Day R Survival vs The Survivalists
Day R Survival
Day R Survival is a survival-themed, adventure-RPG set in a post-nuclear USSR that may bring to mind a slightly shallower (in terms of storyline) but more modern-looking version of old-school Fallout games. The game boasts of being a hardcore game as you will actually need to take into account various character-killing factors, including diseases or an infected wound, in addition to contending with the detrimental effects caused by radiation, hunger and thirst.There is a pretty in-depth crafting system as well, allowing you to make weapons, clothes and even transport (for faster traveling) by simply scavenging and collecting the parts you need. Naturally, being a "hot" zone, there are plenty of mutated creatures that you'll need to fight against, be it alone or with your friends via the game's co-op mode.
Day R Survival may not be a "Last Day on Earth"-type survival game but if you're looking for a game that may bring back some pangs of nostalgia for old Fallout games, this might just be the game to play.
The Survivalists
The Survivalists is a survival-themed adventure game focusing on exploring a vast archipelago filled with hidden secrets and treasures as well as mysterious temples and dangerous terrains. The goal here is not only to make a life for yourself by recruiting and training the local monkeys to help with your many mundane chores, but to find a way to crack the mystery shrouding the archipelago and possibly find a way to finally escape!The Survivalists has a sandbox-style, survival-themed gameplay, which means that you’re expected to gather plenty of resources from the environment, use them to build a base of operations… or even multiple outposts and bases… and make sure you’ve got plenty of protection ready for when the local hostile tribesmen attack you, which they do from time to time.
The map here is simply amazing and if you just love exploring, you’ll find the island-hopping experience here pretty satisfying… that is once you’ve got your raft built. Of course, being set in the tropics, there isn’t a whole lot of different biomes to discover, though there are volcanic and swampy areas that are more dangerous than the normal terrain. Even the sea contains dangers and you’ll do well to avoid the ravenous sharks that are looking for an easy meal.
The best and most interesting part about The Survivalists that really help it stands out from all the other generic sandbox survival games is the fact that you can “recruit” monkeys on the island to help you with any mundane tasks. This encompasses all tasks that can be easily replicated by the monkeys. After all, monkey see, monkey do!
That being said, training your monkeys is, unfortunately, also the most frustrating part of the game. Unlike games with macros, you can’t really save the tasks you’ve taught your monkey as general macros that you can then use whenever you need the same tasks done sometime in the future. Instead, every time you need your monkeys to do something, you’ll have to teach it all over again… which frankly speaking is very annoying.
All in all, The Survivalists is as addictively fun as it looks. Being a survival-themed sandbox adventure, there is plenty of stuff you can craft, items to gather, loyal monkeys to train, and bases to set up as you slowly and steadily explore every inch of the massive archipelago. However, the game isn’t without its flaws and I personally think that the game could have made the monkey-training part a bit more convenient and less annoying for the player.
