There's new quests, smarter enemies, and a new save system - previously checkpoint-based, but now you can update your captain's log whenever you see fit.
#DILUVION SHIPS UPGRADE#
Among the bigger changes listed are a major overhaul to UI, salvaging and the ship upgrade system. I'm hoping to play more soon.Īs I missed out on Diluvion first time round, I've little point of reference as to what they've added to it. If there's one thing I have to grumble about in my limited time playing so far, it's the writing - it just feels a little dry and hollow, which stands out against the brightly coloured haze of its weird ocean world. In friendlier environments, you can trade salvage for gear and additional crew, slowly cluttering up your submarine as far as your (upgradable) life support will allow. You'll also occasionally meet enemies in these wrecks, and your crew need to engage in turn-based RPG style combat to proceed.Ĭrew management and dialogue work this way too, dragging and dropping crew-members to their ship stations, with backup crew handling repairs and boarding.
This is handled ingeniously by zooming in to a hand-drawn 2D cutaway view of the vessel you're searching, and you manually click your way through crates and doorways to explore and plunder. As a salvager, you make most of your money finding wrecked structures or ships, boarding them and poking around to find loot. Below, a fresh trailer for the new 'Resubmerged' version.įrom the little bit I had to play, it's three quarters 3D claustrophobic 'light' submarine sim, one quarter I struggle to define. Boasting major improvements, it's currently 75% discounted. Developers Arachnid Games have been patching holes ever since. While a striking looking game, it got depth-charged by negative reviews, with complaints about wonky UI and some underdeveloped systems. Despite its exciting premise of Jules Verne-inspired nautical adventuring, sea monsters and mechanical leviathans, Diluvion sank out of sonar range shortly after launching early last year - yesterday, it resurfaced under an expanded name.
