Gameplay
In Hunter Killer, the player takes control of a United States Gato-class submarine engaged in naval combat during the Pacific theater of World War II. The game features a training mode alongside 14 distinct missions, which comprise five coastal operations, six special assignments, and three offensive engagements. The submarine is equipped with 10 torpedoes and a deck-mounted cannon.
Reception
Mike Siggins, writing for Games International, gave the game a score of 1 out of 10, delivering severe criticism regarding its overall quality. On the other hand, The Games Machine described it as less thrilling compared to other submarine simulators but suggested it as an economical alternative to Silent Service. John Kennedy from Amiga Computing regarded it as "a rewarding challenge at an exceptional price," favoring it over contemporary shoot-'em-up games.
