At first it’s [[JustifiedTrope justified]] because the aliens manage managed to briefly knock out the ship’s defense grid with a surprise in the opening moments of the attack, but after forcing you to hold them off long enough for the crew to bring it comes back online and online. Once it ''does'' come back online, however, the trope is promptly [[InvertedTrope turned on its head]] as the Hastings’ guns proceed to [[CurbStompBattle annihilates annihilate every single one of the dozens of alien fighters attacking it in approximately seven seconds]].

On January 10, 2445 A.D. (That was 450 years into TheFuture back in the day, for those keeping score), the aliens entered our Solar System. Humanity did not know much about them, except that they had entered our oceans upon arrival, their technology was far in advance of our own, and they were slowly flooding the planet. As seen in the game's intro movie, the Global Space Initiative's defence forces were unable to stop more than one of their gigantic ships and the planetside navies didn't fare much better.
Five years later, the Earth Oceans Alliance is preparing a counterattack with a new, experimental hydrofighter called the Hydra that can handle the extreme pressures at which the aliens operate. Unfortunately, the base at which they are being tested comes under attack from the aliens and only a few of them survive. As one of the few survivors of the attack (and certainly the best), it is your mission to strike back against the alien menace and save the world from ruin.

!Deadly Tide contains examples of:
* {{AFGNCAAP}}
* CoolBoat: The Hydra itself and the Hastings, an underwater command ship that doubles as a carrier for the hydrofighters.
* HeroicSacrifice: The unnamed squad leader in the intro and, ultimately, the Lieutenant himself.
* HollywoodTactics: There are times where the Hydra will just sit perfectly still while shooting at oncoming enemies. Many times.
* MadeOfExplodium: ''Everything''.
* TakingYouWithMe: "Welcome to Earth."
