Tiles, teeth, and terrible diseases
There’s something so intriguing about a newsurvival game.
Understandably, a meteorite falls on Corpse Creek and causes a zombie apocalypse.
The residents of Corpse Creek shouldn’t have expected any different.
Aiyana must survive in this now dangerous land, and it seems pretty small at first.
This isn’t just a fancy way to handle procedural generation, though.
As you might expect, that made Frozen Flame much more objective-oriented than many other survival games.
You level up by collecting Frozen Flame from regular enemies, which is a silly way of saying XP.
Even early on I was struggling to find enough trees and stones to make basic items.
Dysterra
Dysterraplaces you on a ruined yet very sci-fi Earth at some point in the future.
There’s also a resource called Terrasite that you use to power your fancy sci-fi tech.
What made Dysterra stand out was that it’s actually a decentFPSas well.
That’s when I spotted a few players in the distance.
Be warned, though, that it will want a lot of your time.
I was told before logging out that my character might starve to death while I’m gone.
The guide character Hamish is permanetly in a very aggressive pose.
Raubritter didn’t offer anything new, really.
Unfortunately, I had found no leather.
My Raubritter journey came to an end.
I recommend trying this on the basis that such classic jank is hard to find these days.
Honestly, though, it probably wasn’t demo-ready.
Unlike other survival games, however, Retreat To Enen also emphasises mindfulness.
The sparkling blue lagoons beg you to take a dive, and the lush forests hide few dangers.
As someone who has basically forgotten how to relax, that was a really nice touch.
