Surviving the Aftermath

Good Game

не стоит ждать чегото огого, но со всеми диэлси хорошая

3/10 This game barely held my attention. It makes me think of a mobile app. Generic kind of time waster. There really isn't much to do, and I feel like I spend large amounts of time on 3x speed waiting for next day to begin. The tech tree doesn't seem impactful and seems improperly balanced/ordered. It feels like there's just endless obstacles trying to maximize game time and minimize development time. I don't think I was deceived by the promotional video. I think the plot is interesting, and the story is slow to advance. City management seems to lack a lot of quality of life. I guess people have different ideas about what makes a game a game. I guess I was expecting more of a puzzle, than trying to build up resources for random disasters. The game just feels really really dry. But if that's your thing, than this game is for you. I personally prefer more engineering puzzle kind of games.

(pt+eng) Playing and having a lot of fun! For now I bought the Dlc of the 2 radio stations (yes and they weren't on sale) - few songs but good; But what really bothers me is the fact that I can't choose the tracks!! It risks being my bronze medal for survival/city building games (and I have quite a few) alongside Surviving The Abysm (as this, if completed, could be a great game!). Guess the first 2!!! It's more fun than EndZone( boriiiiing...) and Surviving Mars (I bought it 3 years ago or more; I try it every year and it still hasn't stuck with me). (pt) Sim é um Yes! Estou a jogar e a divertir-me imenso, depois de Frostpunk e Homeseek arrisca-se a ser o medalha de bronze. EndZone é mais chatinho e os gráficos não tão divertidos. Surviving Mars també é chatinho; comprei-o há 3 anos ou mais e faço todos os anos uma tentativa mas ainda não me agarrou..) Para já, Comprei o DLC das estações de rádio. Podiam ter mais faixas; aborrece-mne o facto de não puder selecionar determinada faixa; um mood para selecionar as faixas seria muito bem vindo!!

Very good so far. Kind of Against the Storm + Surviving Mars. So far I kind of prefer it to AtS since there's not as much pressure. Tech tree is surprisingly large. Only like 30% through the game but better than I expected so far.

Base game fits right in with the city building/colony sim category, with survival mechanic that can be pretty much turn off in custom mode. The weakest part of the game is pretty much the world map. Since most buildings require different ressources, you need to send out specialist to gather rarer ressources on the world map until you can manufacture your own. As for city building, it has a variety of buildings for the colony but not that many variation of the same building.

Surviving the Aftermath is a real hidden gem of the Colony Sim genre. In a typical Colony Sim you manage hunger, warmth, and maybe happiness. In StA, you manage hydration and sickness in addition to these. You'll send specialists out into the wasteland not just to scavenge supplies but also to establish outposts which do everything from providing a steady stream of resources to attracting more survivors to your settlement. These things, in my opinion, really serve to set StA apart from similar games and also sell the post-apocalyptic setting. The only part of the base game which fell flat for me was raids. As long as you bother to maintain your gate, raids will never be a threat.
