![]() I don’t think the survival theme in games is going to stop anytime soon. Which gets back to my question, why have they been so prevalent lately? I believe it’s because of this cross-genre appeal that brings in new players that like the setting or a bit more challenge and focus. In fact, it may even attract gamers that aren’t fans of city-builders. It offers a challenge to even seasoned city-builder fans. In general, city-builders tend to be strategy games you play at your own pace with more of a sandbox approach that lets you define your own goals.īut survival city-builders throw that relaxed pace out of the window and puts pressure on you. The thing about survival elements in a city-builder is that it completely repositions what city-builders are supposed to be. It may not have been the most popular game in this genre, but Banished surely was an inspiration to many of these developers. I’m pretty sure this trend in the city-builder genre started from the indie title Banished. Survival elements themselves have been in trend in other genres such as shooters, so this isn’t exactly a unique thing within the city-builder subgenre. Surviving the Aftermath, Endzone: A World Apart, Viking City Builder, Manor Lords and Against The Storm are just a few of the games that will release on the horizon. ![]() I got to say city-builders, in general, have seen a resurgence for the past couple of years, with games like ANNO 1800 which was one of the best games of the year when it was released back in 2019.īut the survival variant of city-builder has undoubtedly been the recent trend within this subgenre. Like a lot of these games pretty ambitious stuff for a debut game for a new development studio. It gives the same spiel about surviving, conquering and thriving. You’ll find all you need to know about Frozenheim on the Steam page here. Can’t say if Frozenheim will be any special or stand out from the bunch. At least, when you look at the sheer number of them being developed. Instead, violent weather events, such as sandstorms and drought, will be some of the main obstacles.These survival city-builders are just becoming rather popular. But unlike its competitors, Endzone – A World Apart won’t see players face off against ghastly ghouls and irradiated monstrosities. Much like its genre peers likes Surviving Mars, Frostpunk, or Surviving the Aftermath, players use the tools at their disposal to build housing structures, develop a functioning electrical system, and maintain stable water and food supplies.
