Reviews

“My jaw almost hit the floor when I installed a few community made vehicle blueprints. The creativity and ingenuity on display was simply incredible […] there is no doubt that this game is going to be truly epic”
Game Ramble

“The game’s physics system is especially impressive. Giant galleons feel like absolute tanks trudging through the ocean, while speedboats slice through the waves at a precarious pace […] Combat is chaotic and intimately customizable. There is perhaps no greater pleasure than executing a successful broadside”
Denkiphile

“From the Depths is a very fine-tuned and detailed strategy title, one that offers amazing customization options and the opportunity to test out your own creation live on the battlefield. If you’re a strategy enthusiast and love vehicle design, this one deserves your attention.”
