AN UNFORGIVING WORLD


Stranded: Alien Dawn pushes you and your survivors to the brink. Limited resources, unpredictable weather, illness and hostile alien creatures make it hard to establish a foothold on an unforgiving world. The next challenge is never far away, requiring construction of an increasingly robust base using advanced resources and improved defences.

STRANDED SURVIVORS


Ensure your group’s physical and mental wellbeing by providing weapons, medicine, and much-needed entertainment. Every survivor has a unique backstory, varying levels of ability in key skills, and both positive and negative traits. Only by improving their skills and maximising their potential will you survive.

AN UNPREDICTABLE JOURNEY


In Stranded: Alien Dawn, every playthrough is unique. Experience a journey driven by random story events, alien wildlife threats and adverse weather. There will be setbacks; devise your own innovative solutions to problems and manage multiple crises at the same time. However, actions have consequences and as you strive to plan ahead, you must make difficult choices to shape the story of your survivors, balancing short and long-term outcomes with risk and reward.

MODULAR BASE-BUILDING


Design and build your base on an alien world and transform it from simple shelter to high-tech outpost. Protect it with perimeter defences, decorate it with furnishings, introduce automated devices such as defensive turrets, and discover new technology to create your own functioning space pad.

Fantastic game if you enjoy a colony builder. The modding community makes it all that much better with so many ways to customize and create a brand new experience again and again. With various scenarios, added types of enemies, and a multitude of custom survivors and biomes the fan base has created you'll find yourself spending countless hours exploring it all.

I haven't solved all the scenarios and I can't seem to satisfy the time limits, but I still enjoy it. I get impatient with the technology tree, so I do use a mod that allows the 3D-printing of some of the more progressive discoveries (but not all of them). The character models are a little rough and wooden, but overall, the graphics are quite good and the attention to detail on everyday items is superb.
