About Era of Survival
"This isn’t just another survival game—I’ve spent five years creating it and three more releasing updates. The game has vastly improved since most of its reviews were posted. While I’m not currently posting updates, I’m still actively working on the game behind the scenes. Please buy it only if you want to support the development and provide detailed bug reports and feedback to help make it a masterpiece it deserves to be. The development is slow and steady, which means there can be long delays between updates." - Dev 💙A new era commences. The Age of Technology has ended, allowing nature to reestablish balance and order. This emerging world, abundant in diverse animal and plant life, presents renewed challenges rooted in fundamental survival: agriculture, hunting, defense, and the construction of adequate shelter. Success now depends on the ability to adapt, establish a foundation, and seek progress within this revitalized environment. Will you persevere to live with the land? Or will you strip the world bare, kill anything in sight, and rule with an iron fist?The objective is for Jack to survive within the natural ecosystem, using available strategies or resources. Help Jack secure food, water, clothing, and shelter—whether a modest home or a tall building. Assist him in developing expansive farms, staying warm and dry, and crafting stronger tools to overcome bigger challenges. Protect him against hostile animals and elements, using brain or brawn.
🗺️ A BALANCED WORLD 🗺️
Jack can explore a world with changing weather, temperature, and day-night cycles. He'll find various pickups, forests and ponds to utilize in his quest.🏹 GO HUNTING 🏹
Make Jack a bow and send him out; he'll mostly be hunting wolves and bears, which are both dangerous predators. Equipped with a bow, strong armor and a good sense of aim, Jack will be eating his first cooked bear meat soon!🧺 SUBSISTENCE FARMING 🧺
Cultivate a variety of vegetables, ensuring their proper irrigation and care until that sweet harvest.🏗️ CONSTRUCTION 🏗️
Jack needs a dry, warm place to sleep and relax. Build him any type of home using at least 15 construction parts, in any design or size.
📦 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 📦
Jack should manage his available resources efficiently. If he continues to remove all the trees near his home, he will eventually need to travel increasingly greater distances to obtain additional wood. He should also utilize his storage capacity judiciously by prioritizing essential items and avoiding unnecessary accumulation.
🎣 FISHING 🎣
Jack has several long-term survival strategies. Residing near a wolf den can help maintain a steady food source, as can living close to a dam and fishing for meals."And much more! Seriously! I promise you; this is the most unique game you've ever played. Unique gameplay that exists thanks to a unique software design. I would really appreciate your support in buying a copy, after all, all purchase funds go back into development, not my pocket." - Dev 💙

Era of Survival is an abandoned Early Access "me too" Unity based survival game. Gameplay consists of chopping down trees, collecting stuff, building stuff, fighting off wild animals, etc. It's a compelling idea but it's been done, done, done, and by much better developers than the developers behind "Era of Survival". One thing I can say is that not all of the game assets are flipped, because I saw a completely square tree. Not a round trunk, but a square trunk, with four 90 degree angles on it. Oh boy. The game was abandoned in a completely unpolished and unplayable state. Amongst the technical defects we'll get into, the animations look janky as all hell, and the funny part about that is the developer is using a Unity Asset store animation pack, so there's really no excuse there. It's like going shoplifting but only stealing the budget thrift store branded goods. The game was abandoned roughly four months ago, some time after the developer indicated the game would probably be finished. There's no reliable indication the game will ever be completed, given how long it's been since any updates were made and the shockingly incomplete state of the game, which is a reason …4 found this helpful
Virus? No Thank You Was really getting excited to play this. even with all the mixed reviews. The game looked plan sounded cool but after downloading and setting everything up. Steam told me it was a virus! Even went throw the setting and still saying the same.. safe than sorry I say.3 found this helpful
Era of Survival will give you an hour or two of fun before the boredom inevitably sets in. The game fails mostly in that it ignores the lessons of other survival games. Almost everything you craft takes a minimum of 30 seconds. It also takes an absolute ton of resources. An example is one stone arrow takes something like 35 wood and 10 stone...for one! It also takes 30 seconds real time to make it. If you want to make a bow and 20 arrows, it will take 30 minutes. This is the same with everything. A wood door takes over 100 wood, a single piece of roofing 200. I think both of those items took a full minute each to build. Combat is just as bad. Once you find the million resources you need to build the simplest items, they fall apart in seconds. You're not playing a game, you're watching a timer. Killing a chicken with an axe is an exercise in frustration. You have a tiny red dot but there is no blood spray or anything to even tell if you're hitting things. I chased a chicken for almost 5 real minutes swinging an axe at it. You can kill one in real life by just walking up to it and wringing its neck! No weapon necessary. Avoid this and pick up Force of Nature 1 or 2 instead. EoS has…3 found this helpful

The game looks fun in the pictures. It's not fun. There's no tutorial, manual or anything. I was spawned into a world and not ten second later, a wolf runs up and stand in front of me. Bam, I'm dead. If I want to die fast, randomly, with no opportunity to do anything but walk for a few paces, I'll play MUCK and have some laughs. The program also keeps running after you close it, you have to end the process thru task manager.2 found this helpful
