Like Minecraft or any sandbox games, you are free to build any base you like (underground, in the sky, or a proper medieval castle with a moat and a drawbridge) as long as you've got the materials (a.k.a. If the soundtrack is anything like that and fits the game's medieval setting, then it'll definitely be a hit in my books.50 Games Like Colony Survival Simulation Colony Survival is a voxel-based town-building simulation game that emphasizes on ensuring the survival (and expansion) of your colony of people, be it by making sure they have enough food to not starve to death or by stationing enough archers around the parameter of your castle walls to repel zombies. Whenever I play, I just tend to throw on some good ol' Stronghold Kingdoms music which really immerses me in the game. The game in it's current state doesn't have a soundtrack, though one is being added soon. The map wilderness is kind of green and bland, but that's bound to change as more things are added with the game's frequent incoming updates. The textures for the gear/items are also pretty well done and neat.
The game doesn't try to overdue itself and the art-style really fits the gameplay. When you look at Colony Survival's blocky and basic graphics, you'll instantly think Minecraft.
When it comes towards it's soundtrack, well, it's not really there yet but they do have a music volume button which hints at one being added soon, so we'll see. The developers stated that the multiplayer is nowhere near finished which gives me hope that they'll be adding tons more to do.Ĭolony Survival has a basic yet unique art-style that I personally thoroughly enjoy. I'd love to be able to wage war on other colonies and watch our armies fight it out. If you're looking to play co-op with a friend then it can be fun, but the game currently has no system or way of fighting other players or attacking other colonies which to me is a serious downside. If you crank up the difficulty all the way though, the zombies start to become a more consistent and serious threat that can be more fun to deal with.Ĭurrently the game does have a functioning multiplayer but it barely works. With lower difficulty settings, the zombies are really easy to deal with and more of a nuisance if anything. You'll also only be fighting the game's current and only enemy, zombies. The game's only current weapon is a bow and it's not that satisfying to use. The combat in Colony Survival is rather bland. If you're looking for a game where you play more around building, managing, and playing an RTS in first person real time, then this is more the game for you.
If you want a game where you do most the stuff yourself and get tons of action, Colony Survival won't have it, at least in it's current state. I found that instead of grinding, fighting and so on, with Colony Survival you rather have the NPCs do that all for you, manage them and build/expand your settlement while everything else goes on. There is some grinding to be done in the game by you, but majority of it, especially later on is mostly done by your colonist NPCs that you setup and manage. As a player, your job is to build a settlement and start your own colony, creating colonists who work for you in a variety of different jobs. There isn't really any tutorial to help players figure out the game's mechanics, which I found irritating at first, but once you get over the game's early learning curve, things really start to kick off. I found that for how early in development this game is, it's actually tons of fun once you get a hold of things. Colony Survival at it's roots is a voxel-based real time strategy game where your goal as the player is to build, run and defend a colony against both nature as well the undead threat.
