What is From the Depths?

This physics-based building and combat sandbox lets you construct block-based ships, submarines, aircraft, and other vehicles, then command them from a first-person view or automate them for battle. Designs can be tested in creative mode or used in missions, an island-spanning strategic campaign, a raft-to-fleet adventure, and competitive or cooperative multiplayer.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy engineering complex vehicles from individual blocks
  • +you want detailed weapon customization and physics-driven damage
  • +you have patience for a steep, time-consuming learning process

Not for you if...

  • −you want intuitive controls and a quick start
  • −you prefer ready-made vehicles over designing every system
  • −you dislike spending hours testing and revising one craft
