It’s nice that Surviving the Aftermath provides each of your colonists with a bit of personal flair including their own wants and needs. I find this method of narrative-based difficulty customization much more immersive than toggling a few drop-down texts or buttons. Through these storyline-like choices, you can determine such things as how many colonists you start a game with, how scarce resources are, the overall frequency of random disasters, and the like. One of the things that I really liked about Surviving the Aftermath is that from the outset, you are presented with a multitude of thematic background choices that dictate how challenging the game’s overall difficulty will be. Also, just like Planetfall, each game of Surviving the Aftermath features a procedurally-generated map. However, the overland map, in particular, has recently received a new coat of graphical paint and looks absolutely gorgeous it is now reminiscent of another beautifully-designed game that Paradox Interactive publishes called Age of Wonders: Planetfall. This, in turn, opens the game up from your colony map to the more expansive overland map.īoth maps are well done and very detailed. In order to gain access to those, you’ll have to hire Specialists who are adept at acquiring them. Some of the more advanced resources that your colony will need to obtain are scattered around outside of your colony’s domain. From there, you’ll move onto gathering wood and stone and many more resources that the game world provides. Food and water are, of course, of paramount importance at the start of the game. This means you’ll have to do things such as planning where to place structures in order to yield the best results for their efficiency. You’ll manage a small group of colonists who will have to collect resources and build up their meager starting colony in order to survive. As you’d probably guess from the title, the game’s setting is a dangerous post-apocalyptic world where scattered groups of survivors are locked in a life or death struggle for survival.
Iceflake Studios has taken influences from both colony management and city builder games alike, and created an amalgam of both with their new title, Surviving the Aftermath. Others have been great games, such as the Anno series, but they’ve also a little too complex for many people’s tastes.

Some of them were very well done, such as the colony survival sim, RimWorld (which has garnered a massive underground audience since its full release back in 2018), while others were a crashing bore, like 2017’s Aven Colony. Over recent years, there has been a marked rise in the number of both colony management and city builder simulators, all across the gaming market.
