Epilogue: Submersed

When Submersed it is a Horror-Survival Game from the small Basque game forge Main Loop, which will focus on a research station, which is a small shark problem has. At the latest since The white shark of the cinema landscape has captured the robbers of the seas to its selected Item as the villain backed up. And also in Submersed should me according to the developers, fear and worry in front of the sharks to be Afraid of, but something quite different.

Jack Ballard, medic at Maritime rescue service from Miami, is sent with his colleagues by a helicopter to a research station to respond to an emergency call. However, already at the landing, something goes wrong and the recently widowed Jack is now stranded on the Station. As he begins to move in the buildings around, he discovers quickly that there is something mighty wrong: The-based Team has carried out experiments on sharks, which are, unfortunately, gone out of control. And soon there is a Clash with the mutant predators. Your task is stay alive and find a way to call for help.

Large Sharks – Small Fish

I must confess to start with, I’m a big Fan of the clichéd use of the dreaded sea creatures in various movies. Whether it’s sharks with lasers on their heads in Austin Powers or the absurd Sharknados from the eponymous Franchise, you never have your effect fails to enjoy myself. And since we’d already been to the main problem of Submersed, because the game sees itself as a serious horror game. And you would have worked on the title a little (or rather much), then the result would have been accordingly. So we have to do it with a bad B-Movie Story that has swept me unfortunately even. Also, the quality of the dialogues and their very wooden sound is not helping that atmosphere arises, and the actually terrible position in which one is aware.

In Submersed you through the underwater station beat.

Deep Blue Sea

Visually the game is reminiscent of the early 2000s, and so the sneaking Around in the First-Person perspective in the hallways of the underwater station as a relatively loveless. Since you only have a flashlight but you do anyway as a light source, the missing Details to get over. Many of the approaches of the title are great, but your not Mature implementation. So the battery you must always display your lamp, keep in mind and be on the lookout for energy sources. Your inventory space is limited, and charging stations have in which you a little more storage space available, rar. You need to heal, for example, two inventory slots to you, because drugs must be injected via syringe.

I had right at the beginning of an accident that has robbed me of almost the whole of the life energy. To signal you that you are not injured, appears to be a bloody part of the screen that restricts your vision. And I didn’t make it the entire game, to find a sufficient number of medicines, so that I can again see the complete picture. Particularly problematic in the under-water sections, where you must arrive in a special protective suit, the outside to the next building. The suit is equipped with a lamp and a sonar device, with the via traffic light system is displayed how close the danger is. But you have to be careful, because the light of the sonar, it attracts your enemies! The display was with me however, my blood be covered, thus, this Level proved to be as unnecessarily difficult. I haven’t counted how many times the shark has been caught, but it was the same every Time unexciting Animation, as I do, “” get eaten, which makes the Whole thing very quickly rather boring feel.

When you Exit the Station you need to create a special diving suit.

Shark Attack

To which is added a very loveless staging a very spongy and slow control: you have the opportunity to Run, but has shown pace, gives you more of the feeling of participating in a Walking class to participate. The sharks you’ll encounter, are you to worlds superior, and even if you found the electrical weapons, you can put it for more than a few seconds out of action. Once caught, this is your sure death. Also the level design can rumreißen the rudder, the trails are designed to be either very cluttered and confusing, or too simple, and up to a Passage where you have to out of a burning Elevator shaft to escape, they are not unusual, unfortunately, very creative. And if you then fall in some Places, even just through the floor and directly in front of the mouth of a hungry shark lands, then joy comes up correctly. After about two hours, you’ve survived your Jack’s Odyssey, but whether this is the end of the story?

CONCLUSION

Submersed has a lot of great ideas and approaches, but unfortunately, your implementation will fail. I think something like that is always especially sad when a game has great Potential but is not exploited. With a predictable story, slow controls and bland level design has not exactly covered itself in the game, unfortunately, with fame. It might have worked even in this state, you would have opted for an ironic, humorous implementation. A non-managed Submersed, however, going to forget I read this title, for a long time. In spite of everything, I am curious, what us the Main Loop in the future will bring, because the Potential for great games is available.
