About UnReal World

✦ AI summary

UnReal World is a deep survival roguelike where you carve your own path in an iron-age wilderness—hunting, fishing, crafting, and trading across a procedurally generated northern landscape as a member of one of nine cultures. What sets it apart is its obsessive attention to realism and detail, from tracked animal behavior to location-specific injuries, combined with over three decades of continuous development making it the longest-living roguelike ever made.

Into the Far North we shall take you -- as far as we can by the means of computer role playing...



UnReal World is a unique combination of roguelike roleplaying game and survival simulation set in the Far North long, long ago. Throughout the years, UnReal World has been praised for its depth, realism, atmosphere and immersion. The game is completely open-ended and you decide whether you wish to lead a life of a fisherman, a hermit searching for the peace, a brave adventurer, a rough hunter, a trapper or a tradesman.

As a member of one of the nine different cultures you'll enter a detailed and enchanting iron-age game world in which northern folklore, knowledge and way of life play an important part. The world and mechanics of the game are highly realistic, rich with historical atmosphere and emphasized on survival in the harsh ancient wilderness.

A wide world with vast forests, mires and mountains to roam and watercourses to row is randomly and procedurally generated - and you can live off the land and explore it on very detailed level. Track animals, set traps, hunt with bows and spears, tan hides, go fishing, pick berries, cook food, sleep in a temporary shelter or build a log cottage, trade with the villagers, craft items, interact with cultures near and far -- and so much more.

A few of the key features:
  • turn-based and open-ended - think before you act and live off the land as you please
  • random world generation for endless replayability
  • intricate procedural world full of wonders both mundane and extraordinary to explore on very detailed level
  • no character classes but nine different cultures to choose from
  • skill based system including multitude of skills from cookery to hideworking, from herblore to tracking
  • detailed terrain generation with diverse and accurate northern vegetable kingdom
  • convincing northern animal kingdom with species specific behaviour patterns and feeding relationships modelled in detail
  • keep in touch with the spirit world and the supernatural guardians of nature
  • find excitement in surviving everyday life and the quest for success in the harsh ancient wilderness
  • detailed combat (and hunting) with many tactical options and galore of weapon, battle experience and combatant related factors resulting in vivid and rewarding struggles
  • no "hit points" but detailed generation of injuries such as bruises, fractures, tears and cuts to specific body locations
  • injuries rated to determine their effect to physical activity
  • craft items from weapons to traps, build constructions for temporary shelter to log cabins
  • moddable crafting, building and flora
  • and so much more. Everything is up to you...

The initial UnReal World Steam release doesn't feature Steam goodies such as achievements, trading cards or cloud saves but there's no end in sight and all of those will be considered in the future.

UnReal World is the longest living roguelike game of all times. It was first released in 1992 and has been continuously maintained and developed ever since.
Over the years we’ve seen dozens and dozens of new UnReal World versions each of them being complete games of their own, and still there is no end in sight to working with updates and new versions. UnReal World Steam version out now is the third evolution of the game (3.*) and a great deal of updates, enhancements and new features to it will follow.

Not sure what to say other than I play this game about 50% of the time I play video games. Oh, I have some awesome modern and classic titles... but this goodie but oldie still holds my attention much of the time. Play it, learn it, even mod it. Buy a few axes (IRL), learn how to use and sharpen them. Build shelters in the woods with your kids, watch them try to build traps (IRL). Return to the UNREAL World for unparalleled Awesomesauce, like I often do.

This game is a masterpiece. I'll give an antidote. During my. 7th playthrough. I spawned in. Looted a dead body. Traded it For some food equipment, a spear and a round shield. I learned how to cook. I haunted a bear. 5 Elks. And lasted about a week before the Midsummer's point. Then, as I was building my house and starving, . A bear wandered into view. It Slowly wandered away, but I had fought a bear before. I was confident that I could take it down. And it didn't seem to have. A partner or any babies. So I kind of rushed after it. Worrying that I would lose the trail. I forgot to unequip my my Longbow and arrow, assuming that it would just run off and I would shoot it and aggravate it. And make it charge me. Eventually I lost the track, but I was mistaken. The bear approached Me from the side. I did not have my Spear. In my hands (And I was also fatigued), it was in my pack along my round shield. But I was confident I had spent. A good amount of weeks. Layering up my character with fur overclocks and. Armor. It hit me. And then it hit me again. The first hit hurt, but the second was blocked and just as I was about to get out my spear and start taking it down, bam. He got a lucky h…

A rather unique game (there's similar ones, but this still stands out) that really shows the long development time. Though, it's... Well, not 'shallow', but 'simple'. If you loved playing, f.ex., Cataclysm:DDA because it's fun to scavenge a world filled with resources, learning to jury-rig whatever devices you need and rebuilding infrastructure from scratch... This isn't that sorta game. Buy it if you think you'll enjoy carving a niche and settling into it.

This is the ultimate Finland survival game! I've played for approximately 95 hours and in that time I've learned how to survive, but not thrive, in the wilds. It's a tough game, and the user experience isn't very intuitive, but it is still a great balance of fun and challenge. The feeling you'll get from putting up your first wooden structure, taking down a charging bear, and slowly starving to death in the freezing cold will be both heroic and tragic despite the simplistic graphics. Reviewing because it's on a deep discount right now and everyone should give it a go.
