Amazing old school RTS
I played the demo version a lot in childhood until I could have the full one. I still remember the activation code haha. This is an old school RTS with very interesting mechanics and poor explored even today: build (and war) on the ocean floor. Unfortunately there is still no adaptation for wide or ultrawide resolutions, but you can have fun without problems.

Nostalgia Titan
I loved this game as a child but playing it now shows some serious flaws. The UI is too small and the controls are quite janky. Battles end up being a case of who runs out of resources first.

just another RTS game
maybe i am not being fair because i have not put hours into this game and have only played the tutorial and it is possible this game might grow on me but my first impressions are not great, i consider myself an RTS guy and have played most of them so know my way around these type of games but i just find this game tedious and confusing, for example have to tell a resource gatherer how to do it's job is a bit annoying, also it doesn't feel intuitive to me? like it hasn't employed many of the standards of many RTS games that came before. if you want one of these type of games then get supreme commander or total annihilation instead. and please understand that i am not saying it's a bad game or anything but not easy to get into, so if you are very patient and have time to burn( i do not ) then by all means get this game!

Really fun but forgotten RTS
I remember reading about this game in gaming publications back in the early 2000s and I was always intrigued by its premise. Unfortunately, I just didn't have the means to play it since, even at the time, it seemed like a pretty niche title that nobody in my social circle owned or even had a copy of. Now having finally tried it after all those years, I can tell that it could easily become one of my all-time favorites had I played it as a kid. The game has a very immersive, ominous atmosphere that makes my imagination run wild. Sure you can tell that it's old judging by its graphics, but you can't beat that 2D aesthetic that's unique to RTS games from that time. The sprite work is teeming with detail. There are plenty of random corals, air bubbles, and underwater fauna strewn across each map, while every ship and building is rendered in great detail and spiced up with fancy animations. It's just great to look at and the atmosphere is further enhanced with appropriately muffled, underwater sound effects and ambient soundtrack. Gameplay-wise it's not too dissimilar from other RTS of the time, like Starcraft or Command & Conquer. There are some incidental differences when it comes to technology tree and unit balancing or design, but at face value, Submarine Titans plays very similarly to its more famous counterparts, with its base-building, objective-based missions, and three distinct factions to play as. Ergo, if you've ever enjoyed any of those other real-time strategy games that I mentioned, you'll probably have a blast playing this one. The game's one standout feature is its strategic depth. Quite literally, because other than moving your units across a 2D plain, you can also position them vertically at different underwater altitudes, thus providing an additional layer to tactical maneuvers or map traversal. The only thing that I found a bit underwhelming was the story, which is rather minimalistic and lacks any distinct characters like in Starcraft, for example.

Great
I´m a huge C&C and Starcraft fan, and Submarine Titans is one of the few games that I considered (at the time) gets close to it in terms of fun and playability. I discovered it just by chance, as it didn't have any major advertising or promotion behind it. The setting is underwater, and as other reviewers have mentioned, this allows you to have multiple depths levels in the same isometric cell - this is crucial for battles and for some units. Submarines will dodge torpedos by rising and sinking, but only if they have vertical room to do so, so this requires some extra thinking when planning attacks (i.e.: make sure you strike from an area where you have vertical maneuverability) There are three factions in the game, each of them with their unique and quite varied tech tree and units, yet the game is very balanced overall. I didn't find the campaign mode particularly difficult if you've played any of the other major RTS. There are lots of missons in each of the three sides, so the campaign is long, but none of the missions themselves were particularly hard. I had to retry a few of them twice, and that's about it. The storyline is interesting but predictable and overall I felt it was just an excuse for the game rather than having the goal of creating a complete universe and lore in which to develop further games. Not that I cared too much - Submarine Titans was quite fun anyway. Graphics and animations were quite good for its age, and I believe you will still find the game enjoyable today. Overal, a little underappreciated gem of a RTS, and a pity that they didn't produce any Submarine Titans 2 (that I know of)
