Press Quotes
“Two of the best survival games combine as 'Raft meets Rust' in underwater base-builder Sunkenland.” GamesRadar+ “If players want to feel like they are trying to survive in an ocean-covered world, fighting for resources and fending off mutants, Sunkenland will likely be up their street” Game Rant “The idea of constructing a base and defending it from NPCs adds a new layer to the genre” Gaming Bible
