Screen the visitors dying to get off the planet and more than willing to risk being turned into canned food, incinerated or hired as one of the factory’s employees. The pros and cons of each fate are debatable.
-
Manage the factory floor, construct new facilities and upgrade the research center. Resources are finite, so try to make sure things don’t fall apart before the ship takes off.
-
Hire staff with unique quirks, fears and prejudices. Promote hard workers and keep them pampered with improved amenities. As for the lazy ones…they get sent to a special room in the darkest corner of the factory.
-

Sheltered
I have updated this review after I tried the release 1.0 version. My verdict is largely the same.
The game has definitely improved since my impressions from Early Access, and can, if the developers keep improving it here after release 1.0, in time have enough gameplay to make it fun (not quite there yet). At the moment it has some flaws that makes the game unbearable to play for me.
No in-game pause:
One big flaw is the fact that this the inability to pause in-game.
This is a game about survival where you have to manage a lot of things that constantly degrade and break down and the more people you have and the bigger your shelter gets, the more this will require your attention. Sure, it is no problem at the start, but it quickly becomes a problem. Many of the things require attention fast and especially when a lot of things are happening at once does this problem really show itself. Only way to pause is by going to the options menu where you can’t see nor interact with anthing. It is unnecessarily stressing and just makes you frustrated in stead of adding anything to the game.

Sheltered is a little bit This War of Mine, a little bit Fallout Shelter and a touch of… something altogether different. All in all I really enjoyed this game and felt like I really got my monies worth. I picked up Sheltered during a Humble Bundle survival sale but I would have gladly paid full price for it. The following is a detailed summary of what Sheltered does well and a couple small areas where it falls a bit short.
Graphics - I list this first because visuals are highly subjective. I loved the retro styled pixelated graphics of Sheltered and often found myself impressed by how well the minimalist graphics were able to convey the gritty emotions of a post apocalyptic world. For some this visual style may be a turn-off but I recommend giving the game a chance anyway.

UNKNOWN REGION
Remember JUST SURVIVE, it was my favourite game till it was dropped by Makers.Hooray to the makers of UNKNOWN REGION, it is awesome in so many ways: Heaps of cool cars, weapons, the wildlife is unbelievable; playing is so good its hard to stop.

This is a great game. Survive against mutated humans, creature, bears, wolves etc. The crafting system is incredible, very elaborate & well thought out, also with the newly added trader system. Work out how to craft scrap metal to make the game easier to survive. Building is enjoyable also but you can live in the RV at the spawn location & place objects inside. Congratulations to the Developer Sydney Games for producing this game.

Fallout Shelter
War… war never changes. Unless it’s Fallout Shelter.
So I’ve been playing Fallout Shelter for quite a long time and I’m sure i got everything I could out of this game.
It was fun. 101% fun playing. Every single quest, every event and the whole idea of it is pure fun. Even the grind I had to deal with makes the game more fascinating. The “cartoonish” and “cardboard” art-style makes it look cute and adorable. It is a humorous family-friendly game which anyone is suitable to play.
The idea of Fallout Shelter is simple: You start with several dwellers and a Vault to populate. You build new rooms, increase population with newcomers or “relations”, get resources, make and find some equipment, well… you expand and progress. NB: There is no “aging” in FS.

Survive the Fall
A global cataclysm has brought an end to civilization as we know it.
Finally, after many years of darkness, sudden climate changes, numerous fires, extreme temperature fluctuations, an eternal has come over the planet and the conditions allowed you to try to explore the post-apocalyptic Earth.
As one of the survivors, you will have to survive in this hostile world, find other allies and with their help build a new settlement - for only as a close-knit community will you be able to survive these harsh, new times.
Not everyone will be friendly… the fight for the resources left over from the remnants of civilization can be brutal…
SURVIVE
Gather precious resources so you don’t die of hunger or cold.
Light fires, craft weapons and items, hunt and don’t get killed.
EXPLORE
Explore an open world full of dangers, secrets, and valuable artifacts. Admire the views and the wildlife that dominates the land. Be careful in the forests… it’s easy to get lost.
The asteroid left behind more than a big hole in the Earth… Beware!
BUILD AND MANAGE A SETTLEMENT
Create a new settlement that will grow and the resources it produces will help you in your missions.
Remember, only a good commander who wisely uses limited resources will be able to win the respect of others.
ASSEMBLE A TEAM
Assemble a team that will help you survive and support you in battle. Decide whether you want to go on missions with support, or if you prefer to leave your companions to guard and take care of the base. Take care of their health and condition.
AVOID DANGERS
Sneak around and, if necessary, face opponents in open combat. Remember, however, that ammunition is severely limited, medicine is scarce, and every companion is worth his or her weight in gold. Is it worth the risk?
Main Features:
-
a world full of secrets
-
a survivalist approach to gameplay
-
team and resource management
-
construction and development of the settlement
Infection Free Zone
“The Mad Virus” has spread throughout the world with the speed of jet planes. The infected are highly aggressive, fast and strong.
In a couple of weeks, society collapsed. Cities are empty. There is no electricity, no water, and no food. Yet, there are a few survivors…
Type in the name of the city or town, download the map and start playing! Thanks to OpenStreetMap’s real-world data you can choose any place in the world for your survivors.
Establish a new “Infection Free Zone” wherever you choose. Set up shelters and production facilities. Adapt existing buildings to new needs. Build new farms and power houses. Establish defenses with walls, gates and towers.
Utilize your knowledge of the city. What is the best place to defend? Where were the grocery stores, where were the pharmacies? Where would you look for weapons?
Remember that it’s dangerous to search the old buildings, there might be some infected lurking in the dark!
Each night your settlement might be attacked by large hordes of the infected. Fight them off with every tool available - melee and ranged weapons, vehicles, walls and light. Research a vaccine or a cure for ultimate victory, or just enjoy rebuilding entire cities!
Your Zone is not the only one that exists. Your survivors will surely find other surviving groups. Some will be friendly and willing to trade, but others will be extremely hostile. There might be some fighting involved!
Judgment: Apocalypse Survival Simulation
This is probably the game I played the longest while still being unsure if it is actually good. And I didn’t even finish it.
Story
J:A.S.S is a base-building survival simulation as the name suggests. There was a zombie demon apocalypse, you and a few others have survived the initial carnage but now you have to ensure your longterm survival. Maybe you can even find out what happened and if you can fix it!
Gameplay
Gameplay is divided between classic base building - farm food and resources, craft advanced materials, provide everything for your group of survivors, build defenses - and combat, which is itself divided between defending your camp and exploring different locations for materials and for clues about what happened to cause all of this.

TL/DR: Judgement simulator mixes Xcom’s unforgiving struggle for survival while capturing alot of the base-building and character nuance of rimworld. It’s intense and wild at first, but eventually becomes dull by not maintaining the level of challenge. Unforgiving, and not for the faint of heart.
I’m reserving judgement on this one for now (no pun intended). It’s a good skeleton of a game, but missing content in terms of story missions, and weak variety of enemies and gear. Awesome vision, but only good (read: above average, but not great) implementation. Sometimes I think I’m harder on good games with untapped potential, than on bad games; I may be leaning that way on this one. They say a full release is coming in the next few months with new enemies and story missions, along with a price increase, so I’ll probably have to re-evaluate this review after I see what it looks like.

Earth 2160
Earth 2160 is a somewhat unappreciated RTS with a number of nice features mixed in with a truckload of bland. It will provide some decent entertainment in the here and now but it will never be remembered for anything.
Earth 2160 sets you in the future, corporations fight for control over the Solar System’s dwindling resources as a new discovery rocks the power structure and sets the game’s events in motion. As you start out you get to play as either a generic male dominated corporation or the curiously female dominated Mars corporation. They both, not surprisingly, turn out to be evil rather quickly into the campaign and you eventually get to play as the “good” faction, a generic robot corporation that really has no personality and eventually, a menacing alien horde.

I finally got down and finished the game all the way through, after nearly completing it some 12 years ago, and then not-even-close to finishing it some 5 years ago, so I’m naturally biased with nostalgia, but I think it’s an overall great rts, but sadly with a few shortcomings that can ruin the experience if you can’t or can’t be arsed to learn to avoid them.
The graphics in the game are often complimented, and at times they’re really amazing for 2005, but it kinda depends where you look. What I’m most impressed with though, is that each of the four factions has a COMPLETELY different gameplay. Literally every mechanic is altered: completely different vehicles with completely different types weapons, different ways to harvest resources (which require very different planning and sometimes microcontrol), different ways to set up bases and interconnect buildings, different defence systems (which require completely different base layout), etc. It’s literally a different game depending on what faction you play with, which is incredibly enjoyable. Crucially, the factions are all really well balanced, so that every faction has a fair chance against every other. Together with expansive unit customisation and cool base expansion options, it makes for tremendously fun gameplay once you get a hold of the basic faction mechanics. On top of that, the soundtrack is wicked!

Nayati River
Send one squad to clear the roads send one to scavenge send one to build at camp send one in different zones to scout yea this is my jam love the game. Does have a learning curve that will frustrate a few players i my self took it as a challenge ( scratched my head for a bit trying to get my team to unload vehicle into warehouse side note they wont unload whats not clicked to unload open vehicle inventory and select items you want to transfer) . Vehicles is the key to survive do not use a slow van to clear the packs use a fast one and drift! takes practice but works use the back of the vehicle to take them out if a zed is behind you on the right side make a left and a right if its on the rear left do not drive away from them and then turn around and drive right into them that will kill the vehicle fast. Different survivors have different skills and buffs use those fast ones to break up a large pack of zed and let them chase you back to your vehicle to take out (thin the herd) speed 10 survivors cant be caught when running away.There is a lot to this game i barely made it to the industrial zone and sank 20 hours playing, remember to put on backpacks walkie talkies and head lamps when you find them and more cloths to increase your resistance and train when you learn how to make training buildings just know the dead will come for you at your camp when its big enough they will notice and you will have to defend from raids. Having a blast with this game i highly recommend.Just a side note where you start is not the only camp you can make, that one is not to good the warehouse is to far from the vehicles that need to be unloaded use the one in the farm lands.have fun i know i will.

Great game. Somewhere between Project zomboid and state of decay. Took me awhile to get the hang of the User interface and basically not getting eaten. But if you stick with it you will see a unique zombie survival experience. Great resource management system. The Dev is very busy adding improvements and updates based on community questions and peeves.
Train your people! I waited to long to get my training going and making everyone capable of protecting themselves. One thing I love is once you have a well armed-trained group and a couple of armored vehicles, scavenging becomes something different. I send out a caravan of several armored vehicles and the game starts to feel like an RTS.
