About this game
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Join Our Discord >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hopeless Sea begins in the late stages of a climatic apocalypse—triggered by the domino effect of global warming, which caused a sudden and drastic rise in global temperatures, leading to the massive melting of polar ice caps. By the mid-21st century, nearly all polar ice had vanished, resulting in a global sea level rise of over 50 meters. This rendered 90% of the world’s coastal megacities uninhabitable. Extreme climate shifts and misguided countermeasures led to the disappearance of vast populations, forcing the survivors to migrate inland to escape relentless tsunamis and storms.
Meanwhile, an unforeseen mutation emerged in the oceans—massive, frenzied sea creatures began appearing in waves. These aberrant beings frequently invaded human settlements, threatening the last remnants of civilization. To save humanity from ruin, their final hope was dispatched into the Hopeless Sea, tasked with uncovering the truth behind this catastrophe and eradicating its root cause.
Choose commander and hull, upgrade traits with your choices. But look, diamonds are dropping! They are awards for eliminating enemies. Collect them and exchange for weapons, upgrades and more at blackmarket.
Defeat bosses and find out the story behind. Elite enemies will show no mercy to those weakened; any mistake you make may lead to Perma Death. So, stay curious, but most importantly, stay cautious.
What emerges from the sea remains unpredictable, so prepare to face procedurally generated monster squads, thus each run is unique! Slay hordes of monsters before they halt your progress.
If you fail, most unfortunately, you will lose all your progress. Yet don't panic at all, all the resources you've collected this run will be automatically used for unlocking new ships from the shipyard. Each time you die, you die with honor. Pick your favorite ship, wield your favorite weapon, and get ready to smash through the sea in this bloodshed.
Hopefully, you will manage to escape from this Hopeless Sea!
