11 bits Studios gave us a lot to think about with the decisions we had to make in This War of Mine. As a good manager of resources, you must build houses for them, generate coal, food, iron, and wood but not everything here is love and happiness. And, when it gets worse, so prepare for your population to drop like flies from disease, amputation, or freezing temperatures. Suddenly there will be changes in temperature that will improve or worsen the situation.
The main enemy to beat in Frostpunk is temperature, because you must always make sure you have enough coal to turn on your generator and that it provides heat to your population.
You, as an omnipresent entity, oversee a handful of survivors who, with luck and a lot of trial and error, will turn a pile of ice into a decent place to live. This game places us shortly where the weather finally went to hell and with storms the temperature drops to -120 °. The temperature is plummeting, and there is a storm on the horizon. If you don't survive the cold here, you don't survive.
And it is the last city, it is in a crater on a frozen wasteland. You find a generator, far to the north, where you can build the last city, and start the last position of humanity. London has been swallowed up by snow, the last survivors travel north, trying to escape the freeze. Is it worth it? Let’s find out.Īll cities have fallen, all societies have broken down. Frostpunk made its initial debut on PC, but now consolers can get the same experience with the three DLC expansions at the Complete Edition of the game. Now, the stakes are higher and, instead of controlling a ragtag group of war survivors, you must ensure the survival of an entire society on the brink of extinction due to the coldest temperatures ever recorded by humans in a city-building simulation that stands out from the rest for all the good reasons. This game comes from 11 bits studios, the minds behind the critically acclaimed This War of Mine. Therefore, Frostpunk, the answer to the question “what if global warming but in a steampunk reality?”. All is fun and games in steampunk euchronias until we realize climate change is also part of the equation when we power entire megacities with coal.
