It is a survival sandbox with crew management mechanics while its primary theme is life of German sailors. The boat is their home, but it can become their grave at any time. In UBOAT you control the crew in order to control the boat. You look after their physical and mental health, because if the sailors are hungry, tired and their spirit is low, there’s no chance of winning even a skirmish.Survival. The extensive damage system is a foundation of the game's survival elements. Unprecedented situations are bound to happen as the effect of received damage, testing player's creativity and ability to stay calm. You can try to save the whole crew or leave someone behind, to save the others. While your ship travels through the open seas, you will often find yourself being on your own. Use your management skills to spend resources taken on the trip optimally and in special cases try to recover them on the sea, by asking your allies for the help... or by looting wreckages of enemy ships. Disable unnecessary devices, to keep your accumulators running for longer. . Tell your crew to stay in
I went in with modest expectations and came out genuinely impressed. UBOAT leans hard into Action, RPG, Sim, and that is exactly the part that worked for me. On paper it is UBOAT is a simulator of a submarine from WWII era. It is a survival sandbox, and for once the game mostly lives up to that. It never wastes your time with filler encounters. Checkpoints are frequent enough that a bad run never feels punishing. If you are on the fence, give it a shot.
Picked this up on a whim and ended up playing it every evening for two weeks. If Action, RPG, Sim is your thing, UBOAT delivers it without much filler. It helps that the premise (UBOAT is a simulator of a submarine from WWII era. It is a survival sandbox) actually shows up in the moment-to-moment play. Short sessions work fine here; I rarely lost progress to a bad checkpoint. Checkpoints are frequent enough that a bad run never feels punishing. I will be back for another run.
