Sunkenland imagines a near future in which water has covered most of Earth, turning exploration into a search through the remnants of drowned cities. Players dive among skyscrapers, nuclear power plants and subway tunnels to gather resources, uncover technologies and find rare items from before the disaster. The submerged setting is more than scenery: diving equipment helps with underwater journeys, while the depths hold unknown dangers.
Survival combines scavenging with the work of establishing a refuge. Players can build a base on an island, aboard an abandoned ship or as a water stronghold, then use it for crafting, farming, storage and protection. Pirates and mutants threaten settlements, so defenses can include traps, surveillance systems and artillery. Beyond the base, the game supports crafting tools, weapons and vehicles, fighting on land or at sea, raiding enemy atolls, and trading supplies with friendly ones through item-for-item exchanges.
That combination gives Sunkenland a broad survival-and-exploration format rather than a single-purpose combat loop. Its listed options include single-player, multiplayer and online co-op, with co-op described as a way for friends to build, dive, explore and fight together.
