Surviving The Aftermath is out in early entry as we speak


PDXCON, Paradox Interactive’s conference in Berlin, simply kicked off its announcement present with the information that Surviving The Aftermath, the post-apocalyptic colony supervisor introduced last week, s out in early entry as we speak. Despite its identify, and the actual fact it’s a survival-based settlement builder, it’s not obtained a lot in widespread with final yr’s Surviving Mars, and is being produced by a special group, Finnish studio Iceflake.

I obtained to play it for a few hours yesterday, and I’d describe it because the colony supervisor for everybody who obtained actually into the settlement constructing in Fallout 4. The tone, too, could be very latter-day Fallout – whereas not precisely enjoying the apocalypse for laughs, it’s nowhere close to as bleak as Frostpunk, for instance. It’s obtained waste-scavenging and recycling mechanics harking back to fellow apocalyptic builder Flotsam, and feels a bit like Banished to play – solely with extra precise content material. Some of that content material consists of insect farms, meteor showers, radiation and a travelling service provider who bears a bizarre resemblance to Doctor Robotnik.

Most of the game takes place within the basic, top-down view you’d count on from a colony sim, however there’s additionally a hex-based world map the place you may ship survivors to scavenge, discover and battle with bandits who look so much like Bane. While I favored the town-building bits, I wasn’t so eager on the zoomed-out a part of the game. But there’ll be extra to say about that later, as I’m going to be posting a correct preview of the game this night.

Surviving The Aftermath is offered now in early entry on the Epic Games Store for £15.49. Paradox plan to launch the total game in late 2020, on Steam as properly.
