The Naval tag refers to a genre or feature in video games that focuses specifically on naval warfare and naval-related gameplay mechanics. This tag is used to categorize games that prominently feature naval vessels, maritime combat, and strategic decision-making within a nautical context.

In games with the Naval tag, players typically take command of ships, submarines, or other types of naval vehicles. They engage in various forms of warfare at sea, including ship-to-ship battles, submarine warfare, amphibious assaults, and more.

The Naval tag encompasses different subgenres and types of gameplay related to naval themes. Some common features associated with the Naval tag include:

• Naval Combat These games emphasize realistic or fictional combat scenarios between warships or other naval vessels. Players may have access to a variety of weapons systems such as cannons, torpedoes, anti-aircraft guns, and missiles.
• Tactical Strategy Many naval games incorporate strategic elements where players make decisions about fleet composition, positioning their ships for optimal advantage during battles or conducting resource management for maintenance and upgrades.
• Historical Settings Some Naval-tagged titles are based on real-world historical events such as World War II conflicts in the Pacific Ocean or ancient maritime civilizations like Rome's navy.
• Piracy / Privateering Certain Naval-tagged games focus on piracy during different periods in history. This could involve commanding pirate ships as they raid merchant vessels for treasure or navigate through dangerous seas in search for hidden treasure.
• Navigational Exploration In addition to combat-focused gameplay mechanics some titles featuring the Naval tag emphasize exploration of vast open seas, discovering new islands or hidden locations as players navigate their ships through different maritime environments. Games within the Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and Sid Meier's Pirates! franchises exhibit this aspect.
