Battle Grid Companion

Marmalade Game Studio

About this app

Call your shot and fire with the official BATTLESHIP companion app. The companion app connects directly to BATTLESHIP on Nintendo Switch™ and acts as a controller. This app doesn’t include the full game.

Play the official version of the classic Hasbro board game with your friends and family around the big screen with the local multiplayer mode for BATTLESHIP on Nintendo Switch™. Find your friend’s ships on the battlefield and sink their fleet before they eliminate yours.

Use the companion app as your game controller to deploy your ships and keep your grid hidden. Fire shots and watch your hits land on the big screen.

It’s easy to get started. Launch BATTLESHIP on Nintendo Switch™. Select Play with Friends from the main menu and choose Local. Open the official companion app and enter the lobby code shown on the Nintendo Switch™ screen to connect the app to your Nintendo Switch™.

- Use the companion app as your personal controller in the faithful conversion of the classic board game.

- Pick your commander. The commander’s fleets feature unique and authentic art for each of the many warships.

- Hide your ships on the grid in arenas inspired by historical naval battles.

- On your turn call your shot and fire!

- Use special abilities in Commanders Mode to shake up the strategic possibilities each turn.

- Watch your opponent’s ships sink on the big screen.

Play your favourite tactical board game with your friends and family now!

Ratings and reviews

The app won't let two phones join at the same time, which makes it unplayable with your family... And it's a family game. We would play this all the time if we could play together in local multi-player if the app worked as well as it does for the other marmalade games

Got the game for local multiplayer experience, unfortunately on switch which does not do refunds. The app itself disconnects every time from the game server, and there is no way to rejoin an ongoing match. So, after 10 attempts to play a game, and not being able to finish a single one, I wish I could leave a no star review, but have to settle for a 1 star.

Will not connect with Steam game for "Play with Friends" using "Lobby Code" as advertised by the official website. Neither the game nor app give an error or invalid code message. The app either loads infinitely on the "Joining Game" screen or says "Waiting for Other Player"; however, the other player will be unable to start the game because the next button for continuing to the lobby will never become active. The game is a complete waste of time and money if you want to play locally.
