The Next World

Serious anime! Spase strategy! Logic quest! THIS IS GAME!

★★☆☆☆

I had a fun 7 hours with this. It's not the type of game I normally play but it kept me interested the whole way through. Plenty of choices to make and an interesting system of daily colony management. I wish it kept going after the end, into a freeplay kind of. My only complaint, no achievments unlocked as I played through. Theres mention of it in the forums, dev has never responded to others with the same issue. Otherwise I thought it was a pretty good game.

Nice 10-hour game with good replay value. Real choices, good characters, surprising story, balanced difficulty. I hope you like trolley problems :D. As usual, I love Ryan's writing. I keep begging other game devs to hire a writer because thanks to Ryan I got really picky.

one of the best games on steam

story :5/5 graphics 4/5 sound : 4/5 A nice little text based adventure isk game, would recommend but not for full price

Rather fun visual novel / light strategy game.

This is a fun enough narrative to play through, with the addition of the Planetary Exploration DLC. It's closer to a visual novel than city builder or base management sim, but there's enough there for some variety (again, I stress, with the DLC). The characters are memorable, and the writing is (blessedly) actually decent. The art is great too, consistent and varied. I think this is one of the better VNs out there.

Like a Choose Your Own Adventure book with some resource management. I played this straight through. Good story.

An interesting story, definitely more of a VN with very strong RNG elements than a true strategy. Sierra's Outpost it ain't, but if you care more about a story and characters than city building and mechanics well worth getting.
