Tides of Tethys

About

You manage a crew of knights navigating alien ocean trenches in this real time strategy simulator. Build modular outposts to sustain your expeditions while balancing resource collection and risk mitigation. Each dive into the abyss brings encounters with unknown threats and ancient tech remnants as you attempt to reunite fractured noble houses. The base building mechanics require adapting to environmental hazards while managing squad dynamics through procedurally generated terrain. Black Rust's title stands out for its layered approach to underwater survival. The combination of base construction and knight customization creates meaningful progression even as the map reshapes each playthrough. With 12 distinct noble factions to unlock and over 40 unique biome hazards, the game maintains replayability through its risk reward system. Players report spending 20+ hours on single campaigns due to the interconnected systems of technology discovery and territorial expansion.
