I guess either Andrew Ryan's Rapture concept took off in this timeline and everyone wanted to build cities under the sea, or us humans went and made the surface uninhabitable, like a bunch of idiots.
I feel like he skipped the part where he explains why everyone is living underwater these days though.
This time though he's mostly just rambling on about the state of the world and what he thinks about it. The game begins with a CGI intro video narrated by Archimedean Dynasty's protagonist, Emerald "Deadeye" Flint, the most talented and cynical hardboiled international sea pilot under the seven seas.Īrchimedean Dynasty started off with Flint telling the tale of how his ship was destroyed while defending a freighter from pirates, with lots of action and drama. I like space shooters and some sky shooters, so I think I could find the fun in a sea shooter. There was going to be a PlayStation 2 game as well, AquaNox: The Angel's Tears, but that was outright cancelled for not passing Sony's software quality assurance test! I'm sure the developer could've fixed it, unfortunately they'd already been closed down by that point.Īnyway, it's been a long time since I played Archimedean Dynasty and I've never played this before so I'm not 100% sure what to expect here, but I'm optimistic. There's actually three games in the AquaNox series, though AquaNox: Deep Descent is supposed to be out any day now, which will bring the number to four. It apparently has "34 dangerous missions", an "atmospheric 3D soundtrack" and "an absorbing storyline that provides depth to the relentless action", but there's no hint that it's game #2. Speaking of the box, I got it out to have a look and there's no mention on it anywhere that this is actually a sequel to a 1996 game called Archimedean Dynasty. A lot of the games on my PC shelf have the same issue, which is a bit of a pain seeing as I didn't get them just so they could take up space! I got them so that they'd be there when I was ready to play them in a decade or two. I own this one on CD with a proper box and a proper manual, but I'm playing the Steam version instead because Windows 10 apparently wants nothing to do with its SafeDisc DRM. This week on Super Adventures I'm still in the early 2000s and I'm still on PC, but I've jumped ahead by one year to play 2001 submarine shooter AquaNox.
