About the Game

Do you think well under pressure? How about 300 pounds per square inch of pressure?

Das Boot: German U-Boat Simulation provides an exact replica of submarine warfare during World War II. Originally published by Artech Digital Entertainment in 1990, Das Boot puts you in the command of a 1941-era Type VII U-Boat, deep under the icy waters of the Atlantic.

Attack Allied submarines and surface vessels rendered in full 3D graphics using an arsenal of torpedoes. Protect yourself from airborne enemies using the depth of the ocean. Decipher transmissions utilizing a code-cracking machine on board, to keep your enemies in the dark. Dodge depth charges or surface to ambush enemy ships with your deck guns. Three difficulty settings keep the challenge high even as your warfare skills increase.

As Captain, it is up to you to outmaneuver, outthink, and overpower your enemy combatants. Someone is sinking to the bottom of the ocean, and it better not be you.

Will you be victorious? Only if you can withstand the pressure.

  • Strategize to defeat Allied forces in sea, surface and air - all rendered in full 3D

  • Multiple missions available - taking you from the Strait of Gibraltar to the coastlines of Norway
