Description

Survive and thrive in a post-apocalyptic future — resources are scarce, but opportunity calls! Build the ultimate disaster proof colony, protect your colonists, and restore civilization to a devastated world.

Go beyond the colony and explore the wastelands to gather resources, meet rival colonies, and uncover the world’s secrets.

Surviving the Aftermath Key Features:

Build and manage a colony of survivors after a world-ending event. Construct more than 130 buildings and survive a harsh world filled with danger. Stay prepared, a natural disaster or environmental catastrophe can doom an ill-equipped settlement.

Recruit over 80 unique specialists, each with their own skills and motivations, to manage your colony’s resources. Outfit your specialists with gear to defend the colony from attacking bandits and rampaging wildlife.

Send your specialists outside your colony and into a procedurally generated world. Meet rival colony leaders and trade resources or compete for survival. Specialists can set up outposts and gather materials, giving your colony an edge.

Surviving the post-apocalypse means making impossible decisions. The colony’s fate depends on your judgement, every choice can impact your colony’s happiness and affect its future.

Specialists will stumble upon mysteries while exploring the world. Uncover secrets surrounding the apocalypse and prepare your colony for survival if it should happen again.

Apparently they have the resources to put of a swarm of DLC's, but not the resources to fix the multitude of bugs that are still present in the base game. Game itself is rather boring and to annoying. Constantly spammed

I bought this game and its not very enjoyable. The tutorials were rough and I would have to figure a lot on my own. Just meh, not sure why it has so much DLC, I hope it made it better. If you like a slow burn management

After ~10 hours of playtime I can see where I'm going to win the game, it was just that it was going to take an additional ten hours and I was no longer having fun. It's a slog of a city builder, it was decent for the

I had a detailed review on why I don't like this, but Steam ate it so my summary is just buy Endzone instead. This one is very badly thought out, with minimal focus on the fun exploration and city building parts and a

It's bad rimworld, if you're looking to play a game like this go there and download some mods. I wanted to like this game but it's just a subpar base builder to start with. Plenty of QOL features are missing and the
