Depths of Peril Review

PlayNow reviews Depths of Peril and like many others finds the gameplay excellent and the graphics subpar. They give it a 7.8.

But this is an indie title and while money was not tossed at it to make it look pretty, the game scores well where it truly counts in the gameplay itself. With some role-playing elements, the game revolves around the single-player campaign that has the leader of a warring faction using strategic elements (which includes diplomacy) to rule the world.

The world evolves and changes as the players work through the game, and while there is a certain amount of action, the best course is often (initially) one that is not the call to arms. In other words, use war as the last resort, after you have set up the target with trade agreements, and diplomatic entreaties. Now if that was all there was to the game, it would be a simple outing, but this title from Soldak Entertainment embraces much more than that.
