Become a Wolf of the Deep
UBOAT is an open-world submarine simulator set during WWII. Blending strategy and survival elements, the game places players in the role of a German U-boat captain carrying out missions inspired by real historical events.
Gameplay goes far beyond steering and attacking—it’s about managing your entire crew. Players must take care of their sailors’ needs and keep morale high. From choosing patrol routes to laying mines and ambushing convoys, every decision counts. Success leads to upgrades and new abilities for your submarine.
The game emphasizes realism, both in crew life aboard the sub and in mission execution. UBOAT includes dozens of intricate simulation features like historic torpedo calculators, Earth curvature on the horizon, and ballast simulation across compartments. Deep Water Studio has also implemented a complex damage system that adds survival-like mechanics to the experience.
