About Prison Colony: A Convict's Tale

✦ AI summary

Prison Colony: A Convict's Tale puts you in the boots of an exiled worker navigating brutal survival missions on a hostile alien world, where you'll scavenge resources, build weaponized vehicles, and defend your base against increasingly violent threats. The game stands out with procedurally generated 3D terrain, a detailed damage system that breaks individual vehicle components, and multiple vehicle types each with unique loadouts to customize your approach to combat and escape.

Life on Surrella is so good that the planet is starting to be overpopulated. As a solution, citizens may be convicted even for minor crimes and will be made to work on off-planet prison colonies. In this game, you play as a convict, trying to survive a series of missions. At the beginning, the missions involve construction tasks, but given that resources are tight, things soon turn violent.
  • Emerge from the Shadows: Complete a series of missions to earn raw materials, your lifeline in this unforgiving world.
  • Build Your Arsenal: Use your hard-earned resources to unlock vehicles
  • Defend your base when needed - if you fail to defend your base, will the invaders just steal your stuff or take your life as well?
  • Dynamic worlds: Procedurally generated 3D terrain with adaptive resolution
  • Low poly models for 2 ground vehicles, 6 walking vehicles (WAVEs), and 3 spacejets -- each with its own weapon loadout
  • Detailed Damage System: Experience a detailed damage model where individual systems fail, adding depth and realism beyond simple health counters
  • Escape: Build a spacejet and escape this planet, securing your freedom
  • Music by Chris Huelsbeck, used under a royalty-free license

Cool Game. Although the graphics aren't that beautiful, the variety of vehicles and the feeling of shooting a gauss canon mid-air against a Mech which looks like a centaur is very funny.
