Dave the Diver is multiple games seamlessly merged into one extraordinary adventure. Whether you are diving the depths of the ocean for fish, serving sushi, or battling mega monster sea creatures this unique and quirky game just refuses to under deliver. The story of the game is always captivating, yet light and fun. Dave the Diver never misses an opportunity to use humor as a way of progressing the plot. This game has already accumulated one million users and it’s easy to see why.
Fortune Favors the Bold.
Dave the Diver is a casual adventure indie rpg simulation game by Steam’s standards, but this game is so multi-genre that it’s so much more. The game progresses by catching fish. The fish you catch are then master crafted into sushi dishes and sold for a profit. You can use that money for a variety of things, one of the most important is upgrading your equipment. After you upgrade, you can dive deeper and get better fish which allows you to sell them for more profit and upgrade your equipment even better in an ever-changing loop. When you grow hesitant or even a little overwhelmed by one aspect of this loop, you are often presented with another fun way to engage. Don’t feel like hunting fish? Skip time to when the sushi shop opens. Don’t feel like serving sushi? You can cut down on sushi time by diving at night. You can spend time collecting metals and parts to upgrade your weapons or even kill tons of time picking up starfish and seaweed to unlock better accessories. In Dave the Diver, you focus on the aspect of game play that you enjoy the most. Even MINTROCKETS the developers quote “Our Relentless Focus is on the Enjoyment of the Game play” and that’s absolutely true in every aspect. Beyond the freedom of choosing what you do and how to play in every moment, every aspect of this game is upgradeable and allows game play to be fully interchangeable. You can hire staff to make serving sushi easier and faster. Upgrade your equipment so you can dive deeper and longer. If you don’t want to grind for those hard-to-catch tuna, fill up your fish farm and breed them. You will always get back what you put into this game.
Dynamic Diving: Adaptable Difficulty in Dave the Diver
You choose your own difficulty level by deciding what to upgrade and how deep to dive when to avoid encounters, and when to fight. The fish that tend to put up a bit more of a fight in deeper waters tend to offer better sushi prices. If you want to casually catch the easiest fish at the top, you will reap smaller rewards except when they don’t. Just like the natural ocean Dave the Diver can be very spontaneous and when you feel safest is often when you’re not. This ever-changing game will also sometimes throw harder-to-capture or harder-to-fight fish near the top, guaranteeing to keep even the more meek players on their feet. The difficulty levels never feel too easy or too hard. In this beautiful 2D and 3D game, the ecology and topography are always changing, ensuring that most dives will look and feel different while remaining special.
Fishing For Events
If you want to make a lot of coins fast, fish can be extra profitable if you catch a bunch when there is a special event for them. Events will show up as days on the calendar on your in-game cellphone. You’ll get an email followed by a heads-up that the event will be in 3 days. Depending on the event and the type of fish you sell, you can make about 3x what you normally would on any given day. This is especially helpful if you are really looking to make some significant upgrades but just haven’t been able to save up enough to get them yet. Nothing in Dave the Diver is consistently that easy, though. On one particular event night, there happened to be a rare mega sea creature that needed it’s butt kicked so I had to make the tough call of either getting full event profits or cutting ⅓ of the profits out to get the extra special marine card to accompany my collection. In those moments you really get to choose just how difficult or profitable you want your experience to be.
Unforeseen Adventures For All Ages
Dave the Diver has crafted such a simple and enjoyable loop of fishing and selling sushi. I could definitely see this being a game that anyone would come back and play in a year or so. This game is the perfect combination of hilarious cut scenes, genuinely fun game play, and enough content to keep you preoccupied for weeks. Even as this game becomes a little repetitive, no two dives are ever the same. Dave the Diver sneaks up on you with these unsuspecting tough moments of battling sharks or even the unpredictability of you thinking you can go a little deeper only to lose everything you previously had. At moments it can feel accurately unforgiving, making you groan out loud for your own foolish choices. Yet there are always brief moments of unexpected kindness where the game lets you keep one item even though you passed out, or perhaps someone you helped in the past comes back to help you punch a shark in the face. This game is well worth the $19.99. I already recommend Dave the Diver to anyone who will listen. I could see them releasing DLCs to go along with this game later on as well. This is an excellent game for anyone 7 to 70.
Exploring Enchanting Depths
The game’s ability to captivate makes Dave the Diver really stand out. I think there are so many different moments when, say, a whale is swimming by, and the music changes slightly for a moment. When you get so lost in catching fish and the game forces you to take a breath and enjoy this beautiful, peaceful moment. You are under the ocean, and you are just surrounded by all these different types of fish and coral and seaweed and different things to collect and different things to see and do and interact with. You even have an in-game cell phone full of mini-games, card collecting, weapon upgrades, and your own silly social media. It’s just a beautiful game in every aspect. My favorite part is that there is so much to do. Yet you are not pressured to do any of it. You want to. This pushes the concept that you can play at your own pace. Even if the game starts to get stagnant, suddenly, some event or moment always ends up happening. Some sort of new fish or new area opens, and the ever-changing loop, well, changes. There are constant new moments of exploring and seeing things that you hadn’t previously made this game anything but boring. If you want to see what the ocean looks like during a storm if you want to save dolphins and eat delicious sushi play this pc only game.
