![]() To enjoy such satisfying moments of madness you’ll need a stable base. You set one of three storytelling AI’s to dictate how mad the world will be and whether the challenge will escalate, be cool or be completely randomised. I went for the comfortable non-threatening basebuilding experience, that does indeed provide varied moments of insanity. You wanna know why people downvote reboots before release? Because of films like “new” Total Recall, or Robertcop, or Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone or a shot for shot remake of Psycho with Vince fucking Vaughn! Where was I? Oh yeah. I can’t remember a thing about reboot Total Recall, what a fucking waste of time. You can specify exactly what you want from the game. No… not “new” Total Recall! I’m talking about the original with big Arnie, of course. What a great idea as you can choose what type of experience you want, much like the machine in Total Recall. Complicated but easy to follow.Īfter setting up the basics, you’re even given the choice of storyteller. ![]() The whole game could be summed up with that statement. Before you’ve even started, you’ll notice the games chock-a-block full of easy to digest detail. And introducing the wonderful colonist Uncle Susan, the slick one armed Assassin and cook. Do you start with the default set up, in which 3 crash survivors attempt to survive on an alien world? Or scream “Nah, mate” before messing with all the dials, setting up your tailor-made custom scenario, complete with extra guns, backstory and choice of randomised colonists. Do you spend your precious silvers on a slave or medicine? How do you protect your base? What’s the best use of their time? Do you work them to the bone, as you know starvation’s a real possibility, or will this push your colonists to a mental break?īefore you begin the game you are given choices, so many choices. Choices will be made, sometimes effecting the survival of the entire camp. They are not hardened survivalists but regular peeps desperately trying to survive and you’ll come to respect that as they screw up the flooring again. Colonists have different personalities, skills, passions and friendships. I recall the time the camp was besieged by a lunatic man-eating raccoon. Build a shelter, harness the environment, sow crops and hunt, survive bandit raids and harsh winters and whatever else the game throws at you at random intervals. You guide a marooned small community to survive an alien planet.
