About the Game

Summary

In From the Depths you can build and take first-person command of battleships, planes, submarines, space ships, hot air balloons and more! The game contains a wide range of single player content including:
  • A creative mode allowing you to push your designs to the limit and ensure the total annihilation of your opponents.
  • A strategic campaign waged over hundreds of islands against eight unique factions.
  • A Story Mode where you can play some action orientated mission focused on upgrading a design to fit a role.
  • Adventure mode where you start on a raft and must build up your fleet and travel a dangerous universe fighting or running from enemy fleets

As well as a wide range of multiplayer content
  • Design with your friends in co-op designer
  • Play a range of adversarial modes
  • Play the entire single player campaign together in co-op

Key Features

  • Design and build your fleet, fortresses and structures however you want. There are currently over 1000 unique components blocks, not including 38 different components for making missiles, torpedoes, depth charges and bombs and 34 different components for making the ultimate cannon shell!
  • The sky's the limit, you can equip your vehicle with cannons, lasers, mines, bombs, missiles, torpedoes, propellers, rudders, jet engines, wings, hydrofoils, hot air balloons, anchors, blueprint spawners, repair bots, air pumps, automated control blocks and many, many more!
  • Physics - every block destroyed or added affects the vehicle's functionality, physics and control. Drag, inertia tensors, buoyancy and sealed compartments are all updated based on the design of your vehicle and the damage sustained.
  • Be part of a fantastic community with new releases made on average once a week. Community organised challenges and blueprint sharing make it an extremely friendly place to hang out!
  • Loads of single player and multiplayer content in which to use your designs (campaigns, co-op campaigns, missions, adventures)
  • Design your own planets/campaigns/missions/multiplayer maps using the planet editor or add your own mods easily using a fully integrated modding interface

Customizable Components

The customizable components in From the Depths allow a unique level of engineering customization:
  • Design custom missiles, bombs, depth charges and torpedoes by combining various warheads types, fuse types, IR seekers, laser beam riders, laser designators, thrusters, navigation algorithms, sonar seekers, buoyancy compartments and propellers, to deliver a truly bespoke weapon.
  • Design cannons by combining four different barrel types and lengths with auto-loaders, warhead types, ammo boxes and auxiliary components to create everything from AA cannons to howitzers.
  • Design AIs by combining an AI mainframe with 'AI cards' slotted into motherboard blocks. Add radar detection, laser detection and tracking and local weapon controllers to give partial or full control to AI. Create anything from a fully AI controlled aircraft carrier to a battery powered drone.
  • Design custom engines using crank shafts, cylinders, carburetors, super chargers, exhausts and fuel injectors. Electric engines, generators and chargers are also available for backup power supplies and drones.
  • Similar systems exist for the creation of anti-vehicle and anti-missile lasers, drills that can cut even the largest of battleships in half, Particle Cannons, Jet engines and more

I do enjoy aspects of the game, in that its a fun interactive art simulation. It can be fun to design vehicles, develop your personal faction and doctrine, and sort of roleplay them. I will probably continue to

Arguably the most in-depth engineering simulator on the market. But it hides behind the worst UI ever developed. I want to love this game... I really do. But for the love of god, hire a UI designer....

An unpolished gem—or rather, a rough chunk of rock with a gem hidden somewhere inside. I love the concept, but the game today feels just as clunky as it did years ago, and it's not going to change. The main culprit is

I have never once used cram cannons. I have spent more time preparing to play than playing. Adventure mode is hell. Piracy is the peak. Still don’t know how to make bread birds work. You will cry when you try the
