Description



Aquanox Deep Descent is a first person underwater vehicle shooter, in which players control a variety of customizable ships to engage in fierce battles in the dystopian deep sea world of Aqua.

In the near future the Earth's surface has become uninhabitable. What remains of humankind lives in former mining and research stations, deep below the surface of the sea. Born and raised in the only world we know, the loose network of underwater settlements, torn by the war for resources and dominance between various factions.

Take control of a team of highly trained fighter pilots and experience an epic story in the dark world of Aquanox. Send your enemies down to Davy Jones' Locker with well-aimed torpedoes, shrapnel blasts, mines and more in a journey that takes you across the world's oceans and into the deepest trenches of our Earth.

The Original Series

Aquanox Deep Descent is a re-imagining of both the gameplay and world of the original AquaNox-series. The Aquanox-series has its roots in the game Archimedean Dynasty (German: Schleichfahrt), released in 1996, which was followed by AquaNox in 2001 and AquaNox 2: Revelation in 2003.

All games are vehicle-based shooters set in a dystopian future where mankind has had to flee the surface and live in underwater stations in the oceans.

The AquaNox games were powered by the groundbreaking KRASS Engine that lead to the popular benchmark AquaMark.

Bought this game for the coop-campaign, as coop playable games are somewhat rare. We got really into it and had lots of fun for a few hours. The bad surprise came the next time we wanted to pick back up and loaded into the game. To find out that the coop-guest does not get saved, all their progress, items and money are just gone. According to the devs, this is what they wanted and had planned. If they don't want to

Released in October 2020, abandoned in December 2020. A shame, I loved the previous games and was looking forward to playing this game's coop campaign with a friend, but the choices made by the developers and the bad writing made the experience less than enjoyable.

Well, I bought that game hoping for a good underwater/exploration/adventure game, I finished it just now, and unfortunately, it was lacking in every way. The world design: Aqua is boring. Especially if I compare it to Subnauticas many biomes. Aquanox's plot takes you across multiple oceans all over the world, however if you've seen the first zone, you've seen them all. Always the same design, again and again, for
