Aquanox: Deep Descent

"A perfectly honest effort from Digital Arrow, but one that could have reached greater heights with a little more attention to detail."

"AquaNox: Deep Descent is a wasted effort to revive a unique underwater submarine shooter game. It features a somewhat good story, but it is not strong enough to convince you to continue the game. It’s gameplay core mechanics are also …"

"Duking it out underwater is a lot of fun in this game. The visuals are well-done, it plays well, and the story is quite strong too. Very much worth a look for anyone intrigued by its premise."

"As resurrections of near-20-year-old franchises go, Aquanox Deep Descent is a very solid effort that, with a few tweaks and a bit more polish, could potentially be special. Here’s hoping that THQ Nordic gives Digital Arrow the opportunity to make …"

"Aquanox Deep Descent is a beautiful follow up to a series that many may have forgotten about over the years. However, it was clearly made on a budget, which seemed to hurt a few of the game’s more necessary modes. …"

"If you’re a fan of the previous Aquanox games or if you enjoy underwater sub-simulators, then yeah, you’ll probably have a good time and I would suggest picking it up. If you prefer your games more action-packed and fast-paced like …"

"Aquanox: Deep Descent works well enough to justify its existence. Performance is fine, gameplay is fine, story is fine, length and price are fine - Aquanox is just fine. It won&s;t wow a lot of people, but the people it …"

"Finding Nemo. Seriously, it is one of the characters in good underwater story. And there is 4 player drop-in co-op and PvP multiplayer as well. But some ingredients could be better."

"Aquanox: Deep Descent is a decent game to play from start to finish. A dystopian world where the surface is uninhabitable and the only choice is to live under the sea is not quite believable, but also possible. The characters …"

"Submarines, Bionts, Dystopia and shooty shoots, what&s;s not to love? Buy this, slap on your cowboy hat, and stick some Linda Ronstadt on as you drive "every kind of rig that&s;s ever been made" in the deep blue."

"The underwater combat in Aquanox: Deep Descent certainly feels right, however the lousy enemy AI, the consequent generally low difficulty, and several naiveties in the gameplay formula do not allow the game to be enjoyable from start to finish. It …"

"Shooting things is definitely the goal of Aquanox Deep Descent. After so many years, it is really a shame to see that the saga has not evolved and has not diversified in any way or gone deeper in almost any …"

"Aquanox Deep Descent suffers from poor mission variety and an underwhelming story, but its combat and ship customization systems are solid and entertaining."

"With its interesting setting, engaging story, great combat mechanics, and tons of customization options, Aquanox Deep Descent is a more than worthy new entry in the classic series. Bland mission design and a repetitive structure does damage the experience a …"

"Still, there is no denying that Aquanox Deep Descent is a very flawed game that doesn’t live up to its pedigree. The modest budget and troubled development cycle are glaringly obvious in many places throughout the game, and there are …"

"Aquanox: Deep Descent continues a journey into the depths of the sea started in 1996 and proves blowing things up underwater is more fun than the Bends."

"Aquanox: Deep Descent invites the players to enter one of the most fascinating postapocalyptic worlds in gaming history. Sure, Fallouts and Wastelands are fine, but Earth covered with water? That’s simply better! Sadly, the rest of the game is as …"

"Aquanox Deep Descent is a “for fans by fans game”, the core combat mechanics and exploration are satisfying and will surely appease Aquanox fans. Too bad that the rest — especially its story beats — undermined by an annoying protagonist …"

"Aquanox Deep Descent is a very welcome return for an underrated series. In this era of modern re-imaginings, this game delivers in introducing Aquanox’s world to a new generation of players. The movement may be slightly cumbersome and things may …"

"Aquanox: Deep Descent is an enjoyable blaster that will keep you engaged for the time it takes to get through the story. The multiplayer modes feel a bit bolted-on, but the deep-sea environments are top-notch, the story is functional if …"

"The Aquanox saga returns with a new delivery that returns us to the bottom of the ocean, now with a better graphic section and a face wash. The atmosphere is fantastic and we will have no trouble diving into their …"

"Similar vibe to free-space, this underwater adventure offers instant action with an interesting narrative story."

"Decent controls can&s;t save this game from being aggressively bland, boring, and average."
