Our take on Hostile Planet: Survival
The defining structure is the day-night survival cycle: daylight is used to gather resources and ammunition, while nighttime brings greater danger from monsters and other threats.
What is Hostile Planet: Survival?
Hostile Planet: Survival is an open-world adventure about exploring an uncharted planet, collecting expedition data, and staying alive.
Resources gathered across the environment can be used to make weapons, armor, and tools for extraction. A shelter provides a place to develop survival skills and adapt them to a chosen approach. Daylight is used to gather ammunition and prepare for nighttime, when monsters and other dangers become more prominent. Exploration covers unfamiliar locations in search of salvation while the planet presents deadly phenomena, hostile creatures, and hazardous environments. The expedition combines resource collection, crafting, shelter-based progression, exploration, hunting, and retreat when confronting threats.
