Aqua (also known as Naval Warfare for the PC version) is a 2010 twin-stick shooter video game developed by Games Distillery and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade. The game is set in an alternate reality where most of the Earth is covered with water and factions war for the remaining pieces of land.
The game received mixed reception from reviewers who gave high praise to the game's hand-drawn cutscenes and steampunk setting. Gameplay was received to mixed commentary among reviewers, who praised the game's length and some also praised Aqua for attempting to do more than typical twin-stick shooters, but others expressed disappointment in the number of escort missions and lack of online multiplayer.
