Year 2024Dev Starry StudioOn Xbox · Android · PC

✓ Fits the third-person Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, adventure storytelling and shooter

≠ Stands apart with deep simulation, survival mechanics and turn-based strategy, while skipping melee combat

A free-to-play open-world survival shooter: gather, build a base, and fight creatures spawned by an alien substance, solo or in co-op. The setting is genuinely eerie and the building is deep. Long-term players' complaints are consistent and are about the economy rather than the world — the cash shop drives progression, and seasonal patches have repeatedly reset or devalued what established players had already built.

Released 10 years after WildStar.
