Living on Mars? Easy. Even that meme fool may have the ability to do it. But dwelling on Earth? That’s a problem. Especially for those who’re not one of many self-important squillionaires planning to piss off to a different planet (or Middle-Earth) as soon as we totally destroy Earth. So after providing the straightforward future in colony-building administration sim Surviving Mars, Paradox immediately introduced Surviving The Aftermath. They describe it as a “post-apocalyptic survival colony builder” and… that’s about all they need to say proper now. That future, eh?
That actually is about all they’ll inform us immediately. Expect extra throughout PDXCon, their annual fan conference, on October 19th. They don’t even say which sort of apocalypse we’ll face. Climate change? Cataclysmic earthquake? Meteor strike? Zombies? One deity or one other urgent their private reset button? Friendly ol’ nuclear armageddon? Either method, I assume we’ll be attempting to construct a wee settlement in a hostile atmosphere.
Surviving The Aftermath is because of launch “in late 2020” on Steam and the Epic Games Store. It will undergo early entry earlier than then, thoughts, operating by Epic’s retailer “later this year.” So Epic get exclusivity throughout early entry, different shops get it when it’s carried out? Alrighty.
Our former Alec (RPS in peace) appeared to get pleasure from life on Haemimont’s crimson planet final 12 months in his Surviving Mars review, with some reservations. wanted additional time and a very good few patches and additions to essentially repair it up, as our Nate stated this 12 months when reviewing its Green Planet expansion:
“If it had launched on this state (even at the next value), my hand would have slammed that Bestest Best sticker throughout it. Even now, it’s a marvellous realisation of an SF fantasy, even when it’s taken fourteen months to get there. But then, Mars wasn’t terraformed in a day, was it?
“Surviving Mars, it turned out, was little greater than a plucky little rover, diligently raking the regolith to make a spot for the primary rocket to the touch down. Now, nevertheless, the eagle has landed, and it’s a bloody pretty fowl.”
I’m now fascinated by a stunning fowl.
Surviving Mars might be free for keepsies later this week on the Epic Games Store, from October 10th to 17th.
