Ironclads 2: Boshin War
A niche naval wargame where you build fleets, blockade ports, and manage supply lines across the 1868-69 Boshin War, deep enough to reward tactical thinking, obscure enough that you need to want this specific conflict.
GamerScout Verdict
For patient wargamers who specifically want historical naval tactics without modern conveniences or tutorials.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Ironclads 2: Boshin War
I'll be straight with you: Ironclads 2 is a low-profile turn-based naval strategy sim built around the Boshin War, Japan's 19th-century civil conflict. You're managing fleet composition, positioning squadrons in protected harbors while reinforcements arrive, orchestrating amphibious assaults, and strangling enemy trade routes. The mechanics are solid, real asymmetric warfare between modernizing naval forces and traditional fleets. There's genuine decision weight in where you station your ships and when you commit to engagement. The catch? This is a specialist title with a tiny footprint and no handholding. The tutorial doesn't explain everything, documentation is sparse, and the playerbase is vanishingly small. If you're drawn to historical naval simulation, granular logistics, and don't mind figuring out systems through trial, it's worthwhile. If you want approachable strategy or broad audience polish, keep walking.
