If you can look past that dicey veneer, you’ll find a lot to love in Diluvion. The screen is often too busy with dialogue, with no option to de-clutter the HUD, and checkpoints can be unforgiving and are unclear.
DILUVION GAME REVIEW PC
While those folks often speak of entertaining oddities like urine drinking competitions, the dullness of some of these locations in tandem with the lackluster and barebones options menu on PC (you have your basic resolution, FOV, sensitivity alterations, and key mapping, and that’s it) isn’t a winning combination. As the Captain of your own vessel, you must grow and manage your crew as you search for the secrets of the past in a hauntingly beautiful flooded world. Many character models straight up repeat in the 2D conversational sections, and not in an endearing “all Team Rocket or Team Skull members look similar” sort of way. Summary: Diluvion is a 3D deep sea, Jules Verne inspired, exploration game with RPG elements and thrilling submarine combat. There is an unfortunate feeling of cheapness to the presentation when it comes to tertiary elements. It centers around an earth on which mankind grew to be too greedy and corrupt for our own good, and so the gods punished the earth by sinking literally all of the landmass and covering the surface in a barrier of ice. Story The backstory of this game is absolutely flawless. Either way, there is a “golden fish” breadcrumb line to your next objective when tackling main quests, which while a tad too streamlined for my tastes ensures that players will never get lost in the vast expanse of the deep dark terrifying ocean that Diluvion takes place in. Diluvion is available on Steam for 19.99. Re-assigning crew to bolster weaponry, movement, or sonar capabilities-even on the fly-is a welcome mechanic. Starting with the Mariana, which can blast anything out of the water (but lacks speed) felt like night and day when juxtaposed with the lightning fast Glaciem, where it’s generally smarter to avoid fights. I especially noticed how different each section felt after changing submarines, which is a lot like switching weapons in an action RPG. The game places you in the role as the captain of your own vessel, you must grow and manage your crew as you search for the secrets of the past in a flooded world. The project originated on Kickstarter and is reminiscent of FTL meets the Silent Hunter. The bars in particular help bring life to the universe, showing that while things are dire and the world is in a degree of disarray, it’s still human, and these people are still clinging to their existence. Diluvion is a game that explores a post-biblical style flood world in a stylistic fashion. There are three distinct zones to travel through, with towns and plenty of enemy types to dance around and pick up on.
That’s in part due to the meat of the game being so heavily focused on exploration, which Diluvion does masterfully. Players can even build their own home bases to shelter their growing fleet of nine unique and upgradable ships over the course of their adventure through this hauntingly beautiful domain.įor more from Diluvion, please visit, and follow Arachnid Games on Facebook and on Twitter.Just like the lore it’s a tad under baked (the world is in the state of a “Great Flood,” which has trapped humans under a layer of ice) but by no means does it ever feel like fluff.
The combat is fun, the exploration is intriguing, if a little disorientating at times. Fans of Jules Verne will be pleasantly surprised with the game’s adventurous setting.
As a freelance captain hunting riches and glory, Diluvion lets players pilot their very own submersibles, assembling their crew, managing resources, discovering uncharted harbors, trading loot, collecting bounties and fending off threats human and inhuman in real-time 3D combat to survive. Diluvion is a charming experience that has plenty of positives going for it. Diluvion is a game that is deeply inspired by subterranean fiction. It includes an exclusive playable submarine called the “Manta,” a comprehensive digital art book and a downloadable copy of the game’s evocative original soundtrack.ĭeep below the frozen surface of a world devastated by a global flood rests an enormous undersea realm teeming with derelict vessels, unknown terrors and the last remnants of human civilization.
