Author: Manu - Published: 8 March 2023, 3:16 pm

Subwar 2050 is a sci-fi submarine simulation game developed by Particle Systems and released in 1994 for the PC and Amiga CD32 platforms. The game is set in the year 2050, where a war between the United States and the Soviet Union has escalated into a global conflict that has forced both sides to take their battle to the depths of the ocean.

In this game designed by Michael Powell, players take on the role of a submarine captain, leading a crew of skilled sailors on a series of missions across the ocean floor. These missions involve tasks such as reconnaissance, sabotage, and combat against enemy submarines and other sea-based threats. That's why the subtitle was The Underwater Combat Simulation.
