Supercube has announced that The Pioneers: Surviving Desolation will be launching into Steam early access on Friday, January 20th. Players will be treated to a stirring sci-fi game that utilizes elements from various game genres. These include simulation, survival, and base building.
To set the stage for the game’s launch, developers released an awesome new trailer that provides a peek at environments and systems players can expect.
Players will take the role of one of three survivors of Io-1 that has crashed in an inhospitable environment. The need to overcome surviving on an alien planet will become the player’s most pressing concern. They’ll face off against hostile elements including low gravity, volcanos, magnetic storms, and “other dangers.” Players will need to explore, craft, manage resources, and conduct scientific experiments in order to survive.
Key Features
- Explore – Io may be dangerous, but it is also home to beautiful, desolate landscapes. Explore the land and collect important scientific data to accomplish your mission. Board a rover or a flying drone and venture out to gather precious resources in the various biomes of Io.
- Build – Produce materials, build modules and engineering systems, craft wearable equipment, and make food. Utilize the game’s advanced health system to monitor everyone carefully to keep them alive.
- Survive – Volcanos, seismic activity, sulfur winds, and magnetic storms will constantly pressure your crew. Anticipate and adapt. Your crew’s life depends on it.
- Manage – Start with three characters chosen randomly from a pool of 15. Adapt to their strengths and weaknesses and use everything they have to survive.
- Simulate – Multiple winning conditions and endings. Play again and again, take advantage of upgrades, learn the best strategies for survival, and master all of Io’s unforgiving elements.
