"Deep Down" Looks Like A Dangerous Dungeon (Video)

Capcom's upcoming next-gen free-to-play dungeon crawler Deep Down debuted some new footage earlier this week on a Japanese stream, showing off some of the game's monsters, spells and suitably dank environments. The six short clips (strung together in the video above) seems to give a good idea of what this promising RPG will play like this, with real time combat and a significant focus on exploration – the dungeons in the game are randomly generated, after all.

What looks really promising about Deep Down, apart from how its extremely impressive next-gen lighting and effects really capture an evocative sense of being in a fetid, underground labyrinthe, is the use of traps and the frenetic feel of combat, which captures a sensibility somewhere between the Souls series and Capcom's own Dragon's Dogma. (Also the fact that it is again, very strangely, free-to-play, despite seeming to have none of the ugly trappings of the genre. Here's hoping.)

In any case, Deep Down is shaping up to be a compelling next-gen experience. It should be out later this year.
