About This Game

"This isn’t just another survival game—I’ve spent five years creating it and three more releasing updates. The game has vastly improved since most of its reviews were posted. While I’m not currently posting updates, I’m still actively working on the game behind the scenes. Please buy it only if you want to support the development and provide detailed bug reports and feedback to help make it a masterpiece it deserves to be. The development is slow and steady, which means there can be long delays between updates." - Dev 💙

A new era commences. The Age of Technology has ended, allowing nature to reestablish balance and order. This emerging world, abundant in diverse animal and plant life, presents renewed challenges rooted in fundamental survival: agriculture, hunting, defense, and the construction of adequate shelter.

Success now depends on the ability to adapt, establish a foundation, and seek progress within this revitalized environment. Will you persevere to live with the land? Or will you strip the world bare, kill anything in sight, and rule with an iron fist?

The objective is for Jack to survive within the natural ecosystem, using available strategies or resources. Help Jack secure food, water, clothing, and shelter—whether a modest home or a tall building. Assist him in developing expansive farms, staying warm and dry, and crafting stronger tools to overcome bigger challenges. Protect him against hostile animals and elements, using brain or brawn.

🗺️ A BALANCED WORLD 🗺️

Jack can explore a world with changing weather, temperature, and day-night cycles. He'll find various pickups, forests and ponds to utilize in his quest.

🏹 GO HUNTING 🏹

Make Jack a bow and send him out; he'll mostly be hunting wolves and bears, which are both dangerous predators. Equipped with a bow, strong armor and a good sense of aim, Jack will be eating his first cooked bear meat soon!

🧺 SUBSISTENCE FARMING 🧺

Cultivate a variety of vegetables, ensuring their proper irrigation and care until that sweet harvest.

🏗️ CONSTRUCTION 🏗️

Jack needs a dry, warm place to sleep and relax. Build him any type of home using at least 15 construction parts, in any design or size.

📦 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 📦

Jack should manage his available resources efficiently. If he continues to remove all the trees near his home, he will eventually need to travel increasingly greater distances to obtain additional wood. He should also utilize his storage capacity judiciously by prioritizing essential items and avoiding unnecessary accumulation.

🎣 FISHING 🎣

Jack has several long-term survival strategies. Residing near a wolf den can help maintain a steady food source, as can living close to a dam and fishing for meals.

"And much more! Seriously! I promise you; this is the most unique game you've ever played. Unique gameplay that exists thanks to a unique software design. I would really appreciate your support in buying a copy, after all, all purchase funds go back into development, not my pocket." - Dev 💙

It is another big empty map with nothing going on. Early access is not the place to develop your game. Take it off steam and put it on Itch.io to get the feedback you are looking for. If you ARE going to put it on Steam, don't expect people to pay $15 for your unfinished, barely playable Alpha test phase. https://youtu.be/SXuKj9RpNW0

What a lovely fun game worth all the money in my bank. NOT just joking this game is a POS not worth $1.00. Not much shit to craft, empty map pretty much. I can collect meat from a wolf that's still alive by chopping it up with an axe. I can spam jump up impossible rocks that you shouldn't be able to do. When using an axe to chop the animation looks like dog shit. This game needs to be removed from Steam right away and the devs slapped.

This is the foundation for a good game, but currently unplayable, as far as i'm concerned. mostly due to the extremely quick deaths from weather, starvation and thirst. It seems to be just gather resources ( takes a long time for enough to even make the first tools), make good tools, die from something (losing everything), then start completely from scratch with nothing but the starting wood, rinse and repeat. not having fun on this pointless loop, so done.

Era of Survival will give you an hour or two of fun before the boredom inevitably sets in. The game fails mostly in that it ignores the lessons of other survival games. Almost everything you craft takes a minimum of 30 seconds. It also takes an absolute ton of resources. An example is one stone arrow takes something like 35 wood and 10 stone...for one! It also takes 30 seconds real time to make it. If you want to make a bow and 20 arrows, it will take 30 minutes. This is the same with everything. A wood door takes over 100 wood, a single piece of roofing 200. I think both of those items took a full minute each to build. Combat is just as bad. Once you find the million resources you need to build the simplest items, they fall apart in seconds. You're not playing a game, you're watching a timer. Killing a chicken with an axe is an exercise in frustration. You have a tiny red dot but there is no blood spray or anything to even tell if you're hitting things. I chased a chicken for almost ...
