Fun Dog Studios has released a first look at gameplay for the upcoming extraction looter-shooter, The Forever Winter. The tactical shooter weaves together survival, horror, scavenging, and edge-of-your-seat combat. But be smart in your decision-making – you either fight the big guys or run like hell to avoid an untimely demise.
The Forever Winter Gameplay Reveal
In The Forever Winter, players gear up, select their objectives, and enter the war-torn world. Squads of up to four players enter a maze of relentless PvEvE conflict and fight to survive (or sneak by) hordes of enemies and loot the fallen in a desperate race to secure what’s left of Earth’s dwindling resources. The enemy will always be stronger, and players simply fight for survival on a post-apocalyptic battlefield.
Key features of the game include the following.
- PvEvE: Enemies have their own goals and agendas, operate in coordinated groups as part of a combat ecosystem, and undertake full-scale battles both against you and other NPCs—and each faction will intelligently react to your actions in different ways.
- Gear Up to Survive: Customize your loadout and get your squad ready to enter the maze. Upgrade your weapons and gear to suit your playstyle with scavenged resources and increase your (small) chances of survival against relentless enemies.
- Prioritize Stealth and Teamwork: Stealth and teamwork are crucial elements for survival. Coordinate with your squad to outsmart enemies and avoid detection to gain the upper hand, or tactically plan battles and ambushes to win guerilla engagements. Just don’t take the enemy head-on. You won’t live to tell the tale.
- Death is Just the Beginning (Again): If your squad dies, the run’s over. And death is unforgiving. If you fall in battle, you’ll lose everything in your inventory and have to start over from scratch. Build up a stash back at base to keep the upper hand in the future.
The Forever Winter is available to wishlist on Steam now.
