What is Cold Waters?
This single-player simulation puts you in command of a nuclear submarine as the Cold War turns into World War III. In a campaign shaped by your performance, you use sonar to track targets, fire torpedoes and missiles, and evade enemy forces while intercepting convoys and landing forces.
For you if...
- +you like tactical combat built around detection and evasion
- +you enjoy learning naval tactics without complex controls
Not for you if...
- −you want fast action without patient tracking and planning
- −you prefer commanding surface ships rather than submarines
- −you want a forgiving game that rarely punishes mistakes
