Reviews
- Highly detailed and realistic simulation of modern Virginia class submarines with authentic systems including sonar, fire control, and navigation.
- Extensive immersion with accurate acoustic modeling and complex tactical gameplay rewarding patient and dedicated players.
- Strong potential to become the leading modern submarine simulator with ongoing developer commitment and future improvements planned.
- Currently in a very early access/alpha state with numerous bugs, poor optimization, and unstable performance even on high-end systems.
- Lack of enemy AI combat; opponents do not engage offensively, resulting in minimal challenge and gameplay depth at present.
- Sparse and inadequate documentation, no in-game tutorials, and a steep learning curve making the game inaccessible for many players currently.
story
69 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story and mission content are severely limited and plagued by numerous bugs, poor AI behavior, and frustrating design choices that often make missions impossible or tedious to complete. Mission briefings suffer from poor writing and lack meaningful guidance or variety, leading to repetitive, unengaging gameplay punctuated by performance issues and technical problems. Overall, the current campaign feels unfinished and lacks the depth, polish, and narrative coherence expected from a serious simulation.
“They start assets off in random places each time so the scenario mission may stay the same, but it plays out differently every time.”
“After you exit the mission you can choose to watch a summary which shows you and all the other vessels and their tracks the entire time, so you see a top down map plot of the entire mission and realize a contact was real for 50 seconds before disappearing.”
“With more extensive missions and an enemy AI to match the depth of detail, it will be a real monster.”
“I am not kidding - you literally cannot complete the first campaign mission - is anyone testing this before release?”
“The developers want you to treat this as a hardcore sim, however the missions in the game read like really bad fan-fiction stories, complete with poor spelling, punctuation, and grammar.”
“After 3 or 4 missions only once was I able to make contact (AIS or sonar), the game time is slow even at 4x time boost.”
