Previously available on PS4, Sunless Sea has now found a place on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, with the Zubmariner Edition bringing this gothic horror RPG experience to a new wave of gamer.
Initially created by Failbetter Games, Sunless Sea: Zubmariner Edition makes its way to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch thanks to the porting team at Nephilim Game Studios and the indie publishing kings at Digerati to not just deliver the standard base game, but a rather extensive, hugely deep, underwater expansion too.
Sunless Sea first came about thanks to a Kickstarter campaign, and since then has taken home many nominations, including those from the Golden Joystick Awards (Best Storytelling), Develop Awards (Best Use of Narrative), and Writers’ Guild of Great Britain (Best Writing in a Video Game).
It’s a game that is all about losing your mind, eating your crew, and dying. Because when you do, you then find yourself thrust back into the action, moving lineage along and taking home all your previously earnt information. With a narrative running along in the background, a ton of real-time sea combat and the opportunity to embark in some serious upgrading and trading systems, there is much to like about Sunless Sea – and our full review of the Zubmariner Edition on Xbox One backs that up.
If you’re looking to take the helm of a steamship, are ready to embark on a new Victorian Gothic roleplaying game of discovery, loneliness and frequent death then Sunless Sea: Zubmariner Edition is one to consider.
Key features of Sunless Sea include:
- Find your father’s bones. Determine London’s destiny. Defy the gods of the deep sea
- Build up your story across generations of zailors who braved the sea and lost
- Real-time combat against ships and Zee-beasts, spider-crewed dreadnoughts and sentient icebergs
- Stray too far from civilization and your crew will grow fearful and eventually lose their sanity
- Upgrade your steamship with powerful engines, cannons and pneumatic torpedo guns
- Hire unique officers, each with their own story
- Discover the treasures the zee has claimed
- Choose a ship’s mascot
- Trade or smuggle silk and souls
