How it feels

A meticulous, pressure-filled command simulation where every sonar ping and tactical decision carries weight.

What players say

Players say the submarine sim has a great concept but was released far too early. It lacks enemy AI, has severe performance issues even on high-end hardware, and is full of bugs. Many feel the $59 price is unjustified for what is essentially a tech demo.
