  • Steel Diver is well executed, but lacking in depth (which is ironic for a multitude of reasons). However, once you give it a fair shot, you'll be surprised how addictive the gameplay is and how much fun you’ll have trying to master the controls and con...

  • Abstract:  Steel Diver is a 3DS game that you'll either love or hate as it's not your traditional Nintendo style of game and borders more on realism as opposed to arcade cutesy fun. In essence, Steel Diver is a submarine simulator but throws in a few interesting...

  • Some addictive gameplay
  • Not enough levels, extremely frustrating at times, lacks polish
  • At heart, Steel Diver is an interesting game with a handful of strong ideas, but those ideas should have been developed over a longer and more polished campaign. Until you see it in a bargain bin, leave this one to sink....
