Cataclysm: The Last Generation

Lots of good changes from CDDA, and that diversity strengthens both games. Developer banned me from the Discord when I tried to get involved with the community. Still recommend supporting this, it's a great fork of an open source game and that's good for the art of game development across the board.

Wormgirl did a great job with this branch, hits the difficulty spot perfectly and keeps you coming back for more (I haven't lived past day 5 yet)

A find like this is always something special - like a game from a timeline forked off thirty years ago where the industry went a different direction, elevating simulational mechanical depth over every other concern. I'm just getting started with this journey and have lots more to discover, but if you're looking for that truly-do-what-you-want experience in a sandbox that feels "real", this will scratch that itch. The kind of game where the goal is to simulate things down to such a level that when you want to solve a problem you don't think, "How does this work in this game," but rather, "How would I do this in real life," and the gameplay flows from there. Definitely recommended. Go find your own way and tell your own story in a world where apocalypses come in sets of, like, 7 or 8 at once!

Incredibly interesting game, Reminiscent of stuff like Rimworld and text adventure games which is awesome!!!! I'm not very good at it having to consistently recheck the controls and messing up with menus despite doing the tutorial but for a game as complex seeming as this I find it understandable. I also find the art very charming I always loved pixel art growing up and the art here is no exception :) Overall I think it's a very cool and worthwhile game to check out and I plan to keep playing for a long time

Fantastic branch of Cataclysm, which is already a fantastic game

There are a lot of CDDA forks and recommended packs and this and that, but just like DF, if you want to give money to a beautiful use of your free time, this is where you do it for Cataclysm. Worm Girl's an extremely detail oriented dev, updates come out for this CONSTANTLY and you can feel the care for the crafted experience.

Best game of all time. period.

Not the worst fork of CDDA, but I find it's a kind of frustrating and tedious one. For the price of entry I was hoping for more.

It's good (over 6k hours in cdda and this mogs it)

This game is badass!!
