Sea Rogue: An International Quest For Sunken Treasure

Sea Rogue is the one of its kind game that simulates a team of sea treasure hunters - not pirates from the past, but quite modern, if you can call it that, "crooks" equipped with the latest technology. You manage a team of fraudulent searchers and we can teach each member of the team different skills and improve them (diving, experience with an expert to evaluate things found, or ship repair technicians). The gameplay is very detailed and consists of several game modes: for example, there are several types of maps, there is an opportunity to look at the underwater life through the eyes of a diver who descended there... Interestingly, all the sunken ships in the game are real, the guide to them provides detailed information (name, where and when (approximately) they sank, what and in what size can be found), and it must be used to successfully achieve your goal of earning make money by selling treasures obtained from the seabed. Of course, there are also enemies - competing searchers, but they can not only be "overcome" when you find a better treasure, or faster, but you can also fight them (using weapons on the ship). The graphics in the game are not amazing, but even so (especially in the underwater mode) it looks quite nice. In general, this is another game in which "graphics are not the main thing", it is a unique and unrivaled phenomenon in the field of games.
