PlayStation and Xbox players will soon be able to discover this colony management game that has won so many fans on PC for its ability to tell unpredictable stories by randomly simulating events. For this, players can rely on three artificial intelligences according to their desires: Randy Random imposes challenges in a sudden and destabilizing way, Cassandra Classic offers a tense but balanced experience, while Phoebe Chillax leaves more time to breathe and offers a smoother progression curve.
A game begins when a handful of colonists crash land on a strange and unknown planet. They must then build shelters from scratch and manage to overcome daily challenges while supporting each other, especially since the social and professional profile of each unit will be very different. “Your settlers will maintain relationships with each other. They can become friends, lovers or even rivals“, explains Double Eleven.
It will however be necessary to stick together when leaving to explore the different zones of the planet generated in a procedural way in each part and to rescue the captured colonists. “When the threat comes, in the form of pirates, rabid animals, giant insects or killer machines from another time, RimWorld’s tactical combat engine will take over. Settlers will use their surroundings, taking cover and using corners for tactical advantage through the game’s cover system, intelligent algorithm and advanced weapon stats system, to deliver a deep combat experience“, can we read.
