Our take on SimPocalypse
The global-empire framing places attention on large-scale expansion, while the described play centers first on maintaining a settlement, assigning citizens, recovering resources, researching development, and responding to disasters.
What is SimPocalypse?
SimPocalypse is a post-apocalyptic civilization simulator about developing a settlement into a global empire.
Explore dangerous territories, scavenge resources, rebuild structures, and recover social, economic, and military systems. Manage citizens in roles such as workers, scavengers, builders, and soldiers while responding to natural and social disasters. A large research tree provides new buildings, skills, and perks. Resources can be traded through a demand-and-supply market affected by player actions. Expansion may involve military pressure, wealth, or diplomacy.
