Valheim is an awesome game where you explore a huge fantasy world immersed in Norse mythology and Viking culture.

The game has you starting off as a character in a small village. You’re then completely free to explore the procedurally-generated world with multiple biomes. The farther from the center you go, the more difficult the game becomes. You’ll find new enemies and monsters that become more dangerous, but at the same time, you’ll find newer materials that are rare which can be used to craft some gem weapons and sturdier armor. It’s like Minecraft in a Viking world.

You can explore, craft, hunt, and even build your stronghold and outposts anywhere you want in the world to mark your journey. The game even has some longships you can build which will allow you to sail the oceans!

Valheim is an RPG all about exploring. The game has a fully-featured combat system with block, doge, and a variety of weapons and combat styles. You can cut trees, mine for minerals, build bases, portals, outposts, craft armors, weapons, and hunt down powerful enemies. And the game even has online multiplayer, so the possibilities are endless. Though I didn’t test the client-server feature, I’d imagine it’d be pretty cool to explore with friends and establish a base together.

The game already has a ton of content for a demo and will keep you busy for hours. The graphics are very polished already and the game’s generated levels are awesome. The worlds are unique and different for every playthrough and I wasted hours just wandering int he pretty biomes. Valheim has a lot going for it. If you like RPGs, try it out.

Aground is an awesome 2D pixel art survival game.

You start out by ending up a desert island called Aground. You can then walk around and explore, collect resources, craft, build, mine, and building shelter. You can then expand your base on this uninhabited island.

The game has a tech tree which will eventually have you researching new developments. You can explore the island and find lone survivors and invite them back to your settlement.

After a while, you can learn abilities, get new tech, find new islands, ride dragons, and even explore space when you have the tech. You start out with nothing and build your colony into an expansive settlement that’ll eventually end up in space. The end goal is to find out why you ended up washing up on the island.

If you like Terraria or Minecraft, you definitely need to try out Aground The game has a free version and a free beta sign up also. Try it out if you like survival games.

MasterWatch is a survival game with a storyline. (That’s actually pretty rare.)

The story is that you blew up your spaceship accidentally and you’re stranded on an unknown planet. You need to find recipes that give you the blueprints to craft stuff like tools so you can build other stuff that are higher in the tech tree.

You can currently craft stuff like a pickaxe and sword.

The game is still relatively primitive given that’s in Early Access, but it’s nice to see developers making a twist to the survival genre. Rather than placing you in a stranded environment with no goal other than to survive, you have an objective.

MasterWatch is also pretty cool because you can discover a portal that allows you to warp to other planets to find necessary key items. This is the awesome part because each planet is a little different and has its own characteristics and items you can find on them.

The game features the Unity graphics you know and may despise, but they’re colorful and weirdly appealing. You have a hotkey bar and your basic inventory shown at all times. The best part of the game is exploring. The crafting is okay, but just seeing what the developer created is where the fun currently is.

You can currently explore a few planets and craft a few items.

If you’re a fan of exploration and survival games, try out MasterWatch.

Post World is a survival game that puts you in the shoes of a victim of some screwed up experiments.

It’s a survival game that looks very similar to Rust at first glance. The game takes place in post-apocalyptic Russia.

As of now, Post World is still in early development. From the footage available, it looks like a realistic survival game with some very nice graphics. The feature list is also pretty jaw-dropping.

The game is planned to have a procedural level generation, which means the Russian landscape will always be unique. There will also be quests available, so it’s sort of like an RPG as well. But at the core of the game, it’s a survival game where you need to defeat the other factions.

You also get to level up and unlock skills that change the gameplay style.

Post World also has a unique combat mechanic involving the heavy usage of shields and guns simultaneously. There are also melee equips as well. The enemies in the game are unique. They cooperate differently depending on the faction’s culture and resources available

The inventory system is also pretty unique- during combat, you can only use you’re carrying in your hands, on your back, or in your vest. You can also rearrange the items in your inventory to make space, sort of like the trend a lot of these games are using nowadays.

Post World will also have a crafting system as well.

There are four factions in the game, namely the Cultists, Slavers, Railwaymen, and Military. You choose one to join and you need to attack the others. Or defend against enemy factions. It’s the main divide between the players. Choose one and roll with it.

As of now, the game is very primitive in development but does have a tech demo available for viewing. You can sign up for alpha testing by using the link below.

Although there are now a lot of games in this genre, Post World does look promising and has some unique things going for it. It’s worth checking out.

Pantropy is an FPS game that focuses on huge, multiplayer online battlers that pit you against up to 64 other players.

It’s a massively multiplayer game where you need to scavenge for resources. The game puts you in a survival theme with RPG elements. It’s not the first game to take on such a feat, but it’s one of the first to do so on a huge scale.

Pantropy takes place on a futuristic alien planet. You can collect resources, build shelters, and craft mechs, weapons, gear, bases, robots, and a lot more. It’s not just crafting like any other game- the crafting system is complex and deep. You’ll need a guide to memorize everything.

The environment is also living and breathing. It features a living ecosystem that can directly influence your gameplay.

The core of Pantropy is the ability to play against up to 64 other players in a 64 square kilometer map that’s built to scale. That’s huge. The developers also have stated that they plan to expand the size to even larger maps. How much bigger could you want your gameplay environment to be? There is no limit, in my opinion.

You’ll have the ability to form factions with other players because strength comes in numbers. You’ll have a very difficult time not getting slaughtered by an assault rifle without having some teammates back you up. This is the case for a lot of survival games. Team up or get killed. If you like to play solo, perhaps the game will offer a single player mode or a PvE mode.

Working together with your faction and building up fortified bases, automated robots, and crafting the superior weapons is all part of the fun. You’ll need to outwit, outplay, or outnumber rival factions and even the native environmental enemies to prosper.

Your character has a set of skills and a level. You earn experience through playing the game and progressing.

That’s where the RPG elements come in. The character customization is pretty involved and it plays like a basic version of any generic RPG with a few awesome features. I expect that this will only be improved in future releases of the game to set it apart from other similar games. You can learn some special skills that will specialize your character to a specific role. This allows for organized factions and also replayability if you want to try out different builds.

Pantropy is an awesome game that’s definitely worth checking out. If you like survival and FPS games, this one’s a must-try. Use the link below to sign up.
