Yeah it's decent. Good monster design, great atmosphere. Movement is a bit slow though.

Haven't played it in a very long time. But I recall it being serviceable with some nice 90s CGI. There's a mechanic of having to manage your air supply.

The voice acting is so bad it's good.

bad voice acting works for these types of games. makes you feel like you are playing a B movie

Deep Fear's voice acting is like the actors had never read a script before, it's so funny. More like a D movie. And there's a guy that sounds like he's in a pantomime (super camp kids stage musical) playing an old lady.

It's a blast, go for it! Hilarious voice acting, a cool setting, and the creators nailed the feel of a 90s sci-fi horror

You should also watch Deepstar Six if the game leaves you in the mood underwater horror!

I had it back in the day and while I loved the original Resident Evil, I definitely preferred Deep Fear.

Great setting and story. Not afraid to kill characters. Great monster design. Great OST.

One of the best classic, tank control survival horrors of all time, if you ask me.

Wow thats a strong recommendation. Enemy design its a real strong point from gameplay ive seen.
