The briefing

About this game

Battle Shark is a first-person arcade shooter developed by Taito. From a submarine’s periscope, you travel through underwater battlefields toward a heavily armed base on the ocean floor.

Fire a limited supply of torpedoes at enemy submarines and other crafts. Destroyed vehicles may provide extra torpedoes, damage repair, or upgraded torpedoes, while enemy fire reduces your damage gauge. The game is divided into levels, each ending with a large boss craft that must be defeated to continue.
