-player mode, you can also give yourself a very
unique challenge: Steer your ships directly in a variety of 3D
environments when the tugboats go on strike and the going gets
tough. Can you maneuver both small and large vessels undamaged
through the harbor basin?

The Campaign

You already made it years ago. You paid off that hard-nosed
investor and were the most successful shipping magnate on all the
seven seas. But then something went wrong! Your shipping empire
collapsed and what’s more – your old consultant and friend, Hiram
T. Witherspoon, ended up behind bars. Now you’re living the life of
a recluse as a dog sled pilot in Alaska. But your desire to help
Hiram and put a stop to your adversary, Lydia Blythe-Smith’s,
plans, drives you back to the world’s ports.

Have you got what it takes to face down old and new competitors
and become the successful shipping magnate you once were? Because
only then can you put a halt to Lydia Blythe-Smith’s attacks once
and for all.

Campaign Features:

• 6 exciting chapters that gradually make the player familiar
  with all the game mechanics
• Three different medals per chapter increase replayability
  enormously
• Catch up with old acquaintances and meet some new ones, while
  pitting yourself against unscrupulous rivals
• Also in all single-player modes: Steer your ships yourself in
  an immersive 3D mini game

Multiplayer Mode

In multiplayer mode you play against up to 7 real opponents.
And you’re going to need real strategic skill to stay ahead of the
competition. With increasing pressure from your competitors, you
will also see your opportunities increase: Battle for economic
domination in the different regions or engage in sabotage
activities to damage your competitors. But think carefully: Your
rivals won’t just take that lying down.

A single game is divided into several rounds in which you have
to complete defined tasks in order to achieve Victory Points. The
player who acquires the most Victory Points at the end of the game
wins. Victory Point criteria are always randomly defined at the
beginning of a game. You can manually set a game’s duration. This
means there’s never an overriding optimum strategy and each game
brings new challenges. While in one game you might receive Victory
Points for making the most money, in another the reward will
perhaps come from having the most modern ship. Will you rise up to
all challenges and defeat your competitors?

Multiplayer Mode Features:

• Play with up to 7 players in real time
• Differing Victory Point criteria randomly set at the beginning
  of every game make every experience unique
• Plenty of possible game strategies make for varied
  sessions
• Sabotage your rivals to get ahead at the decisive moment
• The length of every game can be defined and last up to 2
  hours
