Das Boot

At a glance

Das Boot is a submarine warfare simulation from Artech Digital Entertainment, originally released in 1990. You command a 1941-era Type VII U-Boat in missions against Allied forces across sea, surface and air. The game offers torpedoes, an 88mm deck gun and anti-aircraft batteries, with the option to dive for protection from airborne threats. A hydrophone helps detect depth charges, enemy submarines and surface threats, while an onboard code-cracking machine is used to decipher transmissions. Missions range from the Strait of Gibraltar to the coastlines of Norway, and three difficulty settings shape the challenge. You can evade depth charges or surface to attack ships with deck guns. The Windows release is a single-player game, with Family Sharing listed as a feature. Ziggurat publishes this action, adventure, simulation and strategy title, which presents submarine combat through a mix of navigation, detection and weapons decisions.

Who it is for

Das Boot suits players interested in solo submarine command, torpedo combat and mission-based strategy. Its three difficulty settings offer options as players’ warfare skills develop.
