Is Meet Your Maker worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy creating defenses and seeing other players attempt them
- Pairs who want to build Outposts together
- Players who want to raid player-created defenses with a co-op partner
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a campaign-focused structure rather than a loop centered on building and raiding Outposts
- Players who prefer combat without designing or adjusting defensive layouts
- Players seeking a solo-only game, since co-op building and raiding are available
- Players looking for a nonviolent game, as the described defenses use lethal traps and guards
Our take on Meet Your Maker
The focus on player-built Outposts makes construction part of the central loop, not a side activity. That choice centers play on designing and raiding defenses rather than on a conventional campaign structure.
What is Meet Your Maker?
Build and fortify Outposts to extract and protect Genmat, the resource used to develop the Chimera.
Place blocks, traps, and guards, adjust traps, and set guard patrol routes before sharing an Outpost with other players. Then raid their creations: choose a loadout, reach the Genmat, and escape. Play solo or build with an ally or join a raid as a team of two. A replay system lets Builders watch Raiders challenge their Outposts, and accolades recognize their designs. The Shattered Peak content adds an environment, themed decoration pack, Custodian, and guard.
