Surviving the Aftermath

Don't like to leave negative reviews but I can't recommend this game. My main issue is a stupid bug where the specialists can't do anything on the world map and there is nothing you can do but restart the game.

Intriguing, but ultimately amounts to a bootleg Frostpunk. The zoom-out is so claustrophobic that you can only see a sliver of your colony at max distance. This also makes it even harder to navigate the already inscrutable world map, which is so bland I would get lost every single time I opened it. The game is also sorely lacking quality of life features. You can unlock better roads that allow your people to walk faster, which can be built for free - but it's not an automatic upgrade, so you have to manually rebuild every single road in your colony. You can use vehicles on the worldmap, but frankly if you challenged me to make the system as cumbersome as possible I still probably couldn't match the sheer number of mouseclicks this game expects of you. I played on medium-hard presets and found the game both too easy and too hard, in the most boring ways possible. Animal attacks can be largely ignored because they tend to destroy a few minor buildings on your outskirts, at which point the game declares that you lost the attack and all of the enemies are deleted with no further consequences. On the other hand, heat waves felt like a "rocks fall, everyone dies" moment. And last and least, the single worst omission of the game and the reason I finally lost my patience is the total inability to set building priorities. You can determine how many workers to employ in each building, but that's it. For instance, if you need more water, such as during a heat wave, your only option is to keep disabling non water buildings until eventually the workers go to water-producing buildings. In any remotely competent city builder I could simply set water buildings to high priority without needing to click on every single workplace in my colony, but not here. I just remembered one more thing I wanted to ♥♥♥♥♥ about: The constant notification spam, complete with sound effects.

"Surviving the Aftermath" delivers a compelling challenge, artfully blending survival tactics with strategic base-building in a brutal post-apocalyptic world. The game shines in its complexity and the profound sense of achievement when you navigate the perils of its harsh environment successfully. However, the hope system, intended to reflect the morale and optimism of your settlers, often feels excessively punitive. While it's realistic for hope to fluctuate in a world teetering on the edge of collapse, the system as it stands is unforgiving, punishing players harshly for setbacks and offering scant rewards for progress. A balance tweak could ensure the mechanic adds to the game's strategic depth without sapping the fun from the survival.

I'd really like to recommend it, but there is one major issue: You have to wait too much. The game is fun, complex enough and also enough things to do, but not in the speed time passes. You are very much waiting for resources to be gathered, is it in your camp or by scavenging or for new technologies to be discovered. It's just not well balanced. Everything else seems fine to me: Had no issues so far, user experience is ok (could be better, but also be much worse), enough techs in the tree etc.

Turkish language support please!

Love this game. I don't want to say it's underrated because it's actually rated quite well but I don't think it ever got the recognition it deserved. Great "city/civ building" sim game that keeps you engaged and challenged but it's not overly complicated.

I love to build mu city and fight for survival

越往后越墨迹，枯萎病真是神人设计，各种蜂后尸体清不掉还涨污染，然后各种爆发辐射或者受伤不给看源头，最离谱的是我末日地堡都磨完了，竟然还有3个营地不能加盟友，整天给他们通马桶声望早就满了，到最后连个大使馆都不给，本来还想拿到豪华公寓最后再规划一波的，不玩了，浪费时间

There is no way to terraform the terrain and it has very strict terrain boundary, and the expedition map makes me feel like I am playing a chess alike game. I think Endzone is a comparatively better game.
