Game

This review was made using the version 0.9 of the early access:

In summary, Colony Survival is a survival game set in a Minecraft-like environment.

Build your base, recruit inhabitants, create a functioning economy where everyone gets food and the tools they need to perform their tasks, all to build an even stronger colony. But at night, zombies attack your base and you must do everything in your power to prevent them from reaching your inhabitants and the colony's banner.

The graphics are somewhat bland, but this is offset by the fantastic feeling of seeing your base develop and managing to survive another chaotic night. And even though the gameplay feels a bit clunky and indie, this is a gem we often return to.

There's also a wide variety of mods available to download to extend the game's lifespan.

Co-op

Multiple players can start their own colonies on the same server. But what we find most fun is when one player starts a colony and all the others chip in to help build it, its economy, and defenses. This results in much daytime planning and frantic battles to defend all you've built during the night.

Even though one player is the owner of the colony we all feel fully part of the colony.
