Diluvion doesn’t have the standard navigation across the top with a marker pointing you in the direction you need to go, or the map top left or right with a flashing dot indicating you and a dot indicating your next point. I’ve loved my time just exploring and if I happen to come across the next story point great if not oh well more exploring for me, but I should talk about it a bit. Now I haven’t mentioned navigation much and that is because this game does such an amazing job visually, musically and interactively that I haven’t felt like I needed to just stay the course. As you float through this world you’ll come across many subs with their own desires, some are raiders who will start an under sea battle with you and other subs, some are peaceful merchants who you can offload your unwanted goods to and purchase needed supplies and even submarine upgrades. So as you travel it’s best to make sure you are staying on top of your food supply and when you have the option of trading for food it’s smart to see what your food supply level is at. Along with having to manage your oxygen you also have a crew, as they are human they get hungry but not terribly fast to where it’s annoying. In doing so I found multiple oxygen tanks, a broken sub where I could hire their crew members and many other awesome items such as missiles and rare valuable items to sell. Sometimes you’ll be looking for treasure such as metals, oxygen tanks and other collectable items, other times you’ll be talking to people and getting hints at where to go, history or legends, or be able to hire new crew members for a cost of course.Īs you would suspect as this game is under water you have an oxygen tank, this tank deplete as you move around this world and you need to keep it supplied which in my case of exploring and not progressing the story line thus far forced me into docking with anything and everything I could. When you finally are “docked” you are taken into an amazing 2d where screen where you can then investigate or interact with the people there. While this can be challenging at times when you’re going to fast I never felt like it was hard. To do this you place your sub towards the anchor symbol that appears on the object and shoot a harpoon like tether which has a stress level depending on the current and your speed may snap or suck you to it allowing you to investigate and interact. When you want to investigate a broken sub, city or other objects you have to tether to them. AS you explore this vast and open world you’ll notice the gorgeous 3d graphics surrounding you as you explore.
The great thing about this world is that there is so much to do that you may set out on a certain area but along the way you get side tracked by the living world around you and hours later realize you’ve made no story progression but had a blast exploring. As I set back out on my story line I found myself struggling to stay on course for the story but this is where Diluvion thrives. As I set out listening to him I eventually made my way to the crew member and acquired him. As I set out to explore my first crew member told me we needed to find a certain crew member and gave me a general direction. The excitement of the adventure ahead and the controls at my hand felt amazing.
Starting in the first region I felt the vast openness of the waters surrounding me. After picking which of the three starting submarines you’d like to Captain you set out on your adventure. Diluvion takes you into uncharted waters as a aspiring submarine Captain who has been given the honor of commanding your own sub and crew. Starting the game I was first submerged into the history and lore that makes this world so interesting learning about the Great Flood that happened centuries ago leaving the world under an immense layer of ice. Not all is as it seems and not everyone is as they seem either.Ĭoming from my hands on at PAX West which you can read called “ Diluvion PAX West” I was beyond excited to dive in. As you propel through the vast water you’ll encounter enemies, trading posts, remnants of the old world and mysterious objects.
