Description from the packaging.
Humanity ends where the deep begins...
Intense underwater action... Better hold your breath!
- Your missions take you to enchanting cities depicted in hi-res, hi-color graphics.
- Turn all of your enemies into shark bait!
- Choose from over 30 different weapons to create the ultimate fighting machine.
The all consuming darkness has your battle scarred submarine in a vise like grip. As you navigate your sub through enemy waters, the only thing that protects you from a cold and premature death is six inches of solid steel. As if life itself 5,700 meters below the ocean's surface was not difficult enough, the threat of impending conflict is about to challenge your very existence...
In the distance a glimmer of light pierces the darkness and shock waves begin to roll your craft. An unknown object is descending upon you. System indicate... "Torpedo!" Act immediately to avoid destruction. Lock your sights on the incoming torpedo. Release a Ripper Missile. Dive! Dive! Dive!
Your skill has saved you, but will you be as lucky the next time?
Submerge yourself into a world of corrupt conglomerates, fanatical cults and cutthroat pirates. Assume the role of a man who knows no fear, Emerald "Dead Eye" Flint, a mercenary whose reputation precedes him.
Your life is in danger and the very future of mankind is at stake!
Have you got what it takes to rise to the challenge of saving what is left of the world below the surface? If so, then be prepared... humanity ends where the deep begins.
