Aquanox: Deep Descent
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.

Been quite a while since this game has been installed on my PC however I simply refuse to play it unless it can be done in VR. Vorpx was certainly tried (in vain) so it wasnt until the fabulous UEVR injector mod was released before it was played in full in glorious VR and it certainly wasnt dissapointing. The feel of actually sitting in the cockpit and blasting away at those underwater nasties is greatly satisfying. There seems to be an uneven-ess in difficulty however meaning the speed of which the players sub can be manouvered can make some battles quite the challenge. Played via the Valve Index with a generic handheld controller is all that is needed with the Steamvr Resolution up quite high at 2080 (approx) per eye. Dialogue for this iteration is kept at a minimum compared to earlier iterations of the game and mentions of mind altering sea flora is quite forgotten. Worth uit? Yes absolutely!

The game has good and bad moments, the plot is sometimes slow and sometimes rushes. At a small cost, you could have done more missions, especially the characters, conversations with them, and extended the campaign, which is a pity. Overall, a very basic game was created, a prototype was quickly completed (just to close) and abandoned.

This is one of the best VR game I have played in a while, it even looks like it was made for VR. There is even a 'Oculus' folder in the game (that you have to delete to get it working with UEVR).
Once booted in VR it just works. Now, I played this for many hours on Epic and thought that it was a decent game (I never played the original, so cannot compare). In VR, it is so much more immersive and engaging. Cheaper than most AA VR games, and it has the virtue of being a full game. As it did not make it as a VR game, it has the advantage of not having Zombies - another plus!
Get UEVR and get this game, and you will have a great time.

It's a fun low budget game which feels like a space sim under water. Absolutely nothing new here so don't pay too much for it an don't expect anything extraordinary.

I liked the original Aquanox and honestly do not have any issues with this one. I think its a good game.
Yes its not open world, also not that extremely huge maps between loading spots - but its fine for me. Some people claim that you cannot see that far but guess what its deep sea game - in reality you would basically see nothing compared to this. Some say game is slow - I don't think so. Its pretty fast action but again its submarines so cannot expect faster.
The story is not bad, but I am in middle of the game still. Just play it sometimes. The controls are intuitive and teach themselves often - the only thing is that I had no idea that I need to click secondary missions then press space when on the map / alt+book menu to be able to get waypoints to them. This was not self explenatory but I kept trying and found it.
After all I think its a good game. I bought it when its price was low / action was for it. Maybe if you buy on full price you think there are much better games - who knows maybe there are, but the game is fun and I see no reason why markings are mixed right now.

just like old time, nostalgia mengingat kembali Archymedean Dinasty. ada turret nya yg bikin seneng hhehee.
btw di sini ketemu emerald "deadeye" flint lho, tapi masih kanak - kanak, kayaknya critanya flash back.
Gameplay : 5/10 (agak membosankan)
Story : 7/10 (biasa aja)
Graphic : 7/10 (good lah)
Sound : 5/10 (ini kadang ilang suaranya)

Better than its reputation. Certainly closer to Aquanox 2 than Archimedean Dynasty
