The Co-Op Experience

Up to 16 online players can all man a submarine and work together to survive the depths of Europa. Co-op play is supported in all three game modes.

Description

Overcome crisis and the unrelenting pressure of a frozen ocean. In the not too distant future, where habitable places have become scarce, humanity has arrived on Jupiter’s moon. Europa with its frozen surface is a hostile environment, and life can only be found in the dark ocean beneath the ice – and the small pockets of human habitation are not the only form of life to be found there.

Three Game Modes

Sandbox Mode
No objectives or goals, players are free to explore and attempt to survive. Co-Op only.

Mission Mode
In Mission Mode, the crew are given a specific task to complete in a chosen submarine. These missions are structured around departing from a station and travelling to an area on the map to complete an objective. Once the objective is completed the sub must return back to the starting station, the destination (in case of delivery missions), or to the station on the opposite end of the map. Co-Op only.

Campaign Mode
Upon starting a new campaign, the host chooses a submarine that will be used for that campaign; it cannot be changed.

Once in the campaign menu, the players can choose a destination on a map, select missions, or use the shop to buy additional items using the money earned in missions. In singleplayer, the player can also hire AI crewmembers.

Campaign mode's missions are identical to those of Mission Mode, but the players must reach the station on the opposite end for the map in order to complete the task and change their position on the campaign map, unlocking more missions.

Can be played in single player.
