Territory (2022)

This solo dev is steering this game in the right direction. Constantly updating improving and squashing bugs just about every day. Highly values player input in shaping the game. Definitely the solid makings of a fun time. This is what early access is about. Well worth it if you like the journey.

It feel's like Subsistence, but it has way less going on around the map. The POI's are currently very empty, a few zombies/military will be there, take em out with ease and then you loot the few things available, it feels like it gives you enough loot per poi, but so far nothing has respawned as far as lootable containers, or cycling loot locations. the combat is really poorly executed as of now, it just point and shoot at head while spamming heals if you're getting shot. I feel like it's pulling a lot of influence from rust with building, but the resources like stone are way to rare around the map (along with respawn of resource nodes). Along with that the stone structure durability is 500 yet doesn't seem to matter as the few explosives that you see from a distance when you are running back to base from enemies will already have torn down your really expensive stone wall, that ultimately makes building pointless. It has very little to do beside loot/grind resource/shoot enemy. crafting is straight forward as with most of these games, I'm sure multiplayer would be a real chore as there is literally no where near enough of anything on the map to utilize for 2 or more players (ammo/…

As a newcomer to survival games, Territory completely hooked me. The progression is fantastic: you start with primitive tools and work your way up to firearms, powered bases, and gas-powered trucks or quad bikes. The core of the game is building, gathering, crafting, and raiding hunting lodges and/or military installations that keeps you constantly engaged. When you need a break from expanding your territory, the option to fish or hunt offers a great change of pace, and you can earn credits by selling your spoils with a trader or stock your food supply. While the game is in Early Access—meaning you should expect a few bugs. Recently, I chatted with the developer on the Discord channel, and he said the game is still being actively developed. In addition, the developer recently posted video of updates he is currently working on for a future release. Whether you play solo or with friends, this game is well worth your time. Highly recommended!

The first few play troughs where a little rough like for example I hard a hard time obtaining fresh drinking water. And, I didn't realize the aggressiveness of the enemy AI can be adjusted trough the game settings. Now, finally figured it out and the game has got a lot better.

For a solo developer, this game is genuinely impressive. From what I understand, it’s a passion project—and at just $10, it offers excellent value. Despite a few bugs here and there, I’ve easily gotten more than my money’s worth. That said, I tend to enjoy games with a bit of roughness around the edges. It’s important to know what you’re getting into, and honestly, a quick glance at the store page gives you a pretty clear picture. This is a raw, unpolished survival experience—complete with crafting, base building, and all the features fans of the genre expect. Still, there’s something undeniably charming about it. It's a little janky, a little buggy, but full of heart. And that’s what makes it worth supporting.

The gamedev has been busy updating the game, there is a good amount of content added in. ________ The gameplay experience so far has been brutal, many times when I assume I am safe to wait out the night out in the wilds. There is always something that is wanting to eat me, almost jumped out of my chair when a bear attacked me during the night in the nearly pitch black forest LOL It was so quiet around me just before that happened, I tried to run away & crossed paths with a horde of zombies. There is friendly fire, you can possibly use that to your advantage when you are outnumbered in battle. I was being chased by a pack of wolves & one of them were taken down by bandit's firearm. Every shot counts on Territory, I appreciate that we can have a chance to re-obtain our arrows. Most other survival games always give you an abundance of firearm ammo, yet here. You will need to plan out what & when you are going to use items for early game sessions. I have managed to find a somewhat quiet location to build a starter base, right next to a small area I can go fishing. I think I have survived about 3 bandit raids & 7 zombie hordes ever since I have began building. I'm enjoying the fis…
