Early access and big price tag is a scary combination, and you won't have the specifics of this game under control by the time you're past those 2 hours of Steam's refund policy. But if you like this sort of game (the one where you spend most of the time looking at a tactical map), have an interest in Cold War naval and a surprisingly big amount of aerial vehicles or like long-range missile warfare, this game is worth the risk. It offers an alright amount of missions and the devs recently released a linear campaign, the modding community adds a lot of missions on top of it (though it is one of those games where big updates kill all the mods and you have to wait for em to update). The ship models are really good looking, and have good animations on missile launches and aircraft takeoffs. The missile trails and explosion effects are also really pretty. It's not a game without faults though, enemy AI can be really stupid, your units can ignore orders or glitch out completely and if missions go on for too long the game sometimes gets very unpredictable. It is also a game with a steep learning curve, especially if you're new to the specifics of radar usage, submarine combat and missile defense. If you're unsure, I recommend watching some "Stealth17 Gaming" videos on YouTube. He gives a good view of what gameplay is like for a mid-level player, he shows advanced stuff like how to calculate intercept courses and ranges effectively with mapping tools but also makes some stupid mistakes to strike a nice balance.

The game certainly holds tremendous potential, along with high expectations from die-hard fans of the genre. However, it's somewhat unfairly represented by various YouTube reviews. Let me just say this: if you've played Cold Waters, you absolutely need to buy this game. The controls are very intuitive, especially for those familiar with Cold Waters and who already understand the basic weapons, ships, aircraft, etc., from that era. POSITIVES: 1.The game is fully expandable for future content. 2.Easy to handle, especially for Cold Waters veterans. 3.Anyone can create their own MOD or tweak existing equipment (ships, aircraft, submarines, weapon systems). 4.Incredible gameplay depth. 5.Decent 3D models overall - not all of them, but most meet quality standards with impressive detail. 6.Most importantly: there is strong community involvement in creating 3D models via the Workshop. Developers should take advantage of this and make the game more MOD-friendly. NEGATIVES: 1.The map is overloaded with markers - too many labels and data points clutter the screen. Developers need to find a way to summarise or abbreviate events to keep the map cleaner and more readable. 2.The sea (especially the seabed) needs work - visually, it still feels underdeveloped. 3.Land-based 3D moddels - visuals, such as airfields and terrain, require a lot of improvement. 4.The game should eventually expand beyond the Cold War era to include modern-day warfare. 5.There’s no tutorial available, and we desperately need campaign missions - just like Cold Waters! 6.For me (and many other users) it's very difficult to make our own missions. The mission maker needs a lot of work (and detailed instructions - HOW TO) 7.Most critically: it’s a real issue that the majority of MODs rely on Sea Lifter and Anchor Chain. Developers, please make it easier for MOD creators to integrate their work without needing such heavy dependencies. I installed Sea Lifter and Anchor Chain just to run one or two mods, and the game lagged horribly as a result. Despite all that, kudos to the development team! To anyone interested: this will be some of the best money you’ve ever spent on a game. I genuinely mean it.

Love this game, this game is a Retired US NAVY SWO's (Surface Warfare Officers) wet dream. If you like modern naval warfare and strategy this game is for you. I will say I imagine unless you have studied US and Soviet naval assets this game might have a steep learning curve, but don't let that stop you. Its blue water chess. I do hope that we get SLQ-32 control on surface ships and Areleigh Burke class destroyers

I have played this game FAR too much. It scratches that itch for naval and submarine and all round warfare that doesn't involve paywalls or multiplayer. There is a good following, and the mod community is astounding. This is still in early access, therefore, there are some bugs, but very rarely gamebreaking. The learning curve is relatively straightforward and easy to master, and devs are al;ways adding more. Modding community adds even MORE to the game with upgrades and the devs are of the opinion that YOU decide how you play the game. It can be goiing very quiet, nothing happening at all. Radar is calm, no enemy units detected. Suddenly you hear 'Vampire! Vampire! Vampire!' and it kicks off. You can go from 0-60 in a moment! over 800 hours ijn game... This is, by far, my favourite 'Go to' game... Thoroughly recommend if you love naval combat and lived through the 70s, 80s or 90s, watching films like Hunt for Red October, Crimson Dawn, Behind Enemy Lines, Final Countdown etc...

I've been in the navy for 15 years, working in the CIC as an EW controller and commander. This game is the most realistic sim I've ever seen, although I'd love to see more EW implementations. There are a few unrealistic elements, like shared contacts between aircraft and subs, but these are just minor issues. Playing scenarios feels a lot like exercises I did in the navy. Only think I would love to see is lost contacts to stay on the map as dead dead reckoned contacts and I'd love to have options for contact info view on the map. Using waypoints for missiles and add time to impact calculations would also be nice, to be able to attack a contact from multiple angles to saturate enemy defenses and hide the point of missile release as much as possible. But overall this game really is a complete package and makes me go back in time to when I was in the navy. The devs really delivered. 9/10 if you ask me.
