Solarpunk is a survival game that takes us to the world of levitating islands. The game was developed by the independent studio Cyberwave, which has the warmly received project Hourglass in its portfolio. The development of this game was possible thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.

Gameplay

In Solarpunk we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). The game gives us access to a vast open world - we move between islands on board our airship and then land to move on foot. During the game we explore islands in search of useful resources, as well as engage in animal breeding and land cultivation. While the former serve us for an extensive crafting system, working on the farm gives us access to food.

An environmentally friendly survival crafting game... with floating islands.

Full Review

GamesCreed: 3.8 / 5 by Aisaka Taiga

Solarpunk is one of those games that becomes more fun the more you play it. The first hours might be boring, monotonous, and at times maddening. Resource limitations, manual farming, and a few quality-of-life restrictions could test players' patience. A few bugs and some unfinished elements give the impression that a bit more polish would do the game good.

GameOnly: 6 / 10 by Weronika Nowak

Solarpunk proves that the future in games doesn’t have to be dark and grim to be interesting. Sometimes, all it takes is a bit of sunshine, lush greenery, and floating islands to create a world you’ll want to return to, even if it can be a little dull at times.
