Expansion DLC "Endzone - A World Apart: Prosperity" which can be called a new chapter The real enemy is neither radiation nor predators, but insatiable appetite and appetite? [Explosion report]

These days, tons of new games are released every day. There must be many Game*Spark readers who lament that they don't know what kind of game it is just by introducing games from manufacturers and stores. Therefore, this project "Bakusoku Play Report" is to deliver the raw contents of the game "as soon as possible".

This time, the expansion content "Endzone - A World Apart: Prosperity" (hereafter, Endzone) of the city development simulation "Endzone - A World Apart" (hereafter, Endzone) developed by Gentlymad Studios and released in March 2021. Prosperity), I will touch on the new elements.

First of all, for readers who haven't played "Endzone", let's briefly explain what kind of work it is in the first place. This work is a survival city construction simulation that depicts the post-apocalyptic world after a global nuclear disaster, and the player will lead the "last survivors on earth" to pioneer a new civilization. . To be honest, it's a position that makes me want to throw it away because it's a bit too much responsibility...

Aside from that, as a leader, he collects resources, provides a stable supply of food, responds to the threat of radioactive contamination, develops infrastructure and conducts research on advanced technology. We will provide survivors with a safe and secure environment to encourage them. This is the basic play goal of Endzone. If you don't expand while considering the balance between population growth and food production, the residents will starve and the city will collapse in no time. Popular titles in the same genre where resource management is key include "Banished" and "Life is Feudal: Forest Village", and users who have played these games can play intuitively without worrying about the operation method. I guess.

Hands-on, attentive tutorials are still alive

Full content that even players returning after a long absence won't have to worry about

DLC "Prosperity" is a world that can be called a "new chapter" in which the basic infrastructure has already been built after overcoming the era of desperate survival. research content has been added. One of the attractions of "Endzone" is that the tutorial is polite. If you want to make your debut as a “first city development sim”? If you were asked for a recommendation, you would have no hesitation in choosing this work, and this expansion has added things that focus only on the new elements of the DLC. Even veteran players who played the game at the time of its release should first try out Prosperity in the tutorial.

The fight against the escalating material desires of the residents never ends

A lot of what you want to say that makes you want to preach "Those who know enough will get rich."

"Prosperity" compensates for what I felt was lacking in "Endzone" rather than changing the gameplay or difficulty significantly. Everyone became so extravagant and selfish!"

In the existing "council" system, the residents made "suggestions" mainly related to the living environment, and the player could refuse them, and even if they failed, the degree of dissatisfaction would increase at most. On the other hand, in the new function "Town Hall", the residents will be forced to "execute the request". The main difference is that you must choose between two options, and if you can't meet the demands in time, the residents will take more direct action such as looting food. It's still cute to ask for daily necessities such as coffee and soap, and it's like beer, cake, and even joints (marijuana) that are in the thousands through the "Town Hall". The higher the satisfaction level, the longer the span of requests that occur, but it doesn't go away. It is often said that it is difficult for humans to lower their standard of living once they have raised it.

"Prosperity" scenario mode is for advanced users

The three newly added scenarios "Beyond Survival", "The Sunless Future", and "Back to Back" have all been cleared. New elements of "Prosperity" are set as goals, and if anything, it is content for advanced players who have played the existing content. In particular, is the townscape that has grown halfway at the start of the scenario a challenge from the developers? You will want to click your tongue in your heart with the subtle and useless arrangement that makes you want to think. Even veterans looking for a solid map will be satisfied.
