Highrisers isn’t going to be a walk in the park. Whether it be Jen with her proclivity for tech or the mechanic Ike with his handy ability to repair machines, each character offers a very different personality, a deep skill tree, and their own approach to survival. You’ll be taking the role of four survivors with their own unique skill sets. As I’ve just mentioned they regularly have to descend to the more dangerous lower levels to gather supplies but more importantly, in your particular case, obtain parts for a helicopter that might be the only safe way to escape. The last remains of humanity have staked themselves out on the top floors of high-rise buildings to escape the swarms of hungry sleepwalkers. Highrisers is set in an apocalyptic cityscape where the streets are filled with swarms of Dreamers humans that are afflicted with a mysterious prion disease that has left them trapped in an eternal dream. In this title, you’ll be taking the roles of four survivers that are camped out on the top floor of a highrise, (hence the name.) If they are going to get out of the rather sticky predicament they’re in alive they’re going to have to descend to the lower floors of the building for crafting resources and supplies and this is where things could potentially get messy. Unlike what is starting to feel like virtually every other game in the genre there isn’t a zombie in sight. This is also, obviously why I wanted to tell you all about Highrisers, which appeared a few days ago on Steam.Īs I’ve just mentioned Highrisers is an urban survival RPG. I’m glad I actually read up on this one though because it’s laughing in the face of my cynicism. Cue the audible eye roll when I saw that a new survival RPG had been released. Even seeing the world, “survival,” is starting to give me hives.
These games are generally in the first person, usually, survival games or shooters, (or both ) and I’m so over them it’s ridiculous.
Is anyone sick of zombies yet? The “survive the zombie apocalypse,” trope was definitely fun, to begin with, but it’s starting to feel like an easy get-out for dev teams that are struggling with creativity.
