Depth is an asymmetric underwater shooter that pits teams of divers against player-controlled sharks. Divers descend into dark waters to recover treasure, while sharks hunt them and can attack the treasure-collecting rover.
Divers explore wrecks and defend themselves with underwater weapons and equipment, including guns, mines, and sonar tools. Sharks use speed, senses, stealth, and surprise to pick off divers; each of the seven shark species offers a different play style.
During matches, divers spend collected gold on better gear, while sharks earn evolution upgrades through kills. Players can unlock additional weapons and shark evolutions over time, and AI opponents offer an offline way to practice.
Players often praise Depth's unusual shark-versus-diver setup, with many enjoying how the diver's defensive tension contrasts with the shark's stealthy hunts. Reviews also highlight the dark underwater atmosphere and the fun of playing with friends. Some players describe matchmaking as difficult or the experience as challenging for newcomers, while accounts of balance and current player activity vary.
