Endzone - A World Apart

Tihs game is good, but it's unfinished. The studio made bad business decisions, decided to make an Endzone 2 instead of finishing this game and then they went out of business (no surprise really and it's amazing how studios think they can succeed at this). To give a comparison, dozens of studios will pop up every year thinking that they can be the next RimWorld or the next Dwarf Fortress but absolutely none of them seem to understand that what makes these games successful is that the developers stick with their game and develop it instead of forking their resources into new games. And it boggles the mind, because everyone whose ever run a business as volatile and shaky as a game studio knows that you're never going to win if you split your limited budget and time into multiple projects. Anyway, the game is worth playing, but the tutorial is way too long and you'll be burned out on the game by the time you finish it. I gave up on the tutorial after about 3 hours and just played skirmish games, but that got boring quickly too because you can't really keep up with the game's demands as the resource gathering, crafting, and population growth all need tweaks and reworking.

Endzone - A World Apart 🟡 Поначалу игра казалась прикольной. Такой постапокалиптический градостроитель с атмосферой выживания после ядерной катастрофы. Но уже на этапе обучения я понял, что игра какая-то слишком вялая, будто ей не хватает остроты. Всё даётся слишком легко. Стартовое развитие идёт крайне быстро, ресурсы сыпятся как из рога изобилия, события (радиация, засухи, бури) не сильно вредят и легко контрятся. Просто поставил пару фильтров, запасся едой — и все проблемы решены. Игра, безусловно, красивая — приятная графика, детализация, есть свой шарм. Порог входа низкий, что для новичков плюс. Но когда нет реальных препятствий, становится неинтересно. Ведь смысл выживать, если ты и так в полной безопасности? Вот условно: в одной компании я прошёл под 80 сезонов и ни разу не было момента, когда я был на грани провала. Даже близко. Всё стабильно, предсказуемо и скучно. Отдельная тема — аномальная рождаемость. У меня постоянно было перепроизводство населения, жилья не хватало, я просто не знал, куда девать этих людей. Пришлось даже приказы на доске выпускать в сторону сокращения населения — такого я ещё нигде не видел. Типа сам себе создаёшь проблему, чтобы хоть как-то развлечься. Так что игра слишком простая. Но в целом ругать её особо и не за что — она сделана добротно, без багов, с душой. Просто явно ориентирована на казуальную аудиторию, которая хочет расслабиться, а не напрягаться. За это ставлю 8 из 10, но с привкусом «могло бы быть сложнее».

Endzone: A World Apart is a survival city builder where every mistake can mean the difference between rebuilding civilization and watching it collapse. After a nuclear disaster, you take control of a group of survivors trying to create a new home in a dangerous wasteland. Building shelters, managing resources, protecting people from radiation, and preparing for disasters creates a constant feeling of pressure. 🌍☢️ The survival mechanics are the strongest part of the game. Water, food, electricity, tools, and workers all need careful management, and every new expansion brings new problems to solve. Watching a small camp grow into a functioning settlement feels incredibly rewarding. 🏗️🌱 The atmosphere is excellent. The ruined world, changing weather, radiation storms, and harsh conditions make every decision feel meaningful. The challenges force you to think ahead instead of simply expanding as fast as possible. 🌪️ Some systems can feel repetitive after long campaigns, the interface takes time to learn, and late-game management may become more about optimization than survival. Still, fans of detailed city builders will find a lot to enjoy. I started with ten survivors and a few tents. A few hours later I was managing a radioactive civilization and arguing with the weather. 😂☢️ Survival is hard. Rebuilding the world is harder.

good

Плохая оптимизация

3/5, good solid simple settlement sim, nothing amazing, but fun and cool.

i love settlement building in Fallout 4 and this reminds me a lot of that. Well worth the price.

Вполне интересно. Сюжеты заставили попотеть. Экспедиции интересные.

Really fun colony sim.
