EMERGENT GAMEPLAY

Tidal Shock is different. We didn’t have a bunch of rules to follow or examples to copy when designing a 360 Degree Aquatic Arena . We set a dynamic stage with clear objectives and (hopefully) balanced combat mechanics. How Tidal Shock matches unfold, the winning strategies and styles of play will be set by players – you.

"..."This game is fun. Like, really good fun. It’s challenging enough that it makes any successes rewarding." – Gamezo

Always Free to Play, Never Pay to Win.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
