About Cold Waters
Command a nuclear submarine through realistic Cold War naval combat, making split-second tactical decisions on whether to strike silently or risk detection with long-range firepower. Intercept convoys and enemy task forces using period-authentic weapons and sonar while managing the constant threat of enemy subs and aircraft in a dynamic campaign where every decision impacts the outcome.
Inspired by the 1988 classic “Red Storm Rising”, command a nuclear submarine in a desperate attempt to prevent “mutually assured destruction” when the Cold War gets hot and WWIII begins.
You will be tasked with intercepting convoys, amphibious landings, insertion missions and battling it out with enemy warships, submarines and aircraft. Thankfully, an arsenal of wire-guided torpedoes, anti-ship and cruise missiles and the occasional SEAL team are on board to keep the Iron Curtain at bay.
Major Features:
- Real-time naval combat
- Over 40 classes of ships and submarines all meticulously researched
- Dynamic Campaign where your performance matters
- Realistic sonar model
- Authentic Soviet combat tactics

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Cold Waters is a submarine simulator that players appreciate for its ambitious scope and tactical depth, but it is significantly hampered by broken AI detection mechanics where enemy surface ships unrealistically detect submarines regardless of depth, sonar conditions, or stealth positioning. The imbalanced surface combat encounters—particularly carrier task force missions—frequently end promising campaigns, forcing players to avoid entire mission types to progress, and many feel the game requires community mods to approach anything resembling realistic naval warfare.
Running silent below thermocline at 15K yds range with all three sonar readings from my surface contact negative (-30,-50,-20} and he still launches missiles and changes course directly for me. The manual says that can't happen. So, why does it happen every single time? What a shameful waste of a good prospect.1 found this helpful
I love this game, but the Surface ships are horribly unbalanced. I have had multiple very successful campaign runs come to a screeching end because of the dreaded "Carrier Task Force" mission. The only way to enjoy the game is to completely ignore any mission that has surface ships. Unfortunately you can't usually win the campaign by doing that.1 found this helpful
I love being instantaneously detected at whatever depth I meet the enemy! 0/10 This game is proof Down Under cannot and should not make video games, especially DOS remakes. At least in Red Storm Rising you could forgive the enemies for detecting the general location of you because its a 1986 game. This is from our time, and not only does it have more bells and whistles, but its so focused on bells and whistles that it straight up amplifies RSR's faults (instant-detect AI). Want to creep up on a convoy? Nope, they'll find you, even if it's a rusty Kashin destroyer and his five even rustier merchantmen churning the water louder than a Flint Michigan pipeline. Kamikaze attack? Nope, you'll not spot them and they'll see you in perfect clarity (this makes slightly more sense). So what's the point of being a submarine in a submarine game if everyone can see me and know where I am to begin with the moment I take a breath? Blacklisted the devs, This is the Taylor Swift of military simulation games and I sincerely pray with all gods, beliefs, creeds, faiths and dreams of anyone in the world that Killerfish Games goes bankrupt for wasting my early afternoon.
The game requies DotMod to make it a bit more realistic but it's a fun military simulator.

Not really the best game for cold-war naval warfare, but the epic mod fills the gap. The game needs better graphics remaster and a better firing system mechanics and an oversimplified mode in the settings so players of disability can manage playing the game without difficulites
