![]() You’ll need a bigger boat-a goal that sounds all the more attractive after your first few scuffles with pirates-and you’ll need some idea of where to start looking. Except you can’t, because if you dive too far in that rust-bucket then it’ll be crushed under the mounting pressure like a Pepsi can ‘neath a troubled youth’s skate shoe. What I like about this setup is that it very clearly establishes both your long-term goal and the short-term goals that’ll lead to it. You are the captain of a scrappy little relatively-unthreatening vessel of unknown origins, and you’ve taken it upon yourself to find the legendary artefact said to have the mystical power to neatly clean up this whole pickle, hidden on the deepest, darkest part of the ocean floor. A tragedy of vaguely mythological note has flooded the world and sealed humanity beneath the waves with a roof of impenetrable ice, forcing those who survived this event to live out their lives in scattered underwater settlements of moderate-to-miserable condition. I mean, descended into Diluvion, a submarining adventure of exploration, navigation, crew management, and-when the need arises-ships firing lumps of scrap metal against one another until somebody springs a leak. It was with this mindset that I dived into. Sure, there aren’t as many exciting space monsters to blast out of the skies, but frankly most of the repulsive squishy things living on the ocean floor might as well be from another planet anyway, so what the heck, right? Everything’s a reasonable distance from everything else, there’s no hyperdrive to go wrong at a crucial moment, it’s always obvious which way is up, and nobody calls you out for dressing up like Napoleon Bonaparte while standing at the bridge. Now, the depths of the ocean, that’s the place to be all the crushing oppressiveness of a hazardous working environment with considerably more interesting rock formations to accidentally ram your prow into. The interstellar gulf stretches in all directions on an incomprehensible scale, and you can drift for a very long time indeed without bumping into so much as a double yellow line. It’s very big, as the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy once eloquently noted, but what the Guide failed to point out is just how much of it is empty. What do you think – want to try it out? Let us know in the comments.The chief problem that space simulations seem to struggle with, once you get things like controls and background art out of the way, is that it’s kind of difficult to make space exciting to explore. Explore the ocean’s farthest reaches, discover the humanity’s last remnants and beware the unknown terrors of the deep on your hunt for riches and glory. As a freelance captain, you’ll assemble a crew, salvage derelict vessels, trade loot for resources at safe harbors, build your own home base and fleet, and battle rogue subs in real-time 3D combat. Set far below the surface of a frozen world devastated by a flood, Diluvion: Resubmerged puts you in command of your very own submarine on a Jules Verne-inspired adventure. Phew! Intrigued yet? Because there’s a lot of new stuff to offer! Finally, the expansion will include new sidequests, artwork, and music, alongside a number of quality-of-life improvements. There’s also enhanced visuals, new graphics settings, a complete UI overhaul with improved quest tracking and waypoints, the ability to save anywhere, and revamped landmark, navigation, and pathfinding systems. There are now hazard battles that require you to use your crew’s items and abilities when out salvaging, and a new forging system that offers greater customisation of your vessel upgrades for armor, depth range, and life support, as well as others. The new features include adding more strategic depth to looting, managing your unique crew, and upgrading your different submarines to fit players’ needs and playstyles. If you want to start a new adventure, from now until October 1, 2018, the game is on sale for 75% off through Steam and GOG.com (as opposed to its regular price of £15), and Diluvion: Resubmerged – Fleet Edition, which includes an exclusive, playable submarine called the “Manta,†a digital art book, and a downloadable copy of the game’s OST, is also on sale for 75% off (as opposed to the standard price of £19). There’s been a ton of new features and content added, so if you’re looking to go diving, now’s better than ever. It’s free for all Diluvion owners on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux as of today, September 28. Good Shepherd Entertainment and Arachnid Games have launched Diluvion: Resubmerged, which is a major new title update to the original deep sea submarine exploration and action game, Diluvion. ![]()
