### 1/5 — Worst

*2022-05-21, version 1.4.2*

Every time you die you have to start over, horrible game zero stars

### 5/5 — Recommended

*2021-03-08, version 1.2*

I truly recommend this game, it’s well made and simple, challenging, and if you get frustrated, you’ll always come back! 10/10.

### 3/5 — It has potential but needs work

*2020-08-09*

I downloaded and played it a little and from what I’ve played I think it is kinda bland and lacking features and also I think it needs a bit more of a walkthrough or at least not dropping the player straight in with practically no time to think and it starts you off going a decent speed to the enemy so you have to fire pretty much as soon as you start to get past the first level, and it just feels rough and it seems like the enemy always knows where you are even when you are driving in stealth mode, and also the torpedoes seem just a bit to quick In my opinion, but with some work this could be a actually really good game and I look forward to see its progress.

### 4/5 — Has great potential

*2020-06-19*

This game has the greatest potential for becoming one of the best simulations out there in the undersea environment. Some things that would enhance this are: 
1) Allow the range of the combat picture to be extended. This way the evade and escape but have a picture to maneuver back to the opponent. Better yet simply have the ability to zoom in/out with range rings listed in yards or nautical miles. 
2) Shifting the rudder is ultimately how the boat’s course is determined, but it would be nice if one could just enter a bearing as well. 
3) Speed control is course, would be a nice feature to just sets by knots or bell. 
4) Countermeasures! 
5) Ability to launch a spread of torpedos, vs just one along the bearing on the sub.
6) A better passive sonar capability.
