Kantai Collection

Kantai Collection

Kantai Collection is a Japanese free-to-play browser game. The game is about forming squadrons made up of individual characters represented as cards with different characteristics, and then sending these squadrons on missions. All the characters are moe anthropomorphisms of World War II warships, represented as cute girls called "Fleet Girls". These personified warships are based on real ships, which are explained in detail in the game; each girl's physical features, appearance, and personality are somewhat similar to the real ship (for example, ships with a larger displacement tonnage are usually portrayed as older girls with more mature bodies, while smaller ships have petite and underdeveloped figures, with a few exceptions). The player takes on the role of an admiral and organizes his/her fleets in battle to win. Combat is largely automated, and the player's manual actions include micromanagement such as building and repairing.
