Is Sunkenland worth it?

Sunkenland is worth it if…

  • you like survival crafting with lots of scavenging and base tinkering

  • you like defending a base and raiding enemy outposts for loot
  • you want co-op survival you can play with friends against AI clans

Scavenge the drowned cities

You pull on diving gear and drop below the surface, where skyscrapers, a nuclear plant, and subway tunnels wait with scrap, lost tech, and rare pre-apocalypse finds. You pry open containers, gather what you can carry, and watch for whatever moves down in the dark. Back on dry ground, those runs turn into tools, weapons, and workstations built from blueprints, plus diving devices that let you stay down longer and reach deeper wrecks.

Build a base that keeps you alive

You place walls, floors, and roofs piece by piece, so the result can be a water stronghold, a base on an old ship, or an island penthouse dressed up with decorations found on your trips. It is practical first: a place to rest, cook and farm, store supplies, and craft. You set up workstations for complex builds, run crops and food supplies, hunt sharks when you need meat, and keep the whole setup sustainable while resources stay scarce.

Hold ground, then take theirs

Pirate and mutant clans want the same scraps you do, so you ring your territory with high walls, barbed wire, traps, cameras, and artillery. When the alarm holds, you go on the attack instead: you motor to an enemy atoll, land with melee weapons, firearms, and explosives, and strip it for resources. Fights happen on land and on the water, and mounted heavy weapons let you answer enemy boats with something heavier than small arms.

Boats, trade, and company

You build and upgrade a sailboat, a jetski, and a gyrocopter, which makes hopping between islands and dive sites far quicker than swimming everywhere. Friendly atolls will swap supplies, weapons, armor, and rare items, always item for item since there is no common currency. You can run the whole water apocalypse solo or bring friends along to build, scavenge, and fight pirates together, splitting the jobs between diving, farming, and guard duty.

Good to know?

What do you actually do from day to day?

You eat, drink, fish, cook, and farm to stay fed, then head out to gather scrap from sunken buildings and islands. Back home you refine materials, unlock blueprints, craft gear and vehicles, expand the base, and set defenses before the next raid or pirate visit.

How does base building work?

It uses a modular, piece-by-piece system, so you choose the spot and shape the layout yourself. Expect walls, defenses like wire and traps, crafting stations, storage, farms, plus furniture, lights, and decorations to make a rusty stronghold feel lived in.

How do fighting and trading work?

You fight mutants and pirates with melee weapons, guns, explosives, and mounted heavy weapons, on foot and from boats, and you can raid their atolls for resources and territory. Trading is separate and peaceful: friendly atolls exchange supplies and rare items, but only as direct swaps, with no money involved.

Can I play it with friends?

Yes. There is single-player and co-op, and the co-op is player-versus-environment, so your group builds, explores, and fights AI pirates together rather than fighting other players.
