From the Depths is a super deep naval warfare game with a long campaign.
The learning curve is very steep since you build your ship from scratch but seeing your baby blast the hell out of the enemy is truly satisfying.
You can also build airships, airplanes and even tanks.
Definitely another good game! You can spend so much time to get the missile or shell *just* right for the target that you're facing. The survival mode was also a lot of fun :)
Great suggestion! I love watching playthroughs of that game from a certain TH-camr.
I like the depth of the game and it's mechanics. But it makes my eyes bleed looking at it or I'd play it more.
I enjoyed the building possibilities of FtD, but I wished the engagement distances were longer and the battles slower.
@@Clefairy4007 You talking about Lathland, or Martin?
Gotta say War on the Sea has been incredible and eaten up a large part of my free time playing. The campaigns have been a blast and there's a ton of value with mods.
Yep I just took another look at that. I am just wondering where are the mods sourced from. I did not see a Steam Workshop?
@@Jules_Diplopiasteam forums
@Jules_Diplopia sometimes in the community tab or nexus
Sad its so expensive and literally abandoned by the devs
@@Mac_Polen it's 75% off right now
Very nicely produced. Love the extra info in the "Show more" section including time stamps and chapters. Very professional!
Much appreciated!
UBOAT is a great game and actually is an underrated gem. The unstable beta branch (of the early access overall, very close to full release) is regularly adding many fixes and features the community wants, and is active with the community. I honestly think it will be among one of the best sub sims we will get, especially for a unmodded vanilla game, at launch. Even in early access there have been a ton of mods and it seems the devs support it. And if you don't like early access they have a deadline they are fast approaching for the full 1.0 release. Also it has a decent tutorial and lots of options to go from full "I do it all myself" realism to more casual play letting your crew do calculations and work as you manage the overall picture.
"unstable beta branch" is more stable than most of the 1.0 releases nowadays.
Battlestations Midway is a good choice, but I would rather recommend Battlestations Pacific. The setup might be a bit tricky because it uses games for Windows Live but when you have it working it is such a blast to play the US and IJN Campaign and get all missions golded and receive new units. The various Missions and game modes it has are also a lot of fun against the AI. Additionally there are quite a mods which are quite nice.
The Battlestations Pacific mission was definitely a favorite of mine. Spent many attempts trying to maximize the damage output on my torpedoes :)
I prefer Battlestations: Pacific so much more. Unfortunately you can’t get it on PC anymore
@@sirboomsalot4902 You can still get Battlestations: Pacific through the BATTLESTATIONS COLLECTION on Humble Bundle
UBoat is absolutely brilliant, and that's probably the final chance to get it on a discount before the 1.0 patch drops in.
What naval games are you picking up this summer sale? Let me know :)
snatched UBoat a couple of days ago. had my eyes on it for a long time
Rule the waves 3
@@mpr6486same
Edit: like ultimate admiral but, imo, a more fun experience
Highfleet, if that counts. One of the few games that has aam capable of intercepting missiles.
I picked up the game "War on the Sea" for $10 US. You may even be interested in it
FTL: Faster Than Light.
Spaceship game. $2.49
The sequel to Cold Waters should be out soon. It's called Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age. If you want to practice the controls and functions prior to its release I recommend Cold Waters. I have over 600 hrs in this game and don't regret a minute of it.
I HOPE Sea Power comes soon I want it so so bad
It's not a sequel to Cold Waters. That would imply it's another sub sim and sub sim only. Sea Power is going to be closer to old Janes Fleet Command where you can control all naval assets, not just attack subs.
@@stab74 It is a sub sim too. They just added sea and air assets. They even touted it as its sequel. But then I guess you know better than the developers what it is.
@@gutstompenrocker You don't know what a sequel is then. If anything, it's a sequel to Janes Fleet Command or Harpoon. How you can't see the difference between a DEDICATED SUB SIM where you can only control ONE sub and real time strategic simulator where you can control whole fleets and several different unit types is beyond me. But, I guess you know better than everyone else on the planet who's been playing wargames for 40 years, and, who knows what the word "sequel" means.
One thing missing: Rule The Waves 3 !! Its currently at 35% off and ultimate admiral kinda took the core idea oif this game, stripped down a lot of aspects and then put 3D. But dont be afraid of the visuals of RtW3, its an amazing game with such depth that you can get lost in it deisgning ships and organizing your force.
Yeah, but ultimate admiral is pretty broken.
Rule the waves is in much more depth.
Rule the Waves 3 is a great game, provides a wide range of periods from 1895 to the 1960s allowing you to go from predreadnoughts through to missile boats and jet fighters. I'd say it trades graphics for gameplay when compared to ultimate admiral.
I always liked Naval Ops Commander on the PS2. It broke the mold and did something different.
Ah, Stormworks.
Hey Stealth, go try one of mine. I suggest the V-11C Angel Finch. You'll have fun.
Nebulous: Fleet Command is worth a mention as well. It's set in space, but it plays just like a 3D naval game. It has customisable ships and fleets with systems that are familiar to players of other sim games (C3, EW, missiles and missile defense, etc.)
600+ hours in, Nebulous is amazing
I already have UAD, and it's a lot of fun. UBOAT looks good, so I might check that out at some point.
Been playing Uboat a lot again since beta dropped. Tons of fun, highly recommend
I got both battlestations about 7-8 years for Xbox360, i decided to replay them on my Xbox Series X and Im proud to say it's still fun as hell.
im glad people still remember battlestations midway!
Atlantic fleet is also a very great naval Game, tho it is more like a round based pve game
Out of all these, command modern operations is by far the best. I have 1100 hours on it, and unlike 99% of these, it actually teaches you real life warfare, and even the military uses it.
It seems really complicated, but I think it’d be cool to watch someone else play it
Naval Art is getting their carrier update soon so should be fun!
I will love to see you play cold waters
Good news then - th-cam.com/video/UIcDrHEHAHI/w-d-xo.html
Barotrauma is now on sale for about 14.49 US dollars and 17.49 EURO that is -50% off from it's standard price.
Personaly I love this game, you take on lead of submarine on Europe (one of Jupiter's moon) and you fight various monsters in the depths.
You play as one of crew members on that submarine captain, engineer, electrician, doctor or security officer on one of many, many submarines you can find in that game or in steam workshop.
Of course you can play with friends, randoms or bots up to I believe 16 players, game is really fun to play and I strongly reccomend it to try, even through it's not standard naval game as games mentioned in this video.
I never thanked you for introducing me to Starsector a few months ago. You should try another play through, but just the main quest, and not make it a tutorial series. Thank you for the introduction to it!
Glad you like it! I won't do any videos on Starsector anymore.
CMANO is used by the naval war college to war game.
Yes but they use a classified database for it which is a bit different from what we have in CMANO now
@@liquidgoose1518 Hey not everyone can be War Thunder and have classified data just thrown at them regularly. LOL!
Another pretty interesting game for those who enjoy ultimate admiral dreadnoughts is rules the waves 3. Despite the extremely minimalistic interface and the excel style, the game is extremely deep and interesting
Carrier command 2 puts you in control of an aircraft carrier commanding drone planes and amphibious vehicles to combat an enemy ai carrier or your friends carrier and you capture islands to unlock new parts and ammunition. You can play with up to 16 other people all on one carrier or multiple
Playing a bit Victory at Sea Atlantic. Even if it is in early access you can have fun with it and they just released the Axis campaign, so seeing what is new :D
Bringing up UBOAT but not the counter, Destroyer :) also missing RTW and FtD
Very disappointed in Destroyer. The game has not been updated, no bug fixes or anything.
RtW and FtD are definitely interesting titles. I initially had 22 titles lined up, but that would make for quite a long video.
What's RtW? I don't recognize the abbreviation
@@dominiklehn2866 Rule the Waves
@@Stealth17Gaming oh thank you. Yeah, that's a good one too though I personally haven't played it yet
Seeing BattleStations Midway in a 2024 video really surprised me.
Though i never played midway i loved the hell out of its successor (Battlestations pacific)
It's definitely one of my top five favorite games and imo super underrated.
I highly recommend it though square Enix (or Microsoft i dont remember) took it outback and shot it with the 12 gauge so you cant get it on steam anymore(or at all on pc idk), but i still get on my xbox to play from time to time
Actually, you nailed 'em all. Unfortunatly i' m not among the PC master race at the moment...
thanks
On my first campaign of Cold waters. Right at the end of the easier campaign i got the final enemy to shoot and sink itself with a decoy torpedo. It was Hilarious
Currently downloading battle stations pacific right now as I’m watching this video 😂
battlestations:Pacific is no longer on steam sadly but i did see a note form the dev team that says "Square Enix has temporarily removed this title from sale to work on some important updates. Please check back soon!" im not sure if they will bring it back cause i do know the only downside to it currently was "windows with gold" witch is no longer around sooo i do hope they bring it back cause ill love to play it again with friends and conduct nice PVP or PVE fun!!!!
Battle station pacific isn’t purchasable anymore if I recall
I hate how war on the sea kicks you in the balls and gives the AI so many advantages when you can have so few ships at times but its overall really fun and i sunk way too many hours into that, definitely a game worth atleast a honorable mention
U-boat is a fun game
Wolfpack. Second World War Uboat simulator. Getting a torpedo to hit a target is a major accomplishment as it requires substantial effort and possibly a calculator or pencil and paper. Where it stands out from Cold Waters is the player controls a character and has to learn the actual controls. In short Wolfpack is DCS:Uboat.
Dude, you left out Sailwind, a great marintime navigation simulator with survival elements! This game really deserves some attention!
He didn't leave it out since Sailwind is not a naval game, and that's the title of the vid. Maritime game yes, naval game, nope.
You could add Rule the Waves 3 to this list.
Yes you could.
will you do more u-boat videos
sure wish the Naval Ops series was on steam
The inclusion of Command Modern Operations should mention that the small 3d window is a paid 3rd party add on, Tacview. The vanilla game does not include any such viewing option, since it's really a map based milsim, a version of which was used by the US to game out a possible US-Chinese conflict over Taiwan. DCS players will already be familiar with Tacview, regular Joe Gamer may not.
That's a very good addition. I didn't know that. Thank you for letting me know.
@@Stealth17Gaming You can buy Tacview Advanced in a bundle with CMO, and it's also in the sale.
Battle Stations: Pacific Is not purchasable and will not work, the devs have shut it down entirely.
However, battle stations: Midway still works just fine.
we need a new battlestations game
I feel like Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter should be on this list... It is a great game as well and currently it is 40%
Battlestations Pacific should be noted as having been pulled off of Steam "Temporarily" by Square Enix for "improvements" what improvements would be worth on a such a old title is debatable but it should be at least noted.
Where do you buy Battlestations? It appears to be unavailable on Steam. Excellent video BTW.
Whilst it is unavailable on steam I believe it might still be available on consoles. I can't confirm this though since I already own it.
I can see it on steam. Battlestations: Midway for 0,97€ instead of 6,99€. Maybe it's not available in all regions? But this video was about the Steam Summer Sale, so I think it wasn't referring to any console versions.
@@Coldeagle27 I assume they are asking about the battlestations pacific which you can look at but it's unavailable where as midway is available, hence my response about pacific probably still being available on console.
Battlestations Pacific is not available right now
Don't know if Wolfpack is on sale, but I've been playing it for a while now
Battlestations Midway I don’t know if it works on pc, I have Battlestations Pacific on Steam and it doesn’t work, and there is no way to fix it.
I like most of the games you have shown to us in this video. But to be honest, I miss one big game (well, for me it is a big game, because I love it 😉). Where is "War on the sea"?
Because I had to stop somewhere. Including War on the Sea would then have people ask "Where's From the Depths?". The next is going to ask "Where is Rule the Waves?". The next is "Where is Atlantic Fleet?". With that level of scope creep I'd have a 60 minute video describing every naval game out there.
@@Stealth17Gaming Well... I wouldn't mind :-P
But of cours, with a more serious look on it, I see and understand the problem. Thank you for your answer.
Hmmm... maybe next time you try to make a video with 17 Naval Games... :-D
@@Stealth17Gaming Well... Where *is* From the Depths? 😝
Silent Hunter 3 and 4 with mods are very good.
Carrier Command 2 is definitely missing in this list
Any thoughts on Rule the Waves 3? I'm interested to buy it but kinda hesitant as it seems to be very complex 😅
Personally I didn't like it. Other people love it and swear by it.
@@Stealth17Gaming Yep, the game not suitable for me 😁. I just buy it from the steam and after 16 minutes fiddling here and there, I decided to refund it. How about Command Modern Operation? Is it more complex than the Rule the Waves 3?
@@midgarstrife914 It's different. Same type of strategic view. No own building of ships as far as I know. You could get it, try it and refund if don't like it
Boat games! Boat games! Boat games!
If I'm starting out learning from scratch, would you recommend UAD? I've been watching you play it for a long time, and finally have a computer that can run it.
Yeah I think that at this price point UAD is worth it
@@Stealth17Gaming thanks stealth. I trust your perspective and knowledge of the state of the game. Cheers
Would love a search and rescue game but without the building aspect.
I don't know of any other naval SAR games out there. I'd love one
@@Stealth17Gaming As far as I know there aren't any and it's a shame really. I know it's a niche idea and in all likelihood you'd have to incorporate it into a wider sim to draw interest.
Off of the top of my head it would probably have to be staged in a relatively large open world map covering a coastal area. I imagine it would then need to incorporate coast guard along with other emergency services and perhaps even it to other areas such as logistics.
@@FreeFragUK Sounds like you're describing the missions that Stormworks has. It tends to be a lot of fetch quests in Stormworks though - go here, pick up people, come back.
Its sooo hearth broking me when i ve UAD but cant play the campaign still dont know whats the problem:(
Where is BS pacific? ll it be available again?
And what about War on the sea that game looks great too commanding entire fleets but cant design the ships there yes?
Sadly can't buy the better Battlestations Pacific on Steam anymore. Publisher took it down for sale although I'm hopeful it's to actually fix some parts of it due to the message on the page.
Otherwise some solid recommendations, shame I own 3 out of 7 already lol
The one in the video is Midway, which came before Pacific.
"War on the Sea"
Just bought Battlestations Midway wich is fun to play. There are some nice mods to.
But i want to buy Battlestations Pacific to. Wich is not availble on the market....
Rule the waves
Battlestations Midway requires a lot of work around to get over the dead xbox live services
Battlestations midway and battleststions pacific are awesome games. Sadly i never got the dlcs for pacific. Was only for xbox or because Microsoft live or what it was called for pc was closed -.- . Want the maps and the yamato with 510mm guns xhwzurjrhdakjsdufs
I’d sacrifice a finger for a new battle stations bro
just got War on the Sea 70% off
Will Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnaught ever add carriers/aircraft?
I don't believe they will, no.
@@Stealth17Gaming ☹️
The game was expressly created to indulge in big gun naval warfare
Dredge is kind of a naval game.
War on the Sea 75% off
Didn't even have Rule the Waves 3 on here? Sad
Had to draw the line somewhere.
Man if only BS:M could be replaced by BS:P Pacific is so much better, sadly it went off sale
No rule the waves...shame people are so thrown off by a lack of graphics to one of the best.
It's not that I like or dislike the game, but I had to stop adding games to the video somewhere.
pacific is no longer with us; enix had it removed from steam
Oh that's unfortunate. Thanks for letting me know.
@@Stealth17Gaming tbf, it can be procured as cd-key for steam from private sellers, however that's a chance-game of it's own flavour
one of these games have Kaga in it.
Ah god, Battlestations Midway, however huge of a cardinal sin it was to list Kaga as an "Akagi-class", ugh, it's just.......ah....god........even thinking about that is awful. Ugh.
It is still, the only game that has Kaga in it.
(Battleship Kaga doesn't count, Stormworks can't run a ship as big as her, Wargaming nerfed her 200mm cannons to the ground, which I'll never forgive them for, and War Thunder does not have Kaga....yet.....but if things go the way they are going, we will have the Su-57 before the Bismarck......From the Depths....I guess that may also have Kaga. Anyways, the cardinal sin of most games either not having carriers, or only having US Carriers is.........annoying.)
Naval action wasn't mentioned???? wtf
I had to stop adding games before it turned into an hour long video
I personally can't recommend folks to buy Stormworks due to the poor net code for multiplayer, the lacklustre content updates, the over priced and poorly expanded upon DLC and the frustrating mechanic of the game at times such as aircraft and tank tread based vehicles. Whilst it has arguably the best editor for detailed crafts and the micro controller editor is not only its best technical feature but also the best when it comes to similar customizable vehicle function interactions, this game is very much a case of harsh learning curves, one time satisfaction projects and battling its confusing physics engine. If you do enjoy games like this then by all means enjoy it but after enduring over 1000 hours of playing this game, I can't recommend it to casual fans who enjoy games where you make your own custom vehicle for whatever purpose and play it, mostly in part due to the developers being effective amateurs in how they operate and provide content from ignoring community complaints and feedback, clearly not tested new updates or "Major updates" that don't function properly and minimal updates providing only a few fixes over a 2 week span.
Back when I played it I did notice the major updates having gamebreaking issues with them. I really loved Stormworks. Played it a lot. When they started adding weapons I felt the game betrayed its core of search and rescue. If it were up to me I would have loved if the devs stuck to that core and made more missions, more scenarios and a smoother multiplayer experience. Being able to build bigger craft and helicopters is great, but you can't really do everything alone.
@@Stealth17Gaming Honestly I was fine with them adding weapons since a lot of the community are young folks who enjoy playing about with workshop stuff or enjoy blowing stuff up compared to the other half of the community either being techno wizards and making insanely functional stuff or people who are really good at modelling in game.
My biggest gripe though is the lack of replay value, beyond micro controllers and lua, a lot of the mechanics have very little depth to them, a lot of variety to explore different mechanics that partly meld together but very little depth to them in terms of exploration and optimization of design, making the complexity of the game not very rewarding after trying to learn it compared to say something like From the Depths.
Personally the game is a great game to model stuff in high detail and if you can get it to work, even better and Microcontrollers are fun and a encouraging way to learn Lua, logic gates and to a degree, simple computer architecture, however the poor communication from the developers, lack luster updates, disappointing DLC that never gets touched on again, "Major updates" being broken on launch and overall, a very frustrating game at times to work with and enjoy, is why I don't recommend the game for people enjoy sandbox vehicle editors.
Also nice to hear from you man, been loving your content for ages.
I got Uboat for 10 bucks and i feel like i ripped off the devs and that's knowing the publisher is Playway... I never did get into sh3 due to its harsh save system and EAs hissyfit taking its games off steam, but I have put in a few hours in Dangerous Waters. I felt cold waters a bit flat and simplistic. Being able to take my uboat in... uboat, anywhere and do an acoustic check or even tune in a (admittedly repetitive) radio station. Makes it feel like i'm really in command of a vessel. Feels legit when I sniff out a target and do my own TMA to determine course and then ambush them. I did need youtuber Lite_ly salted's newer video on angle on bow to figure out the targeting direction tool was a toggle and that I was figuring out ownship angle relative to Target Ships Perspective - A tad counter intuitive but probably how it worked.) The cargo management adds a aspect often overlooked in games - since the age of sail a ships travel distance was limited to what it could carry. I got War on the Sea after seeing another friend who loves ships with 124 hours in it.
None of these games can hold a candle to Naval Ops games sadly

From the deep’s !!!!!
