About the game

The value story
It has been discounted 78 times in the 8 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter ($8.99, scores 29) and Cold Waters ($39.99, scores 46) both outscore it.

What players say
ITS TOO OBVIOUS A PROPAGANDA GAME, thats it like they even say how much they like putin and instead of the truth whiich is, some drunk sailor dropped a fully fueled torpedo with a ready warhead, probably to show he was not that drunk and then putin left those poor guys who survived 23 days in darkness and cold cause he wouldnt use the american rescue sub that was able to rescue them and in the game, supposedely...

Game runs poorly, movement is bad, horrible load times. I loved the idea but poor execution.
Good idea/theme but poorly executed (a bit buggy and long door opening animations every few seconds). Positive overall considering the low price tho.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
