What is We Need To Go Deeper?

In this 2D cooperative roguelite, a submarine crew descends into a changing undersea trench. Each run has players steer, make repairs, load torpedoes, and redirect power, with trips on foot to explore and collect loot. Two to four people can play together online, or you can play with bots.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy coordinating submarine duties with friends under pressure
  • +you like changing biomes and loot across repeated runs

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer exploring without juggling submarine duties
  • −you want predictable stages rather than randomized runs
  • −you need local co-op rather than online play
