If you haven’t played Aquatico yet, the underwater city-building game on Steam just got a big update, so now’s a great time to start. Cities Skylines is now even better than before. Aquatico’s second major update adds a lengthy game-spanning story quest, as well as the ability to play random creative mode.
The Aquatico update includes two new ways to play. When you start a new game, you will now have three different options to choose from. The first of these is the Sandbox mode, which those of you who have played Aquatico before will be familiar with. The second option, the story mode, is very similar but includes the Project Atlantis campaign, a long chain of missions that lasts your entire campaign.
Naturally, the team doesn’t want to give away too many details, but explains that Project Atlantis is “an incredible project carried out by all the scattered underwater colonies” of which their colony is just one of them. Each Atlantis mission has its own individual objectives, you’ll find yourself interacting with a variety of unique characters and entering a series of additional research projects as you work to “create something capable of providing a sustainable future for humanity.”
Finally, Creative Mode goes in exactly the opposite direction, removing most of the issues associated with the basic sandbox and story modes to give you the freedom to build your ultimate underwater empire. The rules of the game have changed, resources are infinite, the number of people and drones are infinite, all research projects and buildings are unlocked, and you will not face any difficulties or disasters. It’s the perfect way to relax and enjoy the peaceful pleasure of building without stress or hassle.
The Aquatico update is now available on Steam. It also includes new voiceovers, cutscenes, build menu subselections, biome map adjustments including a new one, and some bug and balance fixes. The team has provided a full changelog on their Steam page. The game is also on sale for 33% off until April 10, so you can grab it on the cheap if you move fast.
