We have put a very heavy emphasis on exploration without much conventional hand-holding. Learning the layout of the ocean floor using your compass, captains log, and sonar is KEY to making it through the story alive. Instead of a minimap with a 'fog-of-war' effect, there is a literal fog of deep ocean water in front of you. There are also permanent 'landmarks' in the 3 hub zones which act as navigational points-of-interest. Yes there is! All of the loot, enemies, and 'encounters' (ooooh spooky) are randomly generated when you load into the game. And depending of the price of the game, it might well be worth the money.įrom the devs I would like to ask if there is any randomization (in loot, enemies et cetera) or procedural generation in Diluvion? And how big the playable areas are? At the first playthrough nobody has knowledge like that, and thus it takes considerably longer to finish the game. But back to the question of the length of the game: Does the 8-10 hours include side-quests or only the 'main' storyline?Īnd to Phill: 8-10 hours is quite enough, if it takes those hours to play the game from beginning to the end knowing exactly where to go and what to do in each and every turn. Originally posted by finnsnaga:If the 'levels' (playable areas) aren't even partially randomly generated each time you start a new game, there is not much replay value even though you have different subs available.
