Cautiously recommended, very frustrating and difficult in the last few levels. It is a shame, because this game has moments of brilliance. However, for every 1 moment of awesomeness, there are 3 around the corner that will make you want to scream, smash your keyboard, and pull your hair out. + The atmosphere and underwater ambience feels real. The game graphics and the way the fish swim around underwater is realistic and impressive. You feel as if the sharks have a brain and are alive. + Some battles will make you walk the tightrope of being tense and fun VS. straight up rage inducing. + Level design and general layout of everything is great, the underwater world is well built. - Your character moves too slow. - The later levels are approximately 15-20 minutes long, and if a siren spawns behind you for a cheap kill, yeah everything you did in the past 15-20 minutes is lost. And this happens too often. - The boss fight on the very last level is super frustrating and difficult. - Not nearly enough health kits on the final levels. - Upgrading your weapons doesn't really seem to do anything. A fully upgraded character doesn't feel any better than a new character. Its random luck on where you hit the sharks in the moment that counts, and they can wiggle and move in the last second to screw everything up. Sometimes, even if you hit 2 different sharks in the same spot, one will die and another will take 6 harpoons to the face and still be swimming around. - The on screen HUD should be removable or more realistic. The stark white numbers, points, weapon diagrams all over the screen break the immersion of the game. Checking oxygen levels by looking down at a watch or instrument would be more realistic than a cheesy white diagram of an oxygen tank on the corner of the screen constantly. Overall 6 / 10 If the developers put more effort into balancing the difficulty (or provide difficulty options), as well as making the game have more of a story and less of an arcade feel (remove the point system), they would have a quality hit game on their hands.

Absolutely gorgeous game, the creature AI is phenomenal, the sound effects are amazing and i was super pleased to actually hear myself bump into the floor and rocks. The only thing i'm disappointed with, as an artist myself, is the use of generative AI. Apart from that, this game is great and terrifying :D

The game is essentially a wave based survival game with a "campaign" tacked on as you move from 1 arena to the next. Because of that, the general gameplay is rather simple, but it's serviceable. The combat feels satisfying and you'll have to line up your shots correctly to hit the weakspots of the enemies. The game also has a surival mode in which you try and see how long you can survive increasing waves of enemies. and a free roam, where you can swim around the map of the campaign, without the waves nor the enemies being aggroed at you What the game does really great is the atmosphere of the underwater, the enviroments overall look great, you movement and the behaviour of the enemies feel believeable and further helps you immersive yourself into the game. If you want a short simple game that has a good atmosphere, it's worth picking up.

If you have play the previous Death in the Water (DitW) or Shark Attack Deathmatch 2, then you will understand the gameplay immediately. It isn't very difficult and if you have any experience in kiting enemies you should be fine. The story was fairly interesting, given the gameplay they did the best they could. Focus getting the treasure, then find an area to loop enemies and click heads. I would recommend the sniper and shotgun if you decided to buy new weapons. The pistol and minigun just don't hit as hard as you would want. Every level is basically the same, get treasure kill a set amount of enemies and get ready for the next dive. As for the final boss, it was cool looking but the fight just kinda blows. When it comes to survival mode, think of just a really bad roguelike / COD zombies. There is no actual wave indicator but new enemies only spawn after a set amount have been killed. More you kill the harder it gets and your rewards are not great along the way. If you are going for achievements you should be able to get to lvl 10 / 50 kills easy after a bit of practice. If you are going for surviving 20 mins just find a loop and dont kill anything. There will be roughly 6-7 blacktip sharks after you but their pathing struggles around the oil rigs / coral reefs. Loop the best you can until you need oxygen and grab the nearest tank. Music and sound design is good but that doesn't save the game by any means. If I was not going for achievements then this game would've just had too little content. Fun for a couple bucks / on sale. - 6.7 / 10

A stand-out title with super unique gameplay. The graphics, animations and models are all unbelievably good. I think adding some form of 'Marine Life Viewer' to watch the sea creatures in their natural habitat with some factual info about them would compliment it nicely!
