Reception

Scale the Depths understands the incremental game space and applies its core ideas to fishing efficiently. The loop made up of fishing, cleaning, feeding, and upgrading moves fast, generates a constant sense of progression, and leads to fun reveals and end of the biome big hunts. Unlocking new cosmetics feels unnecessary.

Overall, I think Scale the Depths is an enjoyable way to spend a few hours; the fishing element is fun, tending to your customers is quite interesting and the preparation of the fish is just strangely relaxing

Scale the Depths is one of those deceptively simple indie games that quietly becomes incredibly hard to put down. The gameplay loop is satisfying, the fishing feels rewarding, fish preparation is strangely relaxing, and the constant stream of upgrades gives you plenty of reasons to keep diving back in for “just one more run.” It’s not some ultra-hardcore...

After I entered the 3 biome in Scale The Depths, it was becoming a little too repetitive for me. I enjoy fishing games, and the game-play loop isn’t terrible, but it also wasn’t up my alley either. Controls are simple, even more so If you stick to just using the mouse. And each environment adds something a little different. But it became stale too quickly...
