![]() ![]() Cold homes quickly build up snow on their rooves. ![]() The presentation in Frostpunk is nearly flawless. Either the scenario will present you with some difficult choice to make, or you'll need to pass a new law that may be the right thing for survival, but maybe the wrong thing for civil society.įor instance, if someone is grievously injured, do you attempt to heal them by any means necessary, including amputation? Or do you try to keep them alive long enough that perhaps you can cure them completely? If you choose amputation, one of your citizens may refuse - do you force them to undergo the procedure, or do you let them choose death? Each of these choices has consequences and can impact the way the game plays out. Periodically, you'll be asked to interact more directly with your citizens. The only way to survive is to plan carefully and build up a strong economy while investing in long-term projects like enhanced technology and scouting for resources. The scenarios throw increasingly complex curveballs at you as they progress, which also add to the challenge. Hopeless citizens may give up on survival, while discontented citizens may rebel against your authority.įrostpunk very quickly ramps up the difficulty, with each passing day getting colder than the previous. Staying warm is only part of the problem, though, as you also need to feed your citizens and keep their spirits up. It requires coal to continue running, and without it, your entire city is lost. The center of your new city is always the generator - a lone source of warmth in the otherwise frigid, snow-covered world. Each of Frostpunk's scenarios looks at a different group of people fleeing a desolated London in search of someplace both safe and warm. Luckily, to prepare for the coming eternal winter, engineers had the foresight to build these giant coal-fired generators in the middle of nowhere. Frostpunk's style and gameplay caught my eye, so I'm super excited for the chance to do this review! Let's get started.įrostpunk invisions an alternate history of the world, where sometime during the 1900's, a massive ice age begins, freezing most of the civilized world. ![]() I got a chance to check out a demo of Frostpunk while on the expo floor at PAX South 2018, and thanks to the folks at Evolve I got a review code a few days before it launched. Frostpunk is a steampunk-themed post-apocalyptic city builder from 11 bit studios, who you may know from the Anomaly: Warzone Earth series or This War of Mine. ![]()
