    Diluvion is one great sea adventure like you've never seen. A must-buy if you hold on to the stigma around under water games.

    Diluvion is something I really sunk my teeth into, and though there were some snags, I thoroughly enjoyed my time. The excitement of exploring the deepest nooks and crannies of a fictional ocean is something I kept with me throughout my play through, wondering what mysterious creatures lurked beneath me. With a little bit more polish I can see Diluvion sitting in the top seller chart for a while.

    With Diluvion you can explore a vast underwater world and fight submarines and dangerous creatures. If you can manage and control your submarine.

    Described as "Dark Souls underwater," this tactical action game is a brief, but fun little journey.

    Yup, that's a 2 rating and after 20 minutes no less; now let me iterate.

    So I started in some kind of cavern, no exits and no big deal. I    Yup, that's a 2 rating and after 20 minutes no less; now let me iterate.

    So I started in some kind of cavern, no exits and no big deal. I figured there must be a trigger to continue or a way to drill out, something; wasn't seeing it then lo I found some way forward (draw distance sucks).

    Than something about a crew member needing to talk(tutorial) cant exit or resolve this after, just locked into the sub 2d mode; then I quit. There are few options and no key mapping which I find to be a good reference for the controls when a game fails in this regard.

    The screen to sub point of view is over the right garbage, which was garbage in every game that ever used it. I currently have it modded out for any game I play.

    No save option because of a checkpoint system, yeah thats on my list of bad and stupid game design choices because when a save gets corrupted, you must restart; also it is ridiculous .

    -cumbersome controls due to bad sprite position
    -bad draw distance and onscreen clutter
    -no in game reference for commands and no options
    -no z axis movement buttons that I can find(needed by any game of this type that uses depth and altitude as movement)

    There are improvements that can be beyond its issues as well,; a HUD display with functions could alleviate some issue but in all the game is on the low end to anything else Ive played in a year; It gets a 1 for function, a 4 for effort and a 2 for the game it turned out to be.    … Full Review »

    I'm so disappointed. This game looked so promising. OK - it has quite good looking 2D art, nice mood, sound design and overall art style. ButI'm so disappointed. This game looked so promising. OK - it has quite good looking 2D art, nice mood, sound design and overall art style. But unresponsive controls, confusing 3D graphics and poor storytelling makes it hard to enjoy.
    I'll return to this game in about three months, after all patches, maybe it'll get better.    … Full Review »
