You’ll constantly need to find side gigs outside the main story to earn more money for better ships, ship parts, and weapons.

Call of the SeaĪquanox has some light trading, crafting, and upgrading systems to it. It was something carried over from the preview build we hoped would be fixed. It didn’t do this with the mouse and keyboard, but proved a constant annoyance otherwise. Unfortunately, the game attempts a situational dash move just mashed into this as well and on all the gamepads we tried, trying to move straight up or down resulted in suddenly and uncontrollably jetting in that direction until the sub smashed into something. The thumbstick buttons are by default assigned for moving straight up and down, which in itself seemed inconvenient.

The most annoying glitch had to do with the cramped control pad controls. Getting stuck on invisible architecture, watching the front-facing guns just jerk and blink, and general, if minor, instabilities were commonplace while plumbing the oceanic depths. Ultimate Digital Kickstarter EditionĪquanox: Deep Descent is also buggy as hell. At this point, it’s safe to assume the overall B-grade nature of the game, including the voices, is almost intentional. You’ll hear the same canned and phoned-in enemy sound bites all through the game and even the main cast voices are, at best, B-movie level.

Sound effects, ambients, and the score all get the job done, but this entire series has a history of impressively sketchy voice acting, and Deep Descent certainly follows that tradition. The rest of the presentation is a mixed bag as well. Graphics are good, but compared to, say, Subnautica, still have a generic look. As a result, the game doesn’t exactly visually distinguish itself beyond just being underwater. Deep Descent looks like a quintessential Unreal demo game, with that familiar lighting and smoothness of textures.
