PC Windows Xbox One Playstation 4 Nintendo Switch

Surviving the Aftermath is a post-apocalyptic city building and management simulator that focuses on surviving and thriving in a world ravaged by various disasters. The gameplay loop is addictive, with players constantly micromanaging their colony and working towards long-term goals like unlocking upgrades in the tech tree. Your choices affect the colony's happiness and future, making for an immersive and challenging gaming experience.


What we like:
  • Good variety of starting and difficulty options
  • Interesting story and exploration mechanics
  • Wide variety of buildings and environments
  • Fun hero and exploration system
  • Severely punishing gameplay
What could be improved:
  • Slow pacing in late game
  • No smart road building/pathing
  • Too many unintuitive blocks in tech and resources

  • post-apocalyptic
  • survival
  • simulation
  • management
  • city-building
  • colony
  • base-building
  • building
  • strategy
