The golden period for the development of survival games has passed.
That was in the years 2018-2019, the time when PUBG, Fortnite and then Apex Legends stirred up the gaming world. Nowadays, most survival games are entering a period of decline when they somewhat lack newness and above all, still follow an overly stereotyped formula for success.
Specifically, most survival games released today possess features such as manufacturing, material management, base building or even adding elements such as zombies in the game.
And recently on Steam, a game has appeared that is rumored to break that familiar success formula. It's called The Last Plague. And the game's developer also revealed the relatively unique, almost unprecedented mechanism of this game. Manufacturing in The Last Plague will not be as simple as many other survival games.
To take a simple example, to be able to craft a blade or bronze object, gamers will first have to create a mold and then pour molten bronze into the mold to create the desired item, instead of just clicking something to convert copper ore into axes like many games do. In essence, The Last Plague is expected to be much more “hardcore” than traditional survival games and the developer himself hopes this will be an innovation to create a unique success for the game. play. The Last Plague is also said to take major inspiration from non-survival games like Fallout.
Currently, the game is available in a demo version on Steam and gamers can fully experience this new survival style early.
