What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

improvements and bug-fixes

Recurring themes

Ads negative
The most prevalent complaint is the overwhelming number of ads, which are often long, unskippable, and appear after almost every action or level. Players report spending more time watching ads than playing the game, and some purchases intended to remove ads do not work.R2R4R6R8
Glitches & Crashes negative
Many users report frequent glitches, game crashes, and bugs that lead to lost progress, rewards not being granted, or the inability to close ads. This contradicts the developer's vague 'bug-fixes' claim.R3R10R15R18
Repetitive Gameplay negative
Players note that the game becomes repetitive after a certain point, with the same battle scenarios and a lack of new content, leading to a loss of interest.R3R4R21R26
Difficulty & Pay-to-Win negative
The game's difficulty is perceived to increase sharply, making it hard to progress without spending money on upgrades or to skip ads. Some feel the game is rigged to force purchases.R5R12R13R70

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy casual submarine combat games and are willing to tolerate a very high volume of advertisements R1R17R83. It is not for players who expect an ad-free experience, consistent progress, or varied gameplay beyond the initial stages R4R23R27R35.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly regarding ads and bugs, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a significant decline in user experience over time, possibly due to increased ad monetization and unaddressed technical issues. The developer's update notes are too vague to assess if any specific issues were targeted.

  1. [R1] 5/5 · US Amazing game I love et ❤️: Love ❤️ game
  2. [R17] 5/5 · US Awesome: Absolute five stars I recommend playing it when you’re waiting for a haircut
  3. [R26] 5/5 · US The state of the game: This is an entertaining game that I have spent many hours playing The only criticism I have is the game doesn't really evolve after a certain point The enemy really becomes predictable and you can lose interest
  4. [R40] 5/5 · US Uboat Attack: Lots of fun 🤩
  5. [R7] 5/5 · US What happened to race for glory and sharpshooter games?: I loved the race for glory and sharpshooter games but they have been absent for about a week? I hate defend the fleet and will not play it. If the race and sharpshooter games don’t come back I will not be playing this game. 6/25/26 this is an update. This game has improved greatly. I can now avoid “defend the fleet” and continue playing. T
  6. [R83] 5/5 · US Boat attack is the BOMB 💣: Love the game very fun nice way too pass the time nice graphics upgrades are good buy new submarine but have too spend a little but all games are that way but worth downloading 👍👍👍👍👍
  7. [R2] 2/5 · US Eh. . .: WAY TOO MANY ADDS FOR ADVANCEMENTS
  8. [R4] 1/5 · US Ad free is a lie don’t waste your money: Gameplay is repetative and if there are that many ads in the first rounds it’s going to only get worse, purchasing ad free for $6 did nothing to diminish the ads. 0 stars would not recommend, scammy.
  9. [R6] 1/5 · US Too many ads: Too many ads
  10. [R8] 1/5 · US Not worth the time: You have to go through so many adds before you can even start the game. It’d be a fun game to play if you could actually PLAY!!
  11. [R133] 3/5 · US Great game, but ads didn’t go away after purchase: I really enjoy this game - it’s fun and well-made. However, I made an in-app purchase because it says any purchase removes ads, but they’re still showing. I restarted, reinstalled, and logged back in, but nothing changed. I like the game and want to support it, but this feels misleading. Please fix this issue or clarify how to remove the ads.
  12. [R3] 4/5 · US Long time player: It’s a pretty good app with over 8500 wins but the game has glitches and won’t let you watch the video as payment quite a bit lately and can get repetitive on the number of scenarios that you can play
  13. [R10] 3/5 · US Fix the Ads: Have been playing this game for quite a while and yes, though rewards have changed and the ads become more frequent and longer I’m willing to put up with that in order to play for free. What’s happening now is ads that run do not end or are framed in a way that you’re unable to find the X logo to close the ad. You can’t rotate the game as it plays in landscape so the only option is t
  14. [R15] 1/5 · US Waste of time: Points disappear, ridiculous Amount of ads, ads don’t even run right and crash the game..don’t waste time with this one.
  15. [R18] 1/5 · US full of bugs: good game, just full of bugs. some of the in game activities don’t work
  16. [R21] 2/5 · US Decent game.: It’s a ok game. At 1st it’s a pretty fun game however it goes down hill fast. Lots of ads. And you play the same levels over and over. It’d be nice for some updates to play new content.
  17. [R5] 2/5 · US Level 24 6: When I get to this level, this game became no fun hard to win at that level. No chance too many people shooting at you. Don’t waste the time downloading this game. You’ll get frustrated. Can’t dive your submarine to get out of trouble.
  18. [R12] 1/5 · US H39: H39 takes too much time and Shards. 500 coal for each shards is crazy. Can you make this suspendable for each player? It makes this boring and I may find another game that’s more enjoyable because of this one seriously 500,000 Coal to get from 60 to 80!
  19. [R13] 1/5 · US Be prepared to watch a lot of advertisements: So many ads. You can stop some of them by making a purchase, but if you want to be successful in this game you better have a fat wallet!
  20. [R70] 3/5 · US Rigged: As soon as u start doing well they make it impossible for you to get any further. Not worth your time. Has to be one of most RIGGED game I have ever tried to play. You not get any further then they want you to. Many, many reviews that say the same thing. If you have time to waste play this game because you will be wasting a lot of time.
  21. [R36] 1/5 · US RIP off: Uboat attack is a rip off takes you’re money all the time among other things it constantly lowers your achievements spending money for nothing don’t spend money on this game people I already deleted
  22. [R100] 5/5 · US Das boot ;: Pretty good game, however, if you don’t want to spend your own money, you have to watch ads so that you can get more money and purchase more. Torpedoes like all games it’s a money making game cause nothing is free. and this game you need Wi-Fi. In order to play where I can think of some games that don’t require Wi-Fi. This is only required if you’re purchasing something.
  23. [R307] 3/5 · GB Great game, but does it really need wifi?!: I’ve been enjoying this game for a long time, but I’ve always thought it’s so stupid how it needs wifi, it’s obviously not an online game.
  24. [R16] 1/5 · US Too many ads: In one hour I played a total of 10 minutes and watched 50 minutes of ads.
  25. [R23] 1/5 · US Ads, ads,ads: Don't download! There are more ads than game play! Everything leads to ads!
  26. [R27] 1/5 · US Deleted my profile: The game just randomly deleted my profile after spending a couple weeks. Working my butt off getting ships leveled up. Complete waste of time, garbage game.
  27. [R35] 1/5 · US Constantly having to start over: Every time I make substantial progress the game resets to level 1, first battle. I played the first time until I was a rear admiral, went to bed, next day I had lost all progress and had to begin again. This happened twice and I deleted the game, too much effort to constantly restart.
