Our take on Raiders! Forsaken Earth
Its broad management layer trades focused combat depth for constant attention to supplies, personnel, settlements, and infrastructure. The raider premise also limits the tone to coercive choices, captivity, and domination rather than conventional heroic progression.
What is Raiders! Forsaken Earth?
Lead a single-player band of post-apocalyptic raiders and expand its organization through coercion, combat, and resource management.
Recruit, equip, train, and sometimes consume raiders while managing food, water, and beer in the desert. Raid industries and settlements for materials, goods, and prisoners, then control captured communities through imposed laws and force. Build a hideout with facilities such as a brewery, prison pens, vault, and siege workshop. Craft construction materials and weapons, recruit specialists, and use artifacts from the old world. Combat mercenaries, regulators, and wastelanders in battles and duels, including fight pits. A procedurally generated map and an economy linking industries with settlements make each campaign develop differently.
