DAVE THE DIVER is an absolute masterclass in game design and one of the most charming releases on mobile. The transition between underwater exploration and evening restaurant management creates a pitch-perfect gameplay rhythm that never wears out its welcome. Every dive into the Blue Hole feels fresh thanks to procedural elements, varied sea life, and surprising underwater encounters.
Running Bancho Sushi is equally addicting, offering rewarding progression as you recruit staff, upgrade menus, and serve eccentric guests. Packed with humor, gorgeous pixel artwork, and surprisingly deep systems, Dave the Diver is an essential, unmissable experience.
Engaging dual-gameplay loop combining action exploration and management
Charming pixel and 3D graphics hybrid art style
Rich storyline filled with quirky characters and minigames
Deep gear upgrades, weapon crafting, and farm management systems
Always watch your oxygen gauge when diving deep; oxygen acts as both your timer and health bar. Reserve high-value fish for night service to maximize restaurant revenue.
Harpoon fish during daytime oceanic dives, upgrade diving gear, and manage evening restaurant staff and menu service.
Yes, full MFi and Bluetooth game controller support is included.
I love this game. I have played it on Switch, Xbox and didn’t even have to think about buying it for iOS so that I always have it. The game play done, it jitters in a couple places but the first couple chapters have been fine. But please add iCloud save support so I can play between my iPad and iPhone. And maybe add Apple TV support in the future. But at the very least, we need cross saves.
Easily a game that you can find yourself sucked into for hours, in theory that is what I’d like to be able to say if only it didn’t suddenly close out on you! for the developers information this glitch typically seems to happen when you’re trying to start diving during the loading screen, so please try to fix this issue? the game looks really good otherwise fix whatever is causing this problem and you’ll be good Edit You know what …it’s unplayable it keeps on crashing and quitting the app over and over at the prologue for me or when I try to pick something up when I occasionally can get it to the diving part of the game (not often) and I tried to see if there was anything I could do about it but…. Nada Look devs please please pivot to fixing this issue this is not a small issue but a major one that needs addressing asap if your game isn’t playable then no matter how fun it is…. Well it’s not a great look for your team’s reputation is what I’m saying.
I stumbled into this game in search for a new app for my phone and my god.. what a game! I don’t really do pixel games either but this one for some reason caught my eye. All the 1 star people dont know this games true potential mind you, it just came out on ios. Stop nagging and enjoy this simple yet complex arcade syle game! And yes you do have to pay for the full version but the demo is more than enough!! You want free games hop on the search bar and type free😭🗣️ ANYWAYS i love this game and its a bit challenging at times but im hooked! Big thanks to the creators and audio content! Im sure all of you spent a huge amount of time working on this and did a really good job 10/10!
This has got to be the absolute best game to come out on IOS/mobile. A rich and full game with care and heart put into every inch of it. The various characters and cutscenes are just so delightful every time (*chef’s kiss.) The game cleverly combines the two genres of a restaurant sim (in this case a sushi bar) and a unique roguelite diving/fishing game with each side fueling the other (and then even adds a ton of side content on top of that.) Last thing I want to mention is that I knew it was going to be good the moment the music started; that’s a great feeling ;)
Single player, no adds, one time purchase, optional in game purchases that have no impact on the game itself besides aesthetics or dlc which only improves and expands on the game. This game has so much to uncover the story is very interactive which keeps the many dives interesting. Between events, bosses, mini games, management this gem belongs on every mobile device. I’ve been waiting on it for quite some time because I knew the controls translate to touch easy. Thank you developers for this masterpiece!
The mini game controls sometimes translate terribly to a phone, especially since you never are given instructions on how to actually complete them. Like deciphering the tablet? No idea. Nothing I do seems to do anything, and the game doesn’t tell me how, so I’ve been stuck here for 30 minutes. So while I really like a lot about this game, it’s also easily the most frustrated I’ve been playing a game in forever.
This game has such a great gameplay loop. I love listening to podcasts while I play to just turn my brain off. Performance is really good on both iPhone and iPad. The bigger screen is nice for these graphics. Cloud saves are present, but require you to manually upload and download between devices. Overall, good port so far and worth the money.
As someone else said, I was playing through the free first chapter planning on buying the rest when after the doctor started throwing up out of his ship it was just stuck there forever and no matter what I do I can’t even get in there to purchase the rest of the game, but now I don’t want to because it might stick like this. Good game so far however I’m just not gonna take a chance for something as pricey as that.
