Since their succesful Kickstarter bagged double their goal, Poland-based The Farm 51 have introduced that their formidable Stalker-esque survival horror Chernobylite will enter Steam Early Access on the 16th of October, with a full launch an estimated 10 to 14 months later. It’s a game, not a mineral or a low-calorie energy plant.
By 2030, 12% of individuals on Earth may have labored on a game set in or round Pripyat, however this one seems prefer it’s doing its personal factor slightly than blindly copying. The environments, 3D scanned from the true space, look slightly shiny too. You can see for your self beneath.
Stalker-ish games are likely to seize all of the messy jank of the original mutant-dodging trilogy however none of its compelling ambiance or setting. Chernobylite seems to be aiming for a story-driven method, as you search the exclusion zone 30 years after shedding your girlfriend there, whereas dodging monsters and interacting with the native Stalkers, for good or ailing.
The devs promise stated story is “non-linear, unpredictable and fully dependent on player’s decisions, which leads to many possible endings”, provide survival and crafting bits, and an insistence that each one the AI lads have their very own agenda and shouldn’t be trusted. Good for them.
The Farm 51 have but to essentially knock a game out of the park, however Alec Meer (all bow) was slightly taken with Get Even, regardless of some wonky bits, and I’ve a little bit of a tender spot for his or her 2009 WWI-triggers-apocalypse horror shooter Necrovision. Which was additionally janky and full of excellent concepts accomplished a bit fallacious. Perhaps they’re precisely the fitting individuals to drag this one off.
You can regulate Chernobylite on Steam.
