Depth of Extinction

if XCOM combat and FTL exploration had a roguelike baby this would be the ugly charming one. DoE is what would happen if humanity would be driven to live under the sea like little crabs that fight each other for survival with a rogue AI and crazy cultists thrown into the mix. The story is average but the music and spritework is nice. The combat missions and environments get really repetitive, really fast but the enemies do get stronger and more clever as the story progresses. If there is a room for great improvement in this game is the variation of the tile the mission areas are made of, I fought in stupid warehouses like 90% of the time and when I found myself fighting in an indoor farm, it was a breath of fresh air. Fighting enemy submarines is weird, since the enemy crew politely gets out of their death machines to engage you in combat.. its so dumb.. oh yeah, you also get out of your own submarine to cordially meet them. I had fun most of the time, this game's strength is making up your squad from several classes which you can pick and figuring out the synergy between them, should you get 3 snipers and a warden to lure enemies out while the snipers overwatches and kills everything that comes after you? or have 2 wildcats with their deadly bullet hell skills firing one after another destroying everything in a room like suicide bombers.. or yeah, just grab some wreckers and blow all the ♥♥♥♥ up.. all of it! Yeah, that was great. Achievements are easy and linear, do the story, do side missions that unlock different submaries or missions that let you gather intel so you can get a powerful plasma weapon later. Its hard to die in normal mode so if you need the death achievements, you'll need hardcore. DoE gets 7 stupid low profile assassin enemies that refuse to die out of 10 obliterated enemies thanks to my roid up wildcat SMG explosive bullet build that kills them all in one turn.

One of the funnest fastest squad based out there, great classes weapons and enemies. That's even before we talk about the call end of the world underwater robots going to kill all of us vibe.

I grabbed this game from a bundle on itch and bought it here just to give it a review. About 60 hours put in, just according to the saves I've got (ignoring the ones I deleted) This game is an improvement and refinement of the genre. The basic structure of the game is this: You select a mission, which consists of 2 or 3 areas - each area has a map like FTL, with a minimum of 5 encounters. The missions range from story to class unlocks to submarine unlocks and random ones that only give soldiers/cash - which are mostly for grinding your units to whatever level you wish. The class missions in particular are very fun - you're give 3 units of that class and have to make your way to the end, learning the class and perfecting it before unlocking for any soldier from then on. Combat is snappy and fast, which feels great. Each encounter has around 5 rooms, which are each a little fight (usually), giving you pretty constant engagement which isn't as repetitive as other games in the genre. Particularly fun are the large open rooms that connect, and suddenly you've pulled 8-12 enemies into the fray. Character progression is satisfying and each level up feels meaningful. Different classes play into each other and make for exciting combos. The game runs pretty well (especially for Unity), the only issues I've run into are graphical bugs when you kill things too quickly for the game to flash all the "Overwatch!" and "Enemy Spotted!" cards. Nothing game-breaking has been encountered in my many many hours of play. Can't recommend enough. It's fast and heaps of fun.

Não tem palavras, jogo muito bom

Great tactical strategy game with decent depth. Nothing earth-shattering or mold breaking but very enjoyable.

Old school fun.

[h1]Depth of Extinction: ¿Vale la pena sumergirse?[/h1] [h2]Resumen[/h2] ¡Oh, queridos jugadores!

A little bit janky and with a few minor bugs, but a fun one regardless. Best played in small doses as it can get repetitive in longer sittings, just enough to scrath the "XCOM itch" without actually going through with the larger install.
