I just bought a windows 8 tablet. This won't run on it.

Grrr

Thanks for pointing this one out to us. Will give it a look.

Very good review, but not for me. I have tremendous respect for the WW2 submariners but I will not take an 'enemy' boat out against my own ships. And before anyone says its 'just a game' - I have done decades of research into the Battle of the Atlantic and know all about the Allied civilian casualties and how many of them died. And how 75% of the U boats crews never saw port again.

Thanks Neal!! I stumbled on this a few weeks ago and was very pleasantly surprised. I urge any droid users to grab this. I really don't think you will be dissapointed!

Thanks for the email and review. I'll definitely buy this one. In Kalbarri for a fishing holiday. I timed it with perfection for what the news call a 'once a year storm'. It's turned into a drinking holiday! At least now I have some time to play my new game :-)

This game has you running a nazi germany uboat right? No American or British subs?

Skybird · 09-08-14, 05:40 AM

Funny, when you did the review for Battle Fleet 2 some days ago I thought "He should do a review for Crash Dive". I almost offered you to do it myself, but then got distracted.

beresford · 09-08-14, 05:47 AM

Any chance of seeing a Windows or Xbox compatible version? My tablet runs Windows 8 and there is a shortage of strategy/sim games.

Interesting. Would be more interesting if it was a PC game (can't imagine playing anything other than the simplest arcade games on anything less than a 19" monitor ...I currently use a 23" and dreaming of a 32").

But thanks for the heads up.

I spotted this while trawling through Google play and it had good reviews so I bought it. I wasn't disappointed given that it's an android game. Great graphics and sound, missions and campaigns, great stuff. Think SH3 on Tablet.

That is the part I can't get past. I guess I'll always be a PC sim game guy.
Thank's for the heads up though. Good to hear from you.

Looks Interesting, Thanks for the E Mail Sub Sim.

I noticed a few people saying "I've PC shame I cant play".
Surely there is a Android "or whatever" virtual environment simulator.
If I can run a virtual machine on PC that runs Mac or Linux etc you must
be able to run these apps.

Maybe someone with a bit of knowhow can make a tut.

Keep well everyone, glad to see SubSim is still strong,
I haven't visited for a while.

PC - nothing that has Android, no phone nothing like that.
Maybe later it will be for PC's, till then back to SH4.
thanks for all the nice read and info on this game..

Satch · 09-06-14, 09:20 PM

graphics do look pretty good.

Is it available for a PC?

I was wondering the same thing, maybe there is an Android emulator for the PC somewhere...
