Expect The Unexpected
Life in the aftermath requires you to make moral choices. You may not be able to control everything in your colony, but how you respond to situations and emergent events will shape the character of your new civilization.

Reputation Management
Every decision can have dire consequences on your colony’s survival. Your reputation with other societies will affect your ability to trade and can even affect your relationship with their leaders. Colonists have a mind of their own and will react to your choices.

Very much still in early access and incomplete/unbalanced but from a fairly trustworthy studio.

Yea, as I mentioned in the general playing thread, been playing it. They seem pretty responsive - CM very active in the steam forum, and after the last patch broke down completely the balance the wrong way, they pushed a small hotfix very quickly.

So far, relatively hopeful.

Turns out this game is mostly a ripoff of Endzone, which exited early access back in mid-May and seems like a pretty well put together game. Maybe Aftermath will continue changing enough stuff to distinguish itself, as I said it's from a pretty quality studio.

Seems like the main difference between the two is that Iceflake has put most of their work into spicing up the distant scavenging aspect of the gameplay, which is left pretty simple in Endzone.

I haven't revisited Aftermath, but I do play Endzone, for a comparison. They might have improved enough that I'll play it again, but only once it exits Early Access. The tuning whiplash made me relatively uninterested in trying to follow at the time.

My favorite gaming magazine has three options for early access game: Got for it, Wait for now, Run away. This is a "Wait for now" game. Endzone scratches the itch much better.

To give Aftermath a little credit, the distant scavenging part of the game is very simple in Endzone whereas it's pretty much a second game in Aftermath.

Definitely think I prefer Mars though.
