Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Submarine Titans is a real-time strategy game set in the distantfuture. A massive comet hits the Earth in 2047, forcing survivors below the surface of the oceans. They create new civilizations over the centuries, but once again start to war with one another. Players can choose between three distinct civilizations, each with its own objective, history, units, technologies, and strategies. There are the power-hungry White Sharks, the technology-savvy Black Octopi, and the alien Silicons. Players can build and deploy armies, research technology, and mine for resources. Units and buildings can be hidden in caves, under cliffs, or above opponents. The 3-D underwater universe contains five depth/elevation levels, winding mountain ranges, dimly lit caverns, cliffs, and dark tunnels. The four environments include toxic wastelands and the artic. There is a scenario editor, a random mission generator, and a scripting language that allows the creation or modification of custom player assistants and enemy artificial intelligence. The game has multiplayer support for up to 24 players over a LAN or the Internet.

Think of this as Command and Conquer underwater! This game predicts how undersea empires would wage war over a century in the future.

If you long for the days of the 1990's when you played C&C and all it's sequels, and you still have a working Windows 98 machine sitting around (like I do, thankfully) then by all means spend a buck or two and get this game!

Sure it looks like it was done a few years ago, but the implementation is beautiful. The sea floors are very textured with lots of precisely rendered and colorful little sea critters swimming by as you build your base and your subs and try to complete your mission.

The various units and technologies are very imaginative. There's a lot of very cool units with big, interesting tech trees to work your way through. The missions are challenging but not infuriatingly difficult or mindlessly easy. There are cut scenes between missions, and you can play through three campaigns: one for each race (or group) represented in the game.

This game is as much art as programming and was obviously a lot of work for a lot of people. I don't know why it didn't become one of the most well known RTS games of its time.

Oh yeah, I've played this game through several skirmish missions and I'm six episodes into a campaign and it hasn't crashed yet! The game is totally reliable from a technical point of view.

So, spend a buck or two for a used copy and give it a try. Once you start, you might not come up for air for a long time!

This game came to me as a throw in in some other game I bought, and to tell you the truth, I can't even remember what game that was. When I moved to an XP machine I moved this also and it has worked fine. Now, many years later I still play it for a few weeks at a time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Starcraft?, September 5, 2009

This review is from: Submarine Titans (CD-ROM)

While I still enjoy Starcraft, this game, Submarine Titians is a up to 8 player RTS that came out the same time and was sadly overlooked. Submarine Titians has many more options and settings than Starcraft does and also has a map editor.
Once installed no disk is needed to play (all from Hard Drive) and it supports 1024 x 768 where Starcraft is only 640 x 480. Unlimited units and a user setting for self repair (Subs try to return during a battle to a repair) ability make this pretty cool. You can have your subs stay until the end too and not try and return for repair. You can also team up with the computer players AI to play any variation of teams plus set the computer player AI level among many other settings in the game. The learning curve is not much more than Starcraft and there is some interesting tech in the tree including Nukes foe the White Sharks.
This game is worthy of a reprint along with Vampire Bloodlines, a really good FPS/RPG running on the Halflife 2 engine.
I run this game under XP with no problems, can not say if it works under Millennium II, I mean Vista.
