The original Aquanox is one of, if not the, most important game of my childhood on the PC. The game was packed with dense dialogue that was all voiced, and featured some really tight action. Also, I was a huge space-sim fan and getting a game like that, but set under the sea was all sorts of exciting. I still even play the game a couple of times a years just for the warm nostalgia.
Aquanox: Deep Descent is the fourth game in the series (I totally ignored the 3rd even though I own it) and has debuted a new single and multiplayer demo to press and consumers last week at gamescom in Cologne. Following the great reception it received, THQ Nordic and Digital Arrow are proud to present the gamescom gameplay trailer.
The atmospheric trailer begins by showcasing the oppressive and gloomy feel of the cold post-apocalyptic underwater world, accompanied by a minimal soundtrack, before launching into some exciting action scenes. By the end of the trailer, you will also get a glimpse of something that looks like a giant underwater creature – maybe a nod to some epic Pacific Rim-style monster fights coming in the future?
The game will let you take control of a team of highly trained fighter pilots and experience an epic story in the dark world of Aquanox. Send your enemies down to Davy Jones’s Locker with well-aimed torpedoes, mortars, mines and more. Explore the deepest corners of the oceans – mysterious, hazardous, uncharted.
