Crashlands Reviews
As a whole Crashlands may be the most friendly and mainstream survival-ish game I’ve played. It manages to incorporate all of the elements of the genre with exploration, challenging combat, and a pretty extensive crafting system but has also generally left out the aggravation. It’s possible that genre purists would turn their nose at this but I think it could also be an excellent title for slowly introducing a new audience to what the genre has to offer without scaring them off quite so quickly. If you’ve ever looked at survival games from afar but have been hesitant Crashlands is extremely approachable while still not easy by any means, it just won’t punish you as heavily for your mistakes as is typical with most titles in the genre.
Crashlands is a game that I highly recommend with one important caveat: the game is much more fun on a mobile device than on a computer. It's both humorous and smart, with an appealing style and solid gaming mechanics.
