Sub-lime idea, sub-par content
For those who aren't aware, Steel Diver began life as a demo for Nintendo DS and almost became a full game before being moved over to the 3DS. Combining simulation aspects of submarine driving with arcade-style action elements, the game is one of the more impressive demonstrations of the system's 3D and hardware...
About The Game
Steel Diver is a new action-packed submarine combat game from Nintendo that immerses players in the 3D action with unique game controls and lush 3D environments.
The player can choose from three different submarines, each with touch-screen control panels that players will have to master to guide them through treacherous undersea caverns while engaging enemy submarines, dodging depth charges and battling massive sea creatures. Steel Diver also takes advantage of the built-in gyroscope of the Nintendo 3DS system. The combination of 3D game play and one-of-a-kind controls makes for an immersive combination that must be experienced to be believed.
FEATURES:
Use touch-screen controls to guide submarines through lush, undersea 3D environments.
Branching paths, split-second decisions and attacks from enemy ships make for a thrilling undersea adventure.
Multiple ways to play
Missions: Players manipulate control panels on the touch screen to control the sub’s speed, depth and pitch, and to fire torpedoes as they make their way toward the end of each level. If the sub takes damage and starts taking on water, players can use the stylus on the touch screen to stop the leak. There is also a time attack mode that challenges the player to get through levels as quickly as possible.
Periscope Strike: The gyroscope for the Nintendo 3DS system allows players to control the periscope view by rotating their bodies. Players use the touch screen to fire a well-placed torpedo and take enemies out.
Steel Commander: In this two-player strategy mode, a local wireless connection pits player against player. The game is a top-down, turn-based “chess-like” game that puts players in command of a fleet of ships and a sub. Once players locate a ship, they enter Periscope Mode and blast it out of the water.
Immersive undersea graphics
The 3D in Steel Diver makes players feel like they are peering into an aquarium, with the action unfolding right before their eyes.

This looks interesting.
ive heard good things from people who tried the demo...
Is this the definition of a hardcore game?
Fun Fact: This game was originally a DS tech demo from over 5 years ago!
its like, pwuesshhh
you dont see alot of submarine gamse these days or any good looking for that matter but this one looks promising
How the 3D effect work?
If you can have a first-person view through the submarines scope or whatever, it will be tight.
I think this game could be good but I really wish they'd make everything at least somewhat proportionally accurate rather than the subs looking like toys in a bath tub or something.
I'll take my submarine and use it to sink your battleship any day
I believe I will be getting Steel Driver on launch day instead of Pilotwings, as there seems to be more depth (pun intended) involved in this game.
Steel Divers looks like it could be interesting.
I'm waiting for a review but i'm hoping this gets at least a 8/10. I really want it.
Really good game but there's almost nothing to it.
IT SUCKS DONT BY IT ONLY 7 LEVELS T_T
Weird that Nintendo has not released this one in the eShop at all and it's 2,5 years since the release already.
Oh well, next spring we will get the f2p Steel Diver.
steeldiver sub wars is promising
