Topic: Steel Diver

I think that I have decided to purchase Steel Diver sometime later in December or early next year. It looks really fun and intriguing. Who has Steel Diver? What do you think?

Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

i highly recommend you to do not buy steeldiver there are much better games than steeldiver. in the begin it looks fun and then after 10 minutes the game is over...

I rented it when it came out. The periscope mode was kinda fun, but I found the rest of the game to be pretty bland, and as others have said, it's really short.

I don't know what your budget is, but both Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, & Dead or Alive Dimensions can be easily found now for $20 or less, and would be much better purchases, IMO.

I got it for $5.

It's only short if you blast though. Completionists will have a much better time.

I always wanted to get it(mainly for that 3D boxart),but I never did get it.
I heard it was a okay game,but it's very short and samey,if you can find it under a tenner,I'd get it.

I once found it used for 3 bucks in a gamerush store.... Then I visited another game store and they had it for 30 lol

There are better 3DS games, like KIU and MK7. However, it's a decent game, I beat it, but haven't beaten the Expert mode or gotten all the decals. If you can find it cheap... maybe.

Nintendo should seriously consider releasing it on the eShop...

It's not awesome, but it's pretty good when you get into it. If you can get it for $10 or so, I'd recommend getting it.

Except the way they work, they'll charge $40 just to get max profit off of a few suckers.

Steel Diver has only a small amount of content that will probebly last you 7 hours at the very most. The multiplayer is also fun for a short amount of time

Thanks everyone! I think that I will probably purchase it sometime soon.

Aw damn, that's true. I forgot about the price issues.

I personally was not a fan of Steel Diver. It was short on content, and even then the game wasn't that fun for me. Most eShop games have more content than this game. I got it for $5, and there is no way I'd pay more for it.

There are much better games on the system, in my opinion.

I love it and got it for 10€. I am very happy!

Soo.... Free to play huh? All right. Well, see ya later.

I guess this is Nintendo's answer to World of Tanks. I have the 3DS cart but I could see myself playing a Wii U version for online. Maybe.

reviving this old thread thanks to the search feature

i got this game today for 10€. i love steel diver sub wars so i thought why not try the prequel?
so far i think the controls are not very good. it is 100% touchscreen controls. i don't get why. obviously the developers learned that button controlls would work better so the implemented them in the sequel. the controls make the game way harder than it is. i also do not like that your submarine is in the middle of the camera. it should be a bit on the left site so you can actually see what is coming in front of you. i mean the game is a sidescroller in the end.
i tried the battleship mode once without looking into the game manual first because i thought it would be the normal battleship game. but it is not so i had no idea what happened on the battlefield
i have not tried the periscope mode yet, because it is gyrosensors only and i already hate the bonus stages in the other modes.

Yeah, I bought this for $5 like a year and a half ago, and only tried it out a couple of weeks ago. I've enjoyed it. Since I've spent so many hours on Sub Wars, one fun thing about this game is all the sounds and visuals that were carried over to that game from this one. It's cool to see where they all started.

I agree about the controls. They are unnecessarily difficult. Once I got the hang of them it was fun. I actually need to go back to it because I only sat down and played it that one time.

Same experience with the "board game". I had no idea what was going on and just bailed. I'll read the manual and figure that one out.

Agreed. Get this game for no more than $5 now-a-days. It isn't worth that much, but it is fun for a short while.

@Klimbatize yeah i love that sounds, visuals and music are all the same
