Opinions about this game

Hello Elphaba

I'm one of the developer of the game.
Thank you for your opinion but it sounds not very trueley.
We got hundreds of very nice comments about the game and we work further on it to improve all parts.

I think your only opinion is to damage the game and us.

Your comment is really not fair.

Tell us your name and account and you get your money back. No problem.

Sincerely

Chris

I love this game. I grew up in the age of the great Microprose games like F-15 Strike Eagle, Airborne Ranger, and especially Silent Service. Silent Service was an awesome submarine simulator on my C-64 which I played years ago, and Silent Depth give me a second chance to prowl the oceans looking for enemy ships. I think the graphics are great, but it's the gameplay that stands out to me. Go on a war patrol and slowly maneuver your sub to within striking distance of some unsuspecting enemy ship. Unleash your torpedo's and then sneak away as your enemy explodes and then sinks beneath the surface. If your not good enough you'll be hunted down, but that's part of the cat and mouse strategy of submarine warfare. I'm having a great time playing Silent Depth, and I look forward to many more hours of gameplay. Bravo!

Finally a true submarine sim on iOS

If you are a fan of sub sims, this should be an instant purchase for you. The sim is missing some of the features you would have in a pc sim, such as manual targeting. However, this sim is light years ahead of anything else you will find on iOS. To me, this sim is reminiscent of Silent Service 2, and that's a good thing.

Love it

Still need to fix some bug issues. Would like to resume back to the game when you need to close the app for text or phone. Also some times when you go to the saved game it won't work multiple black screens. But I do enjoy the game. Glad I bought it

I have been playing the game a fair bit, it is a good take on doing an updated version of SS2, i think the normal difficulty at present is a little too easy and the hard setting is way too hard (ships have infinite view range and spot you straightaway even if you are outside the indicated visibility ranges) but it is definitely worth any subsimmers time and i expect future updates to address some of the current imbalances

agathosdaimon · 01-21-17, 06:40 AM

when might the next update be on the way? i want to get back to playing it but the issues i mention put me off for now - i have been playing crash dive just for comparison and although i thinnk silent depth is more of the sim here and crash dive mmore arcadey, crash dive has a more complex ai in regard to destroyer behaviour - destroyers dont automatically see me, - the start their search only after i start attacking -(either i sink a ship or a ship spots a torpedo in the water and even then the destroyer has to ping me on its sonar - also when destroyers come for me in crash dive they zig zag so it is hard to torpedo them until they are very close)

Elphaba you could have just sent me a mail and would have got your money instantly back. But well. You took the public route, so just send me your paypal account, so I can refund you. Get a drink of that money and just forget this ****ty game.

I know complainers like you. You would even complain if it's for free. Actually I feel sorry for you, what a waste of time...

agathosdaimon, I agree. Destroyer behavior is going to change with the coming update which we work on. Due to the still part time work on this it's hard to estimate when it will go online.

agathosdaimon · 01-23-17, 02:11 AM

okay great, i look forward to the next update!

It was on the App Store so no refunds.

You and 'Sung' might think I'm trolling, but honestly I'm not. I've been playing submarine games consistently since Silent Steel in the mid 90's.

I've owned every Silent Hunter game from 3 onwards, and have great fun in Sub Command and Dangerous Waters.

However you game (on iOS) was sorely - and I use the word loosely - optimised for a touch screen, with very small, fiddly controls that were not finger optimised - and I say this as a game and iOS dev.

The gameplay was simplistic, the graphics, poor and not retina (fuzziness is the dead giveaway) and I'm guessing it's because it was a PC port?

I've watched, waited and constantly went to and fro on whether to buy it or not, and desperate for a good mobile sub game, I took the plunge and within 3 minutes was utterly disappointed and annoyed.

So, I can't speak to the people who have paid and given you praise, but I doubt very many have the experience with the top flight 'sub sim' games than I and I'm not convinced that your visibly desperate need to post 'good' reviews says more about your own anxieties with the game and insecurities than it does any false notions of trolling on my part.

Hey Elphaba, I know you're not a troll. A troll would have just created a new account but you were so brave to use your real one so actually I really appreciate that!

You have balls.

Well at least virtually, dunno if that's for real as well. HA!

Do you have any examples for a good sub sim game on iOS? What do you mean with "top flight sub sims"? Seriously I would love to see how others have done the UI. Actually our game is not a PC port, it was thought to be done directly for touch devices and not PC. Making this for PC would have made things much much easier.

Personally I think a phone screen below 6" is simply to little to play this game. Should probably be a tablet. I know that the UI is not perfect and often you get used to stuff during development which is why we love to get feedback.

As you're an iOS dev too, could you be so kind to show some examples of your games?

Regarding the refund: Please send me your PayPal address and you will get your money back.
