Aquanox: Deep Descent Reviews
If you’re a fan of the previous Aquanox games or if you enjoy underwater sub-simulators, then yeah, you’ll probably have a good time and I would suggest picking it up. If you prefer your games more action-packed and fast-paced like I do, then I would probably suggest you play something else.
Aquanox Deep Descent suffers from poor mission variety and an underwhelming story, but its combat and ship customization systems are solid and entertaining.
Aquanox Deep Descent is a very welcome return for an underrated series. In this era of modern re-imaginings, this game delivers in introducing Aquanox’s world to a new generation of players. The movement may be slightly cumbersome and things may get a bit hard, but it always manages to be engaging and fun. The world and story, combined with the solid multiplayer elements for both PvP and co-op, make this a well-rounded experience and essential purchase for fans of six degrees of freedom-type shooting games.
Shooting things is definitely the goal of Aquanox Deep Descent. After so many years, it is really a shame to see that the saga has not evolved and has not diversified in any way or gone deeper in almost any aspect.

Aquanox Deep Descent is a beautiful follow up to a series that many may have forgotten about over the years. However, it was clearly made on a budget, which seemed to hurt a few of the game’s more necessary modes. Boring supporting characters, lacking enemy environment, and a subpar coop mode won’t make any new series fans. However, those who truly dive into what this game offers will find a responsive and atmospheric submarine shooter with a deep level of strategy.
As resurrections of near-20-year-old franchises go, Aquanox Deep Descent is a very solid effort that, with a few tweaks and a bit more polish, could potentially be special. Here’s hoping that THQ Nordic gives Digital Arrow the opportunity to make another one
The Aquanox saga returns with a new delivery that returns us to the bottom of the ocean, now with a better graphic section and a face wash. The atmosphere is fantastic and we will have no trouble diving into their world. It can become repetitive and a bit heavy due to its own playable scheme, but it is still a pretty recommendable game.
