About This Game

After tracking a Soviet landing force bound for Iceland it is time to plan your attack. Do you silently close in to torpedo the landing ships and escape during the resulting chaos? Or strike with long-range missiles but risk counterattack from the enemy escorts? Have you detected them all, could another submarine be out there listening for you? Has the hunter become the hunted? Will you survive the Cold Waters?

Inspired by the 1988 classic “Red Storm Rising”, command a nuclear submarine in a desperate attempt to prevent “mutually assured destruction” when the Cold War gets hot and WWIII begins.

You will be tasked with intercepting convoys, amphibious landings, insertion missions and battling it out with enemy warships, submarines and aircraft. Thankfully, an arsenal of wire-guided torpedoes, anti-ship and cruise missiles and the occasional SEAL team are on board to keep the Iron Curtain at bay.

Major Features:
- Real-time naval combat
- Over 40 classes of ships and submarines all meticulously researched
- Dynamic Campaign where your performance matters
- Realistic sonar model
- Authentic Soviet combat tactics

Very fun game with unparalleled modern submarine simulation. Practically legacy software, now, though - not receiving further development and never reached its full potential. There are some mods that completely overhaul and expand the game, but even those are starting to stagnate. Buy on sale if you're really interested.

I would like to just say i have been playing sub games for many years... starting with the DOS 688 attack sub and working on up with almost every sub game to date. Don't buy this game as there are other better sub games out there. This game has game play and control issues: 1. while adjusting the weapons load-out the game world is moving, which cause you to bounce out of the adjusting the load-out too which you have to go back into it. If the game had been made properly the player should not get interrupted while doing anything. No reason it should take hrs away from the player when they are in effect just filling out a form to requisition torps... time should only count after the player makes the selection 2. the load-out process is laborious and could be done allot better, a drag drop method for loading torps would work much better than adding and subtracting total counts with tubes being impacted last. 3. Ship controls are tiny with many lacking a tip tool that will tell you wh...

Cold Waters is a tactical submarine simulator that plunges players into the tense and shadowy world of Cold War naval warfare. Developed by Killerfish Games, it offers a richly detailed, realistic portrayal of undersea combat during the early 1960s, drawing heavy inspiration from the classic Red Storm Rising game from the late '80s. For fans of naval strategy and submarine simulations, Cold Waters provides a gripping and immersive experience that combines deep tactical decision-making with atmospheric storytelling, creating a game that rewards patience, strategic thinking, and situational awareness. The game places you in command of a nuclear-powered American submarine tasked with intercepting and neutralizing Soviet naval forces in a variety of challenging scenarios. Each mission unfolds on a realistic 3D map of the northern Atlantic Ocean or other cold waters, where sonar contacts must be analyzed, enemy positions tracked, and engagement decisions carefully weighed. Unlike fast-pace...

I like this game, have being playing submarine sims since Silent Service series. It can be a tense knife fight underwater, especially trying to get into the opposing sub's baffles. The only criticism I would have is that you are not able to have the ability plot the course of a contact on the screen, so if you lose contact you can have a rough guess on its position when trying re-establish contact.
