How it feels

A tense, cooperative real-time strategy game where players work together to manage a WW2 submarine under pressure.

What players say

Players are sharply divided: some praise it as a useful companion for the board game, but many warn it is not a standalone game. The app is frequently called outdated, with reports of persistent audio bugs on PC, only seven missions and no new content, and long sailing with little action. Newcomers find the controls confusing and the pace boring.
