Platinum #276-278: Deep Ones (EU Vita & PS4, NA PS4)

Hey there!

Another quick & easy triple Platinum.

What is the game all about?

In Deep Ones, you take control of an unnamed diver who crashed with his submarine. Reason for his crash is a giant red octopus.

The game is an easy, but surprisingly very diversified, 2D platformer. Of course, most of the time you’re walking from left to right, but you also must do things like riding a sea-horse, taking down enemy ships with a cannon and fighting bosses.

The enemies you encounter during the game are fairly easy to beat. A few hits with your harpoon or your sword will take them down. But watch out, you also can only take a few hits. If the hit you too often, or you fall down an abyss, you’re dead. Luckily, there are a lot of checkpoints. Thus, you won’t lose much of your progress.

The boss fights in Deep Ones can be tough, if you don’t know what to do. But once you figure out their patterns, they’re easy too.

The graphics of the game are pretty weird. I know, it’s meant to be retro but to be honest, it just looks strange. But once you get used to it, you realize that the graphics fit to the game. Same goes for the soundtrack.

On PS4, the controls are good, but on Vita, they could have been better. I had the feeling that the X button hasn’t always reacted as I wanted to.

What about trophies?

The game has story as well as kill related trophies and some missables. If you watch out for the missables, you will get most of the trophies in one playthrough. Especially watch out for “Safe landing” and “Jelly fish party”. They come very late in the game and if you miss them, you need to replay nearly the whole game again. The rest of the trophies should unlock while going for “My dad Black Beard”, for which you need to kill the ship’s captain 3 times.

Please note that “We have fins for lunch” is glitchy. For this trophy, you must kill 20 sharks. There’s only one part in the game in which you must fight sharks so you need to grind the kills here. Simply kill one shark and kill yourself afterwards. Do this 20 times and the trophy will unlock.

Where can I get this game?

Deep Ones is available in the EU and NA store. Each store has a separate version for PS4 and Vita, each having its own trophy stack. Thus, you can unlock up to 3 Platinum Trophies with this game. Sadly, the game isn’t cross-buy.

If you need PSN cards, you can buy them at play-asia.com or at scdkey.come. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?

Yes, you should get every version you can. It’s easy, can be completed quite quickly and if you like platformers, you might also enjoy this one.
