About Life in Bunker


Life in Bunker is a sandbox bunker-building simulator.

You've been elected as the new Bunker Warden! Now you must take control over a group of fellow bunker residents and try to make them last until the surface becomes habitable. The task however is not trivial. The underground life is difficult, full of danger and the residents will heavily rely on your wise, sometimes not so wise, decisions. One wrong step can put the entire Bunker on the brink of extinction.

So, manage wisely, spend you resources carefully and your bunker will prosper.
  • Procedural world - every new game, it will be a new world.
  • 4 levels - the underground world consists of 4 levels, so the bunker can grow not only wide but deep as well.
  • Residents management - there are six occupations the residents can take. But every resident is unique and can be assigned only to certain tasks.
  • Events system - diseases, infections, sudden outages and breaks will always mangle your plans.
  • Research and upgrades - open new structures and upgrade the old ones.
  • Ageing - the residents grow old, it's a natural course of life. You'll need a constant flow of young residents to replace the retired.
  • Resources management - water, power, clean air, ore, building material, garbage and several types of food each of them plays important role in the bunker and you'll need to manage them carefully.
  • DLC & expansions

    The idea could be good but the lack of content makes it feel like a demo. For this price you have thousands of other games with a lot more content and replayability.

    As a lover of this kinda of genre I was sorely dissapointed in Life in Bunker, however nothing is wrong with the mechanics and actualy building part, though it doesn't have enough variety for my taste. All of my frustration at the game can be lain at the feet of the bunkers residents. They are finicky, idiotic slackers. Even when the future of the bunker and their race is at stake, they will happily slack off while suffocating because the generator is dead. Farmers outright refuse to actually farm, leading to food shortages and starvation, and god help you if your people suffer from disease because the medic just despises work. Could it have been a good game? Hell yeah, though a bit lacking, it's got a solid foundation, however the stupidity and slacker nature of the residents means they're a bigger threat than anything else. Until that issue is fixed, I cannot recommend this game, and I'm genuinely sorry for that. The residents are just too frustrating.

    I LOVE the concept and the challenges, but when the hardest challenge is that the colonists refuse to survive even if you have surplus resources, it becomes pretty annoying. Aside from the AI, the game is generally just really buggy and I can only assume its abandoned completely. It has good potential, but I doubt anyone is coming back for this.

    TLDR: Buy this game at 5$ or below not at its full price. Basically as many has said this IS a fun game and very interesting, however, the AI is dum and sometimes does things that they should not be doing. If you start building tiles one worked will start and then stop while another worker will run from the end of the map to finish it...or if you have one farmer and want it to farm food well good luck with that he can farm for a little bit and then just walk away as if every farmer you have has ADHD! Probably the sucky part is no updates for years so any issues that people have addressed could have been fixed and this would be a very great game hence why buting it at 15.99 is no no but if its below 5 dollars sure.

    Basic yet fun base building with a interesting concept provides enjoyment. Only two downsides are a lack of endgame (once the bunker is built you just mind the shop) and some path finding issues if the bunker is several levels deep or has winding corridors.
