Submarine Titans
In the year 2047, a massive comet ravages Earth’s surface and the remnants of mankind descend to the bottom of the ocean in order to survive. A century passes, and humans, resilient and enduring, slowly create new life in their cool blue underwater universe. But even in the still of the deep, one truth remains… where man goes, war soon follows. The craddle of civilization has spawned the seeds of man’s destruction and now all the oceans of the world are not big enough for the embattled civilizations of the power-hungry White Sharks, the technologically savvy Black Octopi and the alien Silicons. Deploy armies, research technologies, mine for resources and set in motion a plan to gain control of this spellbinding abyss or find the fate of civilization and mankind dead in the water.

Favorite game, even 24 years later. if you are into classic RTS games (starcraft, Warzone 2100, Red Alert) this is a great addition to the list. with the appropriate updates and fan made patches, it runs great in higher res screens and modern systems.

This is my first steam game review. It’s quite interesting real time strategy game. Every battle is under water and every unit is submarine. Submarine moving under the water just like space ship moving in the space which give you very unique feeling. The ambience music is quite good.

* The Steam version of the game when I bought it in 2021 allowed me to have Ver 1.0 and I was able to update it to Ver 1.1 using one of the guides and third party websites. I have since tried to play this game again in 2025 and now the game is reading Ver 0.0 and you cannot update it. The game runs perfectly on Win 10 albeit some screen resizing. I did not test if Ver 0.0 fixes know issues in 1.0, and instead purchased this game on another well-known vendor. That vendor gives you the game out of the gate at Ver 1.1. I wanted this to play the game on my native resolution with the help of a guide that is on Steam, which is why I did not continue playing the Ver 0.0 that I was offered.
Submarine Titans is a classic RTS. It is different than traditional RTS in the fact that your units are able to sit at one of five elevation levels and you are population capped by your own resources. I picked this game up for $5 in 2001 and fell instantly in love.
The visuals are really nice (for the time), the music is rocking, and it always feels great blowing up submarines. The game comes with 3 factions, the White Sharks, Black Octopi, and the Silicons. There are no good guys per se in the story so playing as any faction is a treat. The White Sharks and Black Octopi are rival factions that hate each other. The White Sharks have very traditional subs, lots of armor, lots of torpedoes. The Black Octopi went for the sci-fi route and equiped laser on most everything. The Silicons are an alien species that happen to crash on the planet during their interstellar travel. They wish to collect enough resources to get off our planet and go home.
The game plays very similar to other RTS of the era except there are no hero classes and no population limit out of the box (you can cap it in skirmish). The game has 4 resources. Metal is used in almost every thing you do. Corium is an element brought by the aliens and allows for some of the more exotic units. Gold is used for research. Air is required for buildings. Managing these resources isn't extensive, however, unlike traditional RTS where your resources are deducted when you click build unit, Submarine Titans allows you to build anything regardless of available resources. That means you can quickly need more mats than you are bringing in and all your production will come to a hault.
The Silicons use different resources and play unique compared to the human factions. They share the need for Corium, but also require Energy for research and Silicon for everything. Structure building is unique since they do not have a builder unit like the human factions.

Amazing game from childhood.
Classic story/gameplay for RTS from the past, sadly underrated (SC/Warcraft/Red Alert stole the show), yet solid.
3 factions, different units (REALLY DIFFERENT!), conflict for resources/ territory. Interesting elevation system for oceanic strat. There are only 2 cons:
- UI shortcuts are terribad, be prepared to click a lot with mouse,
- might need patch it to be playable on Win10/11.

Nostalgia. One of the best, unique and adoring RTS of it's time. The game of my childhood. I can't count how much time I spent playing it. I played it again not long ago and enjoyed it.
The game has three unique factions that are very well balanced. At the same time, the locations are very beautiful and atmospheric.
In 40 hours of playing the game, I only had two crashes.
Ultrawide(3440x1440): works through dgvoodoo2 but the image is stretched.

Amazing strategy game from a better age of pc playing. I love the factions, the overall design, the combat system. Great game! No need for reboot.
