Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.2/day in the week to Jul 20 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Originally released in December 1996, this classic has stood the test of time. Set amidst the icy waters of the Norwegian Sea, you stand vigilant, guarding the coastline as you meticulously plan a large-scale naval assault against your foes. Suddenly, your sensors detect a hidden submarine 60° to port and an enemy fleet 92° to starboard. With the belief that offense is the best defense, you make the bold decision to strike first. Armed with a vast arsenal of over 100 high-powered weapons, you embark on a mission to annihilate everything that stands in your path to total domination of the seas.

To this day, this remains an amazing game. I love the complexity and realism. Fortunately there are onboarding scenarios to let you learn the game easily, but the manual, which is attached as a PDF, is an extremely interesting read in its own right, not just because it gives you a better insight into the complexity of the game, but also because it contains lots of interesting information about cold war-era naval technology. The game installs and runs without problems. I did not encounter any of the glitches that some reviewers mentioned. Just make sure to set Autosave to save the game every few minutes - I did have one instance of the game crashing as I was nearing the end of the scenario.
大昔のゲームのベタ移植です。CPUがアホなのは俺tueeeできるからいいとして、敵艦が陸地を航行したり兵装の対地対艦の区別が判りにくかったり一部のシナリオで勝利条件が不明瞭だったりとかも当時のまま。またwin11ではエディターが起動しませんでした。 しかしHarpoonは最高だ

Old school, but extremely realistic depiction of modern naval combat. I suggest using NotebookLM, with the PDF rules loaded up to help you quickly learn how to operate the game. It feels very clunky if you aren't use to the older interfaces, but is totally worth the experience if you want a simulation and not just eye candy.
Jest to odświeżona w 1997 wersja pierwszego Harpoona. Jej zalety? Ładniejsza grafika względem oryginału, bardzo duża baza scenariuszy (zebrane do kupy wszystkie pakiety) i czytelniejsze, wygodniejsze w obsłudze menu. Dzisiaj, w 2025, gra naturalnie wygląda ubogo, gdy porównamy ją z CMO, Fleet Command czy Sea Power, ale... jest od tych gier wyraźnie prostsza w obsłudze, ma niższy próg wejścia i po 1-2 rozgrywkach dość łatwo można skumać co i jak. W tamtych grach zajmuje to o wiele więcej czasu. Ma wielką ilość scenariuszy, jedyne CMO ma tego wyraźnie więcej. Wersja Steam śmiga mi bez problemów. Wady? W zasadzie dwie. Pierwsza to brak edytora, naprawdę dużo by dała możliwość samodzielnego tworzenia scenariuszy i wrzucania ich na Steam, bo tym Harpoon żył przez te 35 lat. Druga to fakt, że przez lata można było kupić za grosze pakiet wszystkich klasycznych Harpoonów, w tym i tego, a dzisiaj, wraz z pojawieniem się H97 na Steam, ten pakiet już zniknął. Tak czy owak, to kawał solidnego i dobrze zrobionego symulatora walki morsko-powietrznej obejmującego okres do mniej więcej połowy lat 90. Graficznie minimalistyczny, ale z bogatą bazą danych i wielką biblioteką scenariuszy. Polecam.
Never played harpoon before. Great game, can see why it's inspired so many in the genre.
This is a great game if you used to play it in college. Great for learning military ship, sub, and aircraft names and capabilities. Great if you read Tom Clancy books.
If you remember the user friendly MAC version, prepare to be disappointed. On a positive note, this version does have more scenarios. Anticipate putting the time in for learning the complexities and detail. Aircraft selection is "interesting" playing the blue forces; seems there are more "vintage" aircraft for the era the game is placed in.
The game is 19 years old and still entertains.
I had this game years ago. I think some scenarios are missing but I still like it.
Gra mimo swojego wieku dalej jest bardzo grywalna i wciąga jak odkurzacz,szkoda tylko,że nie można uruchomić edytora misji
