ABOUT

Dusky Depths is a rogue-lite twin-stick shooter. Play the deadly rogue-lite Expedition mode alone or together with up to 3 additional players.

In the rogue-lite Expedition mode, you are a mercenary stranded on a mysterious planet inhabited by odd creatures and rundown machinery.

Abandoned warp gates, autonomous defense systems and other technological marvels indicate that at least one highly advanced civilization has inhabited this planet before.

But to you, only one thing matters: to find a way to escape from this planet.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Singleplayer and Online Multiplayer: The Expedition game mode can be played with 1-4 players, while the versus game modes can be played with 1-8 players.
  • Multiple game modes: In addition to the rogue-lite Expedition game mode, you can also compete in versus game modes such as Capture The Flag and Deathmatch!
  • Procedural map generation: The Expedition mode features maps that combine procedurally generated and hand-crafted parts for the best of both worlds.
  • More than 100 different items: A vast amount of weapons, ship augmentations and other types of items will allow you to play in countless play styles.
  • 2D physics simulation: The game includes a custom-tailored physics engine which allows you to set up all kinds of contraptions to your advantage.
  • Fully destructible terrain: Modify the terrain to open up completely new paths!
