Do you consider yourself a lover of games that take place in historical situations such as World War II? Then you should know that, without a doubt, one of the best ones to deal with this theme is the so-called Danger from the Deep. If you have always fantasized about being part of this war, you will find a title that meets your expectations and that will surely drive you crazy.

Danger from the Deep is one of the many games that take advantage of the most crucial armed confrontation in the history of mankind, putting us in the shoes of the German admiral Karl Dönitz, one of the most outstanding personalities of World War II. From this place, we will have to be in charge of hunting the English cruisers that carried the submarines of the British troops.

How it works

You will have your ship to do it, and you will have to face all the difficulties that appear as this confrontation progresses, being in charge, for example, of torpedoing the enemy aircraft carriers that cross your lines. The problem is that you won't be able to hide in the waters of the Atlantic all the time, and that's why you'll have to evaluate very well when it's convenient to go on the attack and when to stay hidden.

Something that we liked a lot about this title is that even when it's relatively easy to get rid of the first enemy ships, we'll see that the difficulty curve increases little by little, and the first ships that come with escorts start to arrive. For this reason, you will learn in just a few minutes that you cannot relax after getting rid of the first enemies because behind them; others will probably arrive.

Your ability to develop combat strategies will be vital if you want your men to return home safe and sound. You will understand that some battles are better not to give them when the chances of prevailing are minimal. In any case, experience in the game will show you that there are various ships and weapons and that some will stay in certain circumstances.

Precisely, we didn't forget to mention that the significant number of selections of both ships and weapons is an identifying quality of this title since you'll be able to choose whether you want to travel in aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers, etc.

Another fascinating aspect of Danger from the Deep, which undoubtedly contributes to the realism that this title tries to offer, is that the simulation of days and nights is the same as the running of the days in real life. Thus, you'll see that moments of total tranquility are followed by others of permanent agitation and that, often, the ideal moment for attacks is at night.

On the other hand, the graphics in Danger from the Deep are outstanding, considering that the movements, as well as each of the elements, the ships, and the interaction between the parts, have a very high level of development. Everything related to the details of the game shows the enormous effort that its creators have put into it. Undoubtedly, visual aesthetics is one of the great reasons to recommend downloading it.

Keep in mind

Danger from the Deep is still under development, which means you could experience some instability at specific moments. However, in our experience, we have not almost gone through these situations; on the contrary, everything has been very smooth. On the other hand, although you will see that there are other language translations available, they might contain some bugs, so you shouldn't be surprised to see them.

The best part

Danger from the Deep has many positive features. However, if we had to focus on some of them, we would undoubtedly talk about the wide variety of elements we can select to customize our troops, such as ships or weaponry. On the other hand, its difficulty curve is perfect, so it is neither boring nor impossible to advance through each of the missions it puts in front of us.

The worst

Danger from the Deep has no weak points other than those we have pointed out above, related in any case to certain aspects in which it is noted that it is not a finished title, such as the translations or those moments of instability while we play. However, none of these issues tarnish its user experience.
