About The Tribe Game
The Tribe Game is a story-driven roleplaying game where the player creates their own custom character and steps into a unique, atmospheric post-apocalyptic world where hope prevails, inspired by the classic cult-hit TV series, 'The Tribe'. Taking centre stage in the story, the player interacts with a large range of characters and 'tribes', each of whom is seeking to build a new world, and will help shape their lives and destinies. There are many diverse places to explore, quests to be accomplished, professions to level up, items and resources to be found, battles to be won, friendships to be made and adversaries to be challenged... as the player experiences all of the humour and unpredictable drama in the world of The Tribe - and tries to keep their own (and their tribe's) dreams alive.
Fate will make your character cross paths with many other survivors who are struggling to create a new world, including some familiar faces to those who have watched The Tribe TV series. For those new to The Tribe, your character will quickly discover who are the other protagonists of this world. Some will be friendly, some will be hostile, some in need, while others threaten the future of the already fragile world.
Travel through lots of contrasting, atmospheric locations... From the ghostly deserted Sectors of the city, to the suburbs... beyond the city to the woods and forests, to the beaches and coast... You will also need to go inside abandoned (or inhabited?) shops and buildings, including a large shopping mall...
Put yourself in the picture and make your character look like you, or somebody completely different from your imagination, using the customisable character creator. Choose from a range of combinations to select your own appearance, including hair styles, make up and markings, as well as costumes. It is also possible to completely change your look at regular points during the game as the story unfolds.
Level up your profession skills. Grow produce with your Farming skill. Find ingredients for recipes to create food and drink items with your Cooking skill. Use Tinkering to make items or weapons, as well as things you may need to trade over to others, or in order to complete a quest. Go Fishing. With your Tailoring skill, craft new clothing or 'armour' to enhance your character's stats. Forage and Scavenge locations for items or resources you and your tribe might require. And always be on the look out for unexpected danger or encounters.
Sometimes you will be given Quests by others. Have you got what it takes to achieve them? Keep track of your progress using your Quest Journal.
The Tribe Game comes with some video content accessed from within the game, including::
The Tribe Game includes an ambient audible experience, with locations featuring some of the sound effects from The Tribe TV Series. The game soundtrack also includes musical themes adapted for the game from the television series, some of it a full orchestral score performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
Before creating your character, a cinematic cut scene movie can be played, featuring animation and narration from actress Beth Allen (who played the iconic character Amber in The Tribe television series).

Cute little game full of nostalgia if you were a fan of the Tribe TV series growing up. I wish it was longer and I had more freedom to explore. Especially since the story was so short, I felt like there are certain parts where the game rushed you to the next area while there were still items to collect. The end says "To be continued" so I hope they choose to expand and add more to the story! Would love DLC of a part 2!1 found this helpful
Grew up on the show and was very excited for this game. Its a pretty good and fun game but was a bit short in my option. The end says to be continued so im hoping the next part brings love partners and more freedom.
So yeah, where to begin? Easy at the start, I had so many weird quit to desktop bugs at the start of the game that i stopped playing the game. But I downloaded the game again to even see if the game works again and well after around 10h of "gamplay" and I got to say... It's a half a game at best. Sure it has crafting, cooking, scavenging and farming/fishing. The combat is weird to even be a turnbased battle system. it's mostly You vs 1-6 people at once and as some have said in their own review of the game, the skills you learn and level up has no impact. But the question is, would i recommend this game? Yes but if i took off my rose tinted glasses then no, why? It's short and mostly linear fetch quest with mediocre combat.
Just like the TV show but your in it
as an old fan of the series, it's really cool to actually get a game. it's in the style of an old JRPG and that makes some sense, a point and click adventure game could also work imo. i didn't expect some tripple a game and it's not, it's very much an idie game...id say if you're an old fan check it out.
For all it's limitations, I'll be damned if I don't love it. Maybe it's part the sheer nostalgia of the series, which has and always will have my deep unyielding love, but I will simply say that this has the soul of The Tribe in it. I'd hope that it's issues - the crashes and at time the mapping are dealt with by the dev team in time as I'd expect, but the romanticist in me still adores the visuals and the music - above all the music, which is an uplifting triumph and homage to the old in the new. I would say that anyone whose lives have been touched since childhood from this series will be well rewarded, and that all who hold this work accountable to the metric of comparable games with compassion view this as what it is - as the recollection, lament and revival of an old song. For all it's imperfections this, beyond everything else I have ever encountered associated with it, is the continuation of something profound. Is the poetry which we were gifted in our youth. Is the rightful and lauded heir to the old sagas, and like all songs of the singers who lose something in their repetition nonetheless contains something deep. I can say without reservation that this game raises…
