Team17 and Texas-based developer Mothership Entertainment have today released a new gameplay trailer for upcoming sci-fi city-building and management sim, Aven Colony, which is heading to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC soon.
A gripping probably entertaining, rich simulation of an alien colon. I have to ask: how is it a sim of something that isn’t real?. Aven Colony allows you to build, customize, and maintain your settlement within Aven Prime, a hostile extra-terrestrial world full of deserts, tundras, badlands, and wetlands light-years from earth.
Dive in to an extensive dedicated (I hate those non-dedicated single-players games, always giving up part way through) single-player campaign where you’ll need to brave Aven Prime’s harsh environments with freezing winters, lightning storms, ice storms, and toxic gas clouds. So, like any given day in Los Angeles.
Prepare for attacks from the locals, including giant acid-spewing sandworms, “Creep spores” that infect your buildings, and “plague spores” that infiltrate your colony and infect your colonists with the plague. You must protect your colony from everything the planet has to throw at them, and shape the future of the survival of the human race. The survival of the local life isn’t on your lit of things to do. There’s even an immersive sandbox mode which features a variety of unique maps to choose from and a full suite of options to customize the game experience.
Will your plucky (who born after 1950 says “plucky”) settlers survive and prosper on this exotic alien world, and uncover its many secrets? Find out later this year when Aven Colony launches on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in Q2 2017.
