A waterworld-themed survival game

Sunkenland is a premium action game that offers an exhilarating post-apocalyptic survival and exploration experience that transports you to a water-covered world in the near future. In this gripping indie game, you're tasked with navigating sunken cities, scavenging for resources and lost technologies, constructing a base, trading, fighting, and above all, surviving.

The freedom to construct your base anywhere you desire is a standout feature of Sunkenland. Whether you opt for a fortified water stronghold, repurposed ship base, or an island penthouse, your base serves as a sanctuary for rejuvenation, crafting, farming, storage, and protection.

Scavenge, build, and defend your watery territory

Diving serves as a pivotal mechanic in Sunkenland as it allows you to explore the remnants of skyscrapers, nuclear power plants, and subway tunnels submerged underwater. As you embark on your underwater journey, you must gather essential resources, uncover forgotten technologies, and recover valuable pre-apocalypse artifacts. Crafting diving devices also becomes vital to the gameplay as these tools will assist you in navigating the perilous depths while remaining vigilant of lurking dangers.

Meanwhile, with the impending threat of pirates and mutants, your base's defense is paramount. Erect towering walls, intricate traps, barbed wire, surveillance systems, and powerful artillery to repel intruders from your territory and safeguard your haven. The modular building system helps you tailor your enclave to your preferences, meaning you can enhance it with decorations discovered during your ventures. 

For those who prefer a collaborative experience, the game also offers co-op gameplay. Team up with friends to endure the oceanic apocalypse together, constructing bases, diving, exploring, and combating pirates collectively. A major downside of this game is that some users have experienced instances of their game not being saved despite saving their progress, causing them to start from scratch.

Improved content and accessibility

While Sunkenland has mostly enjoyed popularity as a single-player adventure, it will be expanding to multiplayer territory with the addition of Dedicated Servers. The developers have provided a free-to-download tool that will allow players to set up their own in-game servers that they can use for multiplayer sessions. What’s better is that these are password-protected and don't require the host to be online for other players to enter.

Other changes in the game’s major update includes rebalancing the game, particularly its progression. For example, the stages in the game marked by technology upgrades are more distinguishable to make these phases more evenly spaced. The gun assembly process has also been overhauled, allowing players to recycle broken guns instead of simply farming the materials needed for various firearms. Lastly, expect more items, weapons, and gears to unlock and collect.

Dive into a new kind of survival game

Sunkenland submerges you in an awe-inspiring post-apocalyptic narrative of survival, exploration, and strategic decision-making. With its diverse range of features — from diving into the abyss to crafting, base building, and combat — the game offers an engaging experience that ensures hours of enthralling gameplay. Dive into the game's watery depths and navigate the mysteries and challenges of a world submerged by the tides of change.
