Description

You’re A Small Fish In A Big Apocalypse.

Scavenge and fight for your next day alive under the shadow of gargantuan war machines. Enemies in the game can literally tower over the battlefield. To put it another way:

War. War Always Changes.

The battlefield is unpredictable thanks to The Forever Winter’s Dynamic Encounter system: enemies have their own goals and agendas, operating in coordinated groups, undertaking full-scale battles — and they’ll intelligently react to your actions. The battlefield you leave won’t be the same one you return to.

Only The Smart Survive - But Guns Help.

Use your wits, stealth, and skilled gunplay to make it out alive. Choose your path in the shadow of the two great superpowers, loot the dead, and make it out alive. While the warring factions may ignore you at first, the more disruptive you become to their goals, the more they'll seek to remove you from the equation.

A Grim Vision Of The Future.

Ecological collapse compounded by runaway technological advancement brought us here: a world choked by 40 years of industrial-scale violence between two military superpowers, unmerciful mass killing by AI automata, human-machine hybrids, and the bleak truth of human nature. There’s two sides to this war, and you’re not on either.

This is my first extraction shooter of this genre. After playing for a little over 10 hours and visiting four of the various zones, I've decided that this game was worth buying half-off during the summer sale. I would

Honestly Great Game, but unfortunately I cannot recommend it if you want to play coop at all. P2P setup is extremely hard to connect and although SOME games are doable start to finish, MOST (90% in my experience), are

In its current state - absolutely not. While the core ideas, characters, music and aesthetic are cool and good, there are numerous issues that occur that make it impossible to recommend. To be blunt - I would not buy
