Our take on Survive the West
The game combines survival gathering, crafting, construction, multiplayer conflict, and extra shooter modes rather than concentrating on one activity. That range comes with an uneven state of development, since the additional modes are identified as being at a very early stage.
What is Survive the West?
Survive in a desert populated by strangers and wild animals by collecting wood, stones, food, and other resources.
Crafting turns gathered materials into tools, weapons, and items such as axes and torches. Players can build a home using construction plans and place walls in chosen locations. Multiplayer supports cooperation and competition, including shared gathering, PvP, and raids on other players’ bases. The game also refers to Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and other additional modes, but identifies these modes as being in a very early development stage. The main gameplay combines resource collection, crafting, construction, survival, and Wild West-themed multiplayer conflict.
