Developed by HOF Studios, the game features a retro pixel art aesthetic, tons of varied scenarios, and deep, turn-based tactical combat. The Definitive Edition ups the ante with the addition of new enemies and maps along with tactical options like setting up ambushes, and using stealth to get the drop on enemies.
Depth of Extinction works to combine the best of old and new, taking the best of turn-based combat while adding in new twists like stealth, ambushes, and random encounters to keep it fresh. The gameplay is also bolstered by a ton of unique character classes, equipment, and other options to give players more freedom in how they approach each scenario. Despite the underwater setting, the game’s story takes a surprisingly grounded feel.
