Surviving the Aftermath - Surviving in a post-apocalyptic world

Surviving the Aftermath is a city-building game developed by Haemimont Games. It was released on October 19, 2019 as an Early Access title, initially exclusive to PC players on the Epic Games Store. A full release on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 is planned for 2020. The city-building title is a sequel to Surviving Mars and will also be published by Paradox Interactive.

Building a Colony in the Post-Apocalypse

Unlike in Surviving Mars, the players of Surviving the Aftermath are not on a foreign planet, but on Earth after an apocalyptic event. Here it is up to the player to ensure the survival of the colonists and to withstand the dangers in the devastated, resource-poor game world. For this purpose, over 50 building types are available to cover the basic needs of the colony.

This includes not only the adequate supply of food, but also the safety of the colonists, among other things. In order to advance the colony, specialists can be recruited step by step, who contribute to the survival of all inhabitants with their individual skills. For example, they can explore the environment outside the colony or take on dangerous looters.

A world full of dangers, but also full of possibilities

The game world, which can be gradually explored by the colonists, is divided into six different eco-zones, each with its own vegetation, a special climate and different resources. Each zone has its own individual features and presents the settlers with new challenges.

The dangers that players have to face include not only brutal bandits, but also devastating environmental disasters that threaten the survival of the colony.
