A solarpunk-themed turn-based strategy game with city builder elements. In Generation Exile, we can take command of a spaceship, managing its economy (based on resource levels) and controlling randomly generated diverse crew members. We also make choices with long-lasting consequences.
Most strategy games have accustomed us to the idea that meeting the growing needs of our domains, as well as their development, primarily involves extracting increasing amounts of natural resources. Generation Exile described here, which is a turn-based strategy with city-building elements, is based on different principles.
The game is set in a solarpunk theme and was created by the independent team Sonderlust Studios, led by Nels Anderson (co-creator of Firewatch) and Karla Zimonja (co-author of Gone Home). It forces us to use a limited supply of resources and recycle everything that can be repurposed.
In Generation Exile we take command of a "generation ship" traveling through space in search of a new home for humanity. During the journey, which lasts several decades, we must ensure the survival of the inhabitants by meeting their needs and taking care of the maintenance, reconstruction, and enhancement of the ship's ecosystems.
This is not simple, as we have a limited amount of resources. The ship operates on a circular economy, where we use biological waste to produce new resources and material waste to create new technologies, tools, and structures. Additionally, if a particular object is inefficient, we can dispose of it, thus recovering resources to build a new, better structure in its place.
The key to success is building a city on the ship's deck in such a way that its individual elements complement each other. However, that's not the end, as our crew also plays an equally important role.
The crew members are procedurally generated, each equipped with a unique personality, history, and skills that may prove useful at various stages of the journey. Over the years, they interact with each other, form relationships (or, conversely, develop animosity), and start families, eventually having offspring. Not everyone agrees with our actions.
All of this means that during the game crises often arise that we must resolve. These often force us to make difficult decisions, and the situation is complicated by the fact that the consequences of our choices can extend across entire generations.
