Survival/Settlement RPGs? (HnH, Wurm)
« on: February 23, 2011, 02:37:29 pm »

I'm looking for games based on (or starting out as) solo-survival (as in, controlling a single character, though not neccessarily restricting co-op of some sort), that typically lead up to developing a character/settlement and continuing from there. I like Haven & Hearth (minus the PvP and permadeath; it's an aspect I don't particularly care for right now), Wurm Online (which requires a subscription, something I'd be looking into at a later time). Think Dwarf Fortress adventure mode with the ability of building/crafting/constructing, having a permanent home, and having useful/usable furniture (cabinets and chests usable as actual storage). Minecraft is another good one, but it lacks character development and is also rather limited in terms of settlement, compared to the first two MMOs.

Anyone know any other games that might fit into that description? Could be offline-play or an MMO (though I'm looking more for offline games at the moment).

Wurm online has a relatively cheap subscription. 5 euros a month is pretty good for what you get.

Only in my dreams, Darkren.  Its like the ultimate dream for every skill-based RPG that even touches on crafting and expanding the world with user-created content.  Its the sort of thing I could sit and talk hours about. lol.  Too bad there isn't anything else out there like that at the moment.

hinterland was more of an rts, and it almost sucked.  There was an old game called afterburn or something where you controlled a post apocalyptic settlement

And i know there are other people that would love something like this, my only question is why hasn't anyone decided to make something like it

Technically, The Sims game can be about 'survival'....
