Wolfpack

Hello folks here is what I think about the game.

Coming from a Silent Hunter series & U-boat, this is a new level of realism. It is as close to a real thing as it gets & if you don't learn the basics, you will hate the game. I love & hate it at the same time, I will explain why in a second. I have tried the game solo & I could not even get through the tutorial, (2 torpedoes hit out of 15) even though I did everything according to manuals. The game is early access & it has a small team, but it's a (VERY EARLY ACCESS) even after a couple of years of it being on Steam. I do love it for its potential & being able to play with other people in the same boat, but I hate the lack of proper tutorials and even the manuals are not as good as they should be. I don't consider myself to be smart, and it would be nice if devs put more time into explaining the nuances of how to calculate torpedo solutions & so on. There is mathematics involved, but the manual lacks thorough explanation on that part in my opinion & you're pretty much on your own to figure it out. That's just bad for sales if you want this game to be a success work on tutorials & manuals to get people like me in! Who are coming from arcade-ish
U-boat background.

I will recommend this game for people who want to experience the best realism out there in a U-boat.
For people who have time to invest & want to learn the game by themselves.  For people who already have a team or are looking for one.

I won't recommend this game for busy people. Or if you love to play solo. If you're lacking time & want to hop on for quick fun in a U-boat or think you can manage this without learning the game it is not for you! it requires some time investment from your side to learn, and know how every system on board works & how to play together in a team.

For the devs, I shall say great project with lots of potential!

1). I would love to see better manuals/ tutorials/guides.
2). A career: solo/multiplayer
3). A Scripted/Dynamic campaign solo/multiplayer

If you do this correctly the game can become the best in it's genre.

Sincerely Roman 

realistic as heck

BOTE

This game is THE Das Boot simulator. I love playing this game but only in the BETA because i usually man the engines.

I have had countless fun tormenting my captain in this game

Realistic subsim game!

Most co-op games just involve you running around in a squad and shooting stuff with your friends, who may very likely end up across the map from you. This forces you all to be in a tin can together and scream at each other through loudspeakers and metal tubes. There is no tutorial. Channel your autism and learn like a real sailorman. Make sure you play on the "beta-beta" branch. That's where all the cool stuff is.

Its fun to play with friends

So you are sitting there contemplating buying a WWII submarine simulator . . . so what are you waiting for? This is the game you want. You don't want the arcade style, simplified, stupified, happy go lucky click and play. You want the gritty, knowledge based, strong go home and the weak sink to the depths. This game can be challenging. The controls which seem daunting at first will become second nature. Flood your negative tank when on the surface, ensure your batteries are charged, pump your bilge . . . . so obvious because you're a master of the sea. But these common things, these obvious, become challenged when . . . a destroyer spots you and fires it deck guns, you submerge, now its pinging you. Do you turn left or right, full speed or slow? These decisions will decide your fate and your crew members. They have served so honorably answering every command and now they look to you in a moments notice to decide. Do you have the mettle? Take a turn at the helm and find out . . .

Yeps

fantastic game super realistic! but please add the features that you said were just working out bugs 10 months+ ago

closest thing to actually commanding a u-boat you will ever get. very immersive

Top of the line submarine game to play with friends. Wish the devs took our money and the game more seriously though :'(

As a big fan of U-boat games (silent hunter 5 and Uboat), this game hit right at home. I played as the captain of my 4 man crew of dumb fumbling loons and we had a blast of a time.

The atmosphere! Hear the noises of people talking from afar echoing in the hull, the engines increasing revs, the control room filled with information being passed around...the sound design is perfect. Couple this with the lighting, switching to red and moving around with your flashlight...its almost scary inside the tube. But after the battle is over, you surface and open the hatch to the most calming of seas, waves crashing against the hull and the wind breeze in your ears.

The interactive play! Having to navigate, spot, maintain the engines, measuring hostiles, controlling depth and course, having ears on sonar and laughing your face off at the same time?! Every role feels overwhelmed yet critical to the success of the sub and that feeling of a job well done (even when you cant see the blast), you feel the crew smile with joy.

This game is exactly what you pay for! Easy 10/10 no complaints...well

This game is still early access and its current state is enjoyable but lacks re-playablity. My crew and I went on 8 "patrols" and sunk over 86200 tons! Yet now we feel, empty? The map is empty, the seas are empty so it feels like the game is empty once you sink the enemy. I cannot wait for the career mode since it will make this game feel bigger than just a demo.

Also please let us put in custom songs!

good

its a hard but fun sim , me and my friends have had a blast on this

no pause feature, means unless you complete each mission in a single throw its all wasted gameplay. apart from that the little playtime i did have was exactly what i was looking for in terms of a submarine simulator.

And the idea of five players per vessel, and a max of five vessels in the game at the same time means this really is a competitor for submarine fans.

sadly without the ability to pause the singleplayer action (which is actually just playing alone in a multiplayer server) this game is not for those like myself that need this function.

this is what the recommendation is purely based upon and what a shame.

hopefully it gets developer attention, and i would repurchase instantly.

good game - very realistic - none of that third person looking around crap

This is a unique simulator in that you can play with other players as fellow crew members.

Really fun and highly detailed, If your looking for a realistic sub operation experience this is it. Only wish there were more people that played you'll be lucky to find public server with the 40 players a day this game gets.

literally THE submarine game of all time

Awesome simulator but, really!, we need time compression. At least time compression for single player and multiplayer when all players are in same submarine.

Wolfpack is a quite ambitious mini project of a small team dedicated to a hardcore submarine simulation. Due to the team size, the progress is unfortunately not too fast, however the playstyle is quite immersive and challenging. Definitely one-of-a-kind to explore in coop-mode with a few friends!

ALARM!!!!!!!!!!!

Long, Hard & Full of seamen

yes

El mejor simulador de submarinos que he visto en mi vida. El simulador se centra en ser lo más realista posible. Y esto mejorará con las actualizaciones previstas para el simulador que lo harán excepcional. Una compra obligada a los aficionados a los subsims y a todos los amantes de los juegos de guerra.

Not many multiplayer lobbies sadly, but get your friends to play it with you and it is awesome. Hope for more updates eventually.

Game looks good and has some cool features but at the end of the day it lacks substance and ends up getting stale pretty fast. I understand its a Early access but like every "early access" game is stays that way for years with limited updates.

managed to sink one boat after 10 hours and got blown up by the British



U-96/10

Game too expensive for what it is.
Better buy game "Uboat" if you want to play submarines. Dev of wolfpack is super slow, very unreliable and can't communicate.
I had good fun with it but for this price ($35) i wouldn't buy it. It's value is, after 5 years in EA about $15 to $20 - and you need two friends with the game too.

Great game

Very cool sim, amazing to play in coop
Hopefully the carreermode will also be coop

Absolutely love this! However would request the developers to add lightly animated npcs (sleeping in the bunks, cooking, sitting in bunk, tinkering machines etc.). It'll enhance the immersion and atmosphere. A boat with only 4/5 crews seems outlandish!

SUB GO BOOM

Math class simulator meets rowing club.

I can really say this game is very good. I hope there are more players joining the game.

A deep dive into the mechanics of a German U-Boat. If you are willing to study the functions of a submarine and capable of working in a team for at least a 3-4hrs per Feindfahrt, then you are in for a joyride.

ITS A FUCKING HEAVY CRUISER RUNNNNNNNNNN

Do you like U-boats? Do you like simulations? Then this is the sim for you! It's got something for everyone that enjoys this type of sim. Wanna be the captain and set firing solutions? Wanna be the diving officer operating the dive planes and the ballast tanks? Wanna be the chief engineer running the diesels and electric motors, or machinist assisting in these things? Sonarman listening for contacts? IT'S ALL HERE!!!

Get it! Join a crew and sink some tonnage!

great game, u can play single player by yourself or with AI crew or multi player with up to a 4 sub wolfpack with 7 player on each sub.. NOW THATS FUN

This game is absolutely not ready to play yet. Has lots of potential, but I'd be surprised to see this game actually live up to it in the next 5 years. The way these developers have been working on this game is slower than my dell computer in 2006.

Love this game super realistic, greatest thing is having a full crew of other players working together

Wolfpack feels like dating someone who has a really annoying kid. You really want it to work out and you honestly think they're smart, but they're also incredibly annoying and frustrating to work with. I kept trying and trying to find the sweet spot to make this work, but it just made me want to smash my head in.

Coming into the game brand new, it's entirely reading a manual and feels much like starting a board game night and no one knew the rules. Just wait till you bust out the calculator as part of the setup. Nothing is more of a buzzkill than mentioning "calculus" at a house party.

That said, if you know how to calculate the 1/16th's hectometre distancing to the targets, then maybe you'd love this! Just make sure you can find others to join you because the available lobbies were no more than 2 anytime I looked.

Where I want the game to feel like a machine and coordinate with your team to delegate orders, feel well organised, and accomplish your missions, it's actually more like waiting for that one person struggling over your groups math homework before you can collectively turn it into teacher.

Spent 1 hour with my buddy trying to hit a boat only to miss 6 shots and get sunk by a escort.

Note: its not like UBOAT play the tutorial.
10/10

Sonar go PING
