An absolutely fantastic game. Originally purchased it on steam and bought it here too. The game does have a couple downsides though. If you don't know about survival tactics then you're gonna struggle. The biggest issue I have is justifying the price of $17. I originally bought it for $10 on steam before the price increase, which would fit much better here. Other games with more content are cheaper on here so I'm worried that the game won't get the attention it deserves.

According to my phone, I spend on average 4+ hours playing this game a day. The mechanics are surprisingly deep and realistic. The game is complex, but not annoyingly so because it's based on real life logic. It's like a lot of other survival games where you need to explore to find resources to craft things to survive, but instead of moving around spatially, movement between biomes costs time. Took me 250 in-game days to win the first time, now time to try one of the other characters!

Yeah this game is legit. Always on the lookout for good environmental survival games. This came across my radar on steam a while back but didn't think it was available on android. I run searches every few months on the app store for survival games, with different keywords and sorting options and it never once returned this game as a result. I had to specifically search card survival to find it. I think the algorithm is screwing you somehow. Anyhow. Great game. No regrets.
