From the Depths vs Starmade

From the Depths lets you design and pilot battleships, submarines, aircraft, hot‑air balloons, space vessels and countless other creations, then take first‑person command in massive battles. The game blends deep engineering, strategic campaigning, and fast‑paced combat across land, sea, air, and space. Its single‑player modes include a creative sandbox, a strategic campaign across hundreds of islands, story missions for each faction, and an adventure mode that starts you on a raft. Multiplayer adds co‑op design, adversarial skirmishes, and full campaign co‑op for friends.

Currently in Alpha, Starmade is free‑to‑play and runs on Linux, PC, and Mac, delivering a sci‑fi experience that blends shooter action, role‑playing, simulation, and strategy elements.
