Humanity has always been fascinated with what lies below the depths, and there are plenty of video games that try to highlight the underwater world in exciting and echanting ways. Next week, Red Dunes Games and Agate Games will put their drop in the gaming ocean when Port of Jumanah drops on PC and PlayStation. With a mix of unique style and roguelite gameplay, you’ll find yourself taking on wave after wave as you go through the storytelling ripples the title offers. Okay, enough water puns. Here’s the synopsis and trailer:

“Port of Jumanah is a captivating mix of fast-paced 2.5D roguelite combat, underwater exploration, colourful characters, and a healthy dose of absurdity, inspired by the ancient pearl-diving traditions of the Arabian Peninsula region. Our hero Mansour was a happy-go-lucky pearl diver who got more than he bargained for when he popped open a mysterious Black Giant Clam and released a whole world of trouble…

You’ll meet a memorable cast along the way. Welcome a formidable pirate lady, a wise old turtle, an extraordinarily rich but unusual girl, and a playful genie who seems to enjoy teasing everyone around her…”

Other features of the game include:

• Dive into a vibrant world inspired by Arabian Peninsula pearl-diving traditions.
• Master fast-paced roguelite combat beneath the waves.
• Recover the mysterious black pearls to save the sea.
• Build your loadout with the right weapons, gadgets, and crew before every dive.
• Take on powerful guardians at the end of every region.
• Return to port to uncover stories, complete quests, and prepare for your next dive.
• 6 hours of adventure, plus extra challenges for completionists.
• Rescue cute frogs, because every hero needs a side quest.

The game drops on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and PlayStation on September 7th! Don’t get washed out when you play it, though!
