Early Access Review
Having recently started playing the water campaign I can safely say that it's much more fun than the land campaign because of the lack of volume restriction.

Pros :
+ you can build anything you want
+ extremely rewarding to see your designs fight
+ ton of content in the workshop

Cons :
- learning curve is extremely steep
- lots of lens flare and saturated colours on default settings (you can change that in the graphics settings, I haven't found a way to remove the lens flare though)
- battles with lots of vehicles/ big vehicles are unmanageable because of the framerate (I've found that restarting helps)

I've decided to edit my negative review into a positive one after much thought and gametime spent in From the Depths. It's a great game and truly one of it's kind. If you love the idea of having your own designs fight to the death then this game is definitely right for you.

Hello BelzeBooze,

Thanks for your review. A number of patches have come out since 2.2.4 that fix a lot of the wheel problems, and more are on the way. Also, all the graphical options can be disabled and tuned to your liking in the options menu. You can revert to the old graphics if you wish simply by turning off the GPU water and the PBR shaders, and the post processing effects. This will also help with your frame rate issues.

If you have specific requests or problems I can help you with please let me know as I'd be happy to help you.

Best regards,

Nick Smart,

[edit]

Restarting the game seems to have made it run fluently again for some reason.

I wanted to thank you for your swift response to my review by the way, I'll tinker around some more to maybe change my review in the future.
Also, is there a way to remove the lensflare ?

Greetings,

I've been playing some much, this time the regular campaign and I have to say that it's much more fun. Sadly it turns into a slideshow whenever 2 big ships fight. I've been trying everything I could find to improve the fps, to no avail.

782 hours on record and then a thumbs down due to new post processing graphics, that can be turned off!
That's just weird.
