Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter will be available in Steam Early Access in a few weeks.

During the development process, we have one main goal - we want to make the best simulator possible. And on the occasion of #ScreenshotSaturday, let us prove it with some cool shots!

Demo version of the game is available on Steam

Great news! I've played the Steam demo quite a bit. I have the title on my Wish List so I'll get an e-mail when it releases. This will be a first day purchase for me.

Wonderful and it was time that it came to Early Access.

I am really looking forward for this one.
I do hope the sub behaviour is fixed or different since it is the only part of this game that I believe needs tweaking but I really like the rest of features and options.

In case you wonder about what do I mean about sub behaviour, is the kamikaze attitude of being forced to dive and chaging in straight line towards the convoy at flank, making no effort to lose the escort and raising to persicope depth in seconds, expose the periscope a few seconds and scoring and sinking ships with one torp 100% of the times as long as he can raise the scope. Sometimes he comes to periscope depth when I am just 500 yards behind him, raises the scope 3 seconds, fires, sinks the merchant and evades my attack going deep in seconds.

Not a realistic / historical behaviour but this also be related to the fact that this was a sandbox demo of limites time to complete the objective so the sub is forcing the scenario by attacking this way.
Hopefully this is just a demo issue and the release version comes with a more elaborated and credible u-boat commander behaviour.

Looking forward to it !!

I’m really looking forward to this. The demo shows the potential. I really think the developers are trying to building a quality simulation while balancing marketplace demands.

Will there be a non-steam version available too? I think there should be one from developers website.
