A strategy game set in a science-fiction world. This is the debut of the British Machine studio, led by a former member of an independent developer Mode 7 - Simon Roth.

The actual gameplay takes place on procedurally generated maps, not larger than two square kilometers each. The game features relatively complex mechanics. Thus, the player not only has to build underground structures ensuring effective work of the colony, but they also have to conduct mining works in order to gather valuable resources and extend the base. It is also crucial to cater to the needs of the society the player develops. These include having to employ people, provide them with food and adequate entertainment. Similar to the classic Dungeon Keeper, the player is allowed to switch to the first person view and take a walk around the colony.

As the name suggests, the game focuses on the legendary humanoid creature living deep inside the Rocky Mountains.

The players are offered a vast open world, in which they can explore lakes, swamps, and creepy caves. The gameplay builds on hunting down the titular adversary. The main protagonists establish their base in an RV, and during their hunt, they use a shotgun, a wide range of traps, and some other pieces of gear.

Strategy, City Builder, Crowdfunding, Economic, RPG Elements, Historical, Indie Games, Prehistory, Singleplayer, Survival.

A real-time strategy game enriched with elements of RPGs, city builders, and survival games. Ancient Cities was developed by the independent developer Uncasual Games. The player assumes the role of a tribal leader living in the Neolithic era. The tasks of the player are to provide shelter and protection against predators for the members of the tribe, as well as to obtain sufficient amounts of food. Gathering resources (the whole in-game economy is based on them) resembles a survival game, as flora and fauna are simulated within a dynamic ecosystem. Consequently, wild plants and animals are soon not enough to sustain a constantly growing tribe. In harsh periods, the player has to distribute supplies wisely - for instance, foods naturally degrade over time. Things can also get complicated as a result of sudden climatic changes and natural disasters - one oftentimes has to decide whether to stay in one's settlement and try to survive a difficult period, or to abandon the base in search for a safer zone. Alongside progression, the player unlocks new upgrades in the extensive technology tree, which allows for improvements to one's methods of crafting and cultivation, making the tribe's existence easier in the long run. Members of the tribe are described by individual sets of statistics, talents and skills. These mechanics are complemented by having more or less friendly relations with other tribes.

The second installment in a unique simulation game series, developed by an independent studio, Might and Delight. In contrast to the first installment, in which we played as a female badger, Shelter 2 gives us an opportunity to play as a pregnant female lynx. The game recreates the life of the species in its natural habitat. During the gameplay, the player has to ensure adequate conditions for the development of their offspring. One has to find a den, gather food and protect the offspring against natural threats. The gameplay is more complex this time, because different new elements were introduced, such as the stamina meter. Since the traits possessed by a lynx are different to those of a badgers, the gameplay mechanics are slightly different. Similarly to the first game, Shelter 2 greatly emphasizes the survival aspects and the bonds between the lynx and its offspring. The original "patchwork" graphics, based on somewhat old-fashioned vector models, were not changed.

The gameplay emphasizes the survival aspect — in the game, we have to constantly look for food, drink, and various useful items, as well as ensure that we get enough sleep. To fight mutants, we do not use classical armaments but a number of seemingly useless things which belonged to the Eden’s employees. The title’s highly original interface, designed as an integral part of the virtual world (for example, armbands that display the holograms of the equipment screen), deserves a praise.
