Depth (2014) PC

It would seem that it is difficult to come up with something new in the genre of a network shooter. Everything has been said for a long time, and the leaders and outsiders have been identified. However, the developers of Depth clearly do not think so, and their creation can successfully claim to be one of the founders of the genre. Not only is this game a symbiosis of treasure hunting, diving and shooter, so all this is seasoned with a considerable amount of adrenaline. The result is a completely independent product that definitely deserves attention.

General description and plot

The Depth game is a network team shooter in the underwater world. The plot, as historically developed in the genre, is presented here rudimentally – divers need to study locations representing the ruins of some ancient buildings, etc. The proceeds from the sale of the found treasures will be used to purchase better equipment and weapons. Everything is classic here.

But as a rival to greedy treasure robbers, sharks act in the game. Ancient predators do not like it when they invade their possessions, and even as unceremoniously as people do… It's not enough to eat for this. Which, in principle, the sharks intend to do.

Gameplay Features

As for the features of the gameplay, the idea itself is far from trivial. The idea of contrasting different species of creatures is not new, but it has received a worthy realization, perhaps, for the first time here. The players are divided into two teams and the task of each is to completely eliminate the opposite.

Playing for people, you will get the opportunity to feel like a scuba diver who has to study ancient buildings. In case of successful completion of the swim, experience points and funds are awarded, which are spent on character development – a new scuba gear or upgrading weapons, which will not be superfluous, given the enemy.

As for the shark, the development is carried out in another traditional way – pumping skills and abilities. Initially, the shark does not pose a particular danger to a well-equipped enemy, but after a while there are real chances of becoming a thunderstorm of local waters. Some skills increase speed, some damage resistance, and through access to special bites, you can become even more deadly. Who will win in this confrontation – the oldest predator on earth or the crown of evolution,
