70 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
In regards to the story, I found the characters to be enjoyable and the overall plot interesting, but they do leave a lot to be desired.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

One after another, we have a very good game, certainly nothing similar on the market today, the mechanics are still pretty good, the implementation feels nice.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
45 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
Despite it ́s age, you can choose high resolutions and the graphics are not too ugly and colourful.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
You can buy different ships, weapons and upgrades, which is a lot of fun.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
The combat itself is good, firing weapons feels satisfying, torpedos find their targets somewhat too rarely and the difficulty and length can vary greatly between missions, but overall the game manages to capture the vibe of submarine combat very well.
