    Broken port.

    FIRST try the free demo. Digital = 964,00 MB; Is cheaper physical: https://www.play-asia.com/the-survivalists/13/70dj77; you get raids when you are far away. sucks. Do NOT quit your game while one of your monkeys are holding a chest. I did and when I reloaded he didn’t have the chest anymore and I lost SO MANY important items!

    In other words, nice idea, but needs a lot of debugging. Maybe consider a second edition or a third or just forget about it. The fact the bug is present in all implementations means the devs were lazy enough to directly port the code.    … Expand

    The Survivalists adds monkeys to the classic sandbox survival formula. It’s a match made in the canopies, even if it doesn’t always work right. [Issue #2, p.71]

    The Survivalists is a classic endurance adventure with tried and tested elements, accompanied by a defining mechanic that, sadly, could be better implemented. But it’s still great fun and fans of management sandbox games are well catered for.

    The Survivalists is the latest in a crowded genre. Bright visuals can't hide that it is a fairly light experience at present, but there is some enjoyment to be had if you can look past the slightly uncomfortable sub-text of its central mechanic.
