With Rust occupying a unique niche in the gaming world as a go-to game for content creators and their communities, it’s no surprise that various indie developers have been trying their hands at crafting the next big Rust-like game. Some of these Rust-inspired games focus on underwater exploration, while others focus on zombies, with the most important element being the emergent gameplay that PvP alliances and betrayals bring about. And now, Steam’s Harbor is on the way, which takes Rust’s core mechanics and adds some Fallout and Mad Max elements to the mix.
Harbor throws players into a post-apocalyptic world with a single safe zone. Full of rusted and spike-covered buildings, sandy patches of land, and an overall oppressive atmosphere, players will be building the bases of their dreams and defending them from other players. To build and defend these structures, players will have to risk alliances that can go wrong at a moment’s notice. With death being truly punishing, too, all the Rust staples are present. However, Steam players will have to manage potential conflicts with other groups while surviving some Fallout-like pockets of radiation and tracking down a host of vehicles that look right out...
