Story[edit]
The main campaign, quest for Neter, takes place on a fictitious, continental planet named Neter which consists of vast oceans with sparse desert islands spread throughout. Approximately 100 years before the arrival of the player, the planet was united under a faction known as the Steel Empire. Following decades of civil war and an extra-terrestrial invasion by the Scarlet Dawn faction, the Steel Empire collapsed and separated into various smaller factions which the player will encounter, as well as various nomadic and pirate factions.[6]
A secondary campaign, Ashes of the Empire; as well as another planet, Glao; have also been added to the game, among others.
Gameplay[edit]
In From the Depths, players traverse a large preset world with the objective of conquering the planet and eliminating all other factions. The game contains elements of logistics which allows players to construct cargo vessels for the purpose of transferring supplies between fleets of resource-gathering fortresses. The game is voxel based, and shares similarities to Minecraft. The world of From the Depths contains semi-realistic, twenty-first century technology, as well as weapons and vessels from the Age of Sail. Players construct craft using resources to conquer individual squares across the map in a grid-format. Some grids, called resource zones, allow the player to mine or drill for the in game resources, called materials.[7] The other in-game factions, of which there are currently eight, are able to independently declare war, create alliances, and make peace with each other as well as the player.[6] The player is able to view all of these relations at any time. The player, which is manifested as the humanoid "rambot," is currently the only character in the game, as the other factions consist entirely of vessels and structures which contain and are operated by Artificial Intelligence systems. Similarly, the player is able to construct artificial intelligences on their own craft such that the vessels may operate on their own accord.[6]
