About

Unlike the traditional shoot-up where the ship's agility is an asset, Deep Blue requires slower and more strategic pace. Your watership reacts with some inertia, which makes the esquives more complicated and requires accurate management of enemy attacks.

The bestiary of the game is varied, composed of mutant fish, aggressive jellyfish and other warlike marine creatures that attack in unpredictable formations. Each level proposes an increase in intensity where the fire and placement management is crucial to hope for progress.

Graphically, Deep Blue exploits the capabilities of the PC-Engine with detailed underwater decorations and a unique chromatic atmosphere. However, the very blue colour palette and the absence of real contrasts sometimes make it difficult to follow. The soundtrack, on the other hand, adopts a more atmospheric approach, reinforcing the impression of isolation at the bottom of the ocean.
