Darkwater

Assemble an elite team of up to four submariners as you attempt to survive the icy depths of an alien planet. A mysterious disease has left the surface colonies ravaged and the government has frozen the ocean in response. Trapped below a sheet of thick ice you and your co-op crew must contend with all manner of adversity as you scavenge for precious fuel. Do what it takes to survive. Brace yourself for relentless encounters with both humans and creatures as you fight your way from outpost to outpost. Down in the depths, those you meet could be allies…or adversaries.

If your crew wants to survive, you'll have to scavenge for all the fuel and credits you can carry. Dock your submarine to randomly generated deep-sea dungeons and face down what lurks below on foot. Infected divers lurk the halls of long-abandoned underwater hospitals waiting to strike, while alien creatures nest in forgotten factories. Each adversary responds to your presence in unique and unpredictable ways, so always keep your wits about you.

Engage in naval warfare with enemy submarines and tactically manage a variety of on-board systems as you attempt to gain the upper hand and sink your opponent. Upgrade and customise your submarine in real-time by adding new weapons, tools, and rooms including:

  • A range of powerful torpedoes
  • Harpoons
  • Decoy mines
  • Depth charges
  • Sonar upgrades
  • Manned torpedoes (for the ultimate in-person surprise)
