Depth of Extinction

The game has tactical shooting combat with procedural map generation. The submarine itself does not feature in the combat, but can get healed or damaged via the random nodes on the map. I think the setting spoke to me which led me to purchase it, but the story is a weak point. I like roguelike and roguelite games, if you do this is a nice one to pad out your library. It is competently made.

Nice small tactical squad game with most of what you'd expect: character classes, experience, gear, turn-based combat, cover, overwatch... The game doesn't really do anything particularly new and battles can start feeling repetitive, but it works, it has a cool setting (post apocalyptic flooded world) and some neat set-pieces (sub to sub boarding, floating platforms). I enjoyed going through the campaign, taking the scenic route with the optional missions for new submarines/classes/weapons, but one could probably beat it a lot quicker by focusing on the main story objectives. Only personal niggle is that there are no underwater seafloor battles like in XCOM: Terror from the Deep or Stirring Abyss. That would have done a lot to reinforce the setting. But as-is, it is charming already.

Simple but fun turn-based tactics. Overall I would recommend it for fans of the genre, but I would warn you not to expect anything revolutionary. Pros: - Easy to learn gameplay. Good controller compatability. - Interesting setting - Enjoyable and balanced progression Cons: - Could benefit from more complexity and variety in the missions and units available - Minimal story

It is a fun game that you can play for a few hours. It has a nice and quick story.

A little bit of FTL, a little bit of X-Com, has submarines... what's not to like?
