What does Surviving the Aftermath entail?
According to the Steam page, Surviving the Aftermath requires players to “survive and thrive in a post-apocalyptic future.” To do so, players must “build the ultimate disaster proof colony, protect your colonists, and restore civilization to a devastated world.” The game allows players to “construct more than 61 unique buildings to” accomplish various tasks as well as “recruit over 80 unique Specialists, each with their own skills and motivations.” Additionally, players can “explore a vast procedurally generated world featuring six different biomes filled with resources, wildlife, rival societies and more.” Along the way, players must “make moral choices” that “can have dire consequences on [their] colony’s survival.”
With Surviving the Aftermath now finally leaving Early Access, gaming enthusiasts can see the result of over two years worth of player feedback and fine-tuning. So far, the game has only gotten better reception over time. Hopefully, that trend continues with the final release.
