As it is customary with these types of tales, there is a mysterious stranger that seems to know more than meets the eye. You soon start to realize that the waters hide hideous fish mutations, sunken ships, treasure, materials and something… else, stranger, ancient and indescribable, all right beneath its waves. All of these characters will ask and remind you not to fish out at night, and not to stay awake for a long period of time, lest you start to become paranoid. Each character you meet has either a side quest or an interesting mechanic or characteristic that makes them either useful, interesting or both. Also coming for Switch, PlayStation 5 and 4, and Xbox Series and One on the same date.Īs time goes by, you start meeting some more characters in town and from other towns.
You can get your hands on DREDGE by pre-ordering it or waiting for release on March 30th on Steam, for USD $24.99. It’s obvious to me that Black Salt Games knew what they wanted to do, and that they focused on atmosphere first and foremost, which I applaud. If you are reading this preview then the game has likely already caught your eye, and if it did, I’d bet you have a grand time, as long as you are not looking for an action game, that is.
It is not a perfect game by any measure, and I will point out what I felt were, albeit small, shortcomings while playing the game. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with DREDGE and if you have an affinity for the strange and bizarre while yearning for exploration, then this game may be what you are looking for. I am the first to admit that I can hardly resist a game with a Lovecraftian vibe that seems to be well-made, and, as such, DREDGE immediately caught my eye. DREDGE presents itself as a fishing/exploration game in the surface, with an obvious mystery lurking just beneath the surface, hiding in between the different islands you can travel to.
