Treasure Seas Incorporated

Posted by Alehkhs Wed, 02 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT


Treasure Seas Incorporated is a game from Felix Wiesner over at Mausland Entertainment. It’s an Arcade/Adventure game with RPG elements about deep-sea treasure hunting, with the player using a miniature submarine to plumb the depths in search of gold. But Neptune isn’t just handing out gold for free: the depths are full of deadly obstacles such as giant sharks, absolute darkness, and crushing pressure. Who knows what might gaze back at you from the abyss…

If all three of your submarine pilots become lost to the sea, your exploring days are through.

What I found most interesting about this game was its incorporation of Role-Playing elements into the gameplay. As the player, you can use the gold you’ve recovered to outfit your submarine with upgraded equipment, allowing you to gather more gold. These upgrades include improvements of the sub’s air-supply (for staying down longer), pressure-plating (for diving deeper), and propeller (for moving faster).

The more you refit your sub, the more gold you can get. Get enough gold and maybe you’ll earn a spot on the online Hall-of-Fame.

So take one last glance at the surface, and prepare to dive. Good hunting…

    Alex’s blog posts are so awesome, it makes 50 Cent look like Celine Dion. Always with the quality posts!

    I remember playing it a bit after you’ve recommended it to me, it’s a cute game. However, it is quite unfair since you are a marine biologist, so… BIASED REVIEW! :)

    “it makes 50 Cent look like Celine Dion”

    Is that an insult? I mean “It make crap looks like other crap” is not what I call a compliment.

    @Jean-Sebastian

    Good point, but if it makes crap look like other crap, there is no displacement of cool..

    I love the arcade feel to mausland’s games. Like Bullriding Explosive, ahh, it’s pure sex.

    All those interface tips are so freakin HUGE ! Keyboard controls are overlapping the treasure chests, so you cant see a thing.

    Gameplay looks exactly like Motherload… as someone already pointed out. But I like being redundant. And repeating things.

    Fun for the first little bit, but it’s easy to screw yourself by buying things in the wrong order. After that point the needlessly small illumination circle leads to irritating cheap shark death.
