Of course, the game is in Early Access, so we have every expectation that it will be supported and elaborated on over the course of its development, but it's clear that there are a lot of avenues left to explore. There appears to be quite a few options in terms of what you can build, but we're hoping for greater diversity further down the line. You've also got to make sure that everyone has somewhere to sleep, so that's another thing that has to scale with your earliest efforts, as you plonk down shelters to house your ragtag band of survivors. That entails making processing facilities to deal with all the scrap that's collected.
You do this by making the most of the resources (and by that we mean piles of junk and rubble) found all around the starting area.
Then, once you've picked your path, it's time to set down some roots and build a base. You'll have to build an infrastructure that can support your burgeoning community and there are a number of obstacles in the way of that, not least the pockets of radiation that adorn your starting area in the game.įirst things first, though, it's time to pick the kind of experience you'll have, and this is one thing that really impressed us as you can tweak the scenario in a number of ways, adding new obstacles to increase the challenge you'll receive. In Surviving the Aftermath, this time by Iceflake Studios, the aim of the game is to build and maintain a small community where your survivors can flourish in the wake of an apocalyptic event, but naturally, that's easier said than done.

In a similar vein, there's Surviving Mars by Haemimont Games, which it turns out was the start of a new series of death-defying strategy games. And it's not just games like They Are Billions and Frostpunk that are exploring what it's like to build a new home in adverse conditions, we've also seen the likes of Aven Colony take base-building to the stars.

The genre, which was once so dominant in the PC space, has both migrated to mobile devices and splintered into various sub-genres, but one area where we're starting to see some real innovation is the post-apocalypse. The real-time strategy scene has been stretching its legs a bit lately.
