There is quite a bit of spray and pray at first as you learn the finer points of combat. I felt like a kid mashing my toys together in the bath tub. Combat at first feels like a chaotic mashing of ships together. These ship types don’t really effect the use of weapons, but are more about speed, inventory, and hit points one ship has. There are nine total submarines that break down into light, medium, heavy.
#Diluvion game review upgrade#
Depending on your ship, you may have a torpedo bay or you may upgrade into one. Torpedoes are bit more complicated with a lock on system and are extremely finicky, At least I found them to be. You have a basic gun turret that draws from scrap, a random loot currency, and torpedoes which are your heavy hitters. Much love to the developer for that.Ĭombat is simple but has its nuances.
#Diluvion game review full#
Diluvion does feature full controller support with rebindable keys.
I found it easier to play with my controller then my keyboard. The tutorial does, for the most part, explain the basic controls but it does take some getting acquainted with. There is lots of spinning the camera, going up and down in the heat of combat. Thankfully, there is an FOV slider in the options, but still found myself nauseated after a couple hours of gameplay. I found myself having quite a bit of motion sickness. Gameplay is from a third person perspective and controlling the ship from a side back view. Your submarine is hardly outfitted to go anywhere near the depth it needs to reach this place, thus adventure begins. The goal is to reach some sort of promise land that would see man rise from their watery confines. I would’ve loved to been more involved in the lore of the universe. It’s interesting but fed to you in bread crumbs. There is a story to the game that involves, gods, a rise and fall of humanity and a quest for redemption. These types of games tend to have grand scopes in the amount of freedom they want to give you.ĭiluvion is no different, it wants you to craft your own adventure and approach things at your own pace. When you break it down, you can compare Diluvion to most space games like Rebel Galaxy, Voidexpanse, or recently featured here at B3, 3030 Deathwar Redux. A very bold mixture of genres, gameplay, and overall design to say the least. Gathering loot that you quickly begin to ignore and not care that it exists at all.ĭiluvion is 3d underwater open world action/RPG. In Diluvions case, you end up going from fetch quest to fetch quest. Then the reality of fishing sets in and you end up drinking a few beers and waiting for a stick to shake. The water is rushing along the sides of your submarine and curiosities await around every corner. Kind of like going fishing in real life, Diluvion starts out strong and exciting. It’s the small things that begin to add up that become increasingly frustrating and take away from the experience. Diluvion as a whole is a well made game, that is beautiful, intriguing, and has a great many ideas. Now, I feel like I should prefix my review of Diluvionby saying that most of the frustrations I had with the game can be fixed with a patch. I could go on with how many attempts at this particular sea beast was attempted, but I never got the prize to wrap this story up. Time doesn’t freeze when your inside looting a ship. Sixth attempt, Forget the guns, get the prize and run. I manage to see where I need to go finally. So I get wiser, I decide to maybe upgrade my weapons a bit and see if I am just doing this wrong.įifth attempt, new guns, battled plenty of pirates, got better. At least I see one of the cannons finally explode, indicating some damage was dealt. At this point my eyebrow begins to twitch a bit. I don’t know if damage was done and the game gives me no indicationįourth attempt, Positioning tactics. Third attempt, Unload like a psycho on targets? Keeping my distance. I have twenty five hit points and one torpedo strike later, its over. Initial thoughts, “Cool, didn’t see that one coming but I am ready now!” Apparently this sea creature also can access the vessels weaponry. Plot twist, the item required is inside an ancient warship that some sort of giant spider/crab thing has decided to call home. Talk like a pirate day aside, the tale starts with a simple quest to reach a depth of five hundred meters and retrieve a prize. Aye, this be my tale of how I lost my crew over and over. Creatures that only the mad dream and brave dare ever to see. This be a tale about a sea beasts! Underwater terrors that lie in waiting for unsuspecting sailors.
