Subwar 2050 Complete is a futuristic submarine combat and simulation game originally developed by Particle Systems Ltd. and published by Interplay/MicroProse. Set in the year 2050, the oceans have become the next major warfare frontier, and you play as an independent mercenary pilot of advanced underwater vessels fighting for corporate interests across hostile deep‑sea environments.
This edition, often called Complete, includes the original Subwar 2050 along with its expansion The Plot Deepens, bringing multiple campaigns and missions in vast 3D underwater landscapes such as the Antarctic Ocean, North Atlantic, South China Sea, and Sea of Japan. You’ll command four different types of submarines, from reconnaissance and deep‑sea exploration subs to heavily armed fighter craft, engaging in tactical battles against enemy forces using torpedoes, sonar, and maneuvering skills.
Between missions, players can complete simulated combat training, master depth tactics, and explore the ocean floor in a semi‑realistic 3D environment that was groundbreaking for its time. Subwar 2050 Complete blends action, simulation, and strategy elements, making it a niche classic among submarine simulators that still holds nostalgic appeal for fans of retro naval combat games.
