Depraved on Steam is an indie city-building game with survival elements, set in the untamed frontier of the Wild West. Here’s a detailed description:
Overview
Genre: Indie, Simulation, Strategy
Developer & Publisher: Evil Bite
Release Date: September 21, 2019
Gameplay and Features
Setting: Depraved places players in the role of a leader of pioneers in a procedurally generated world of the Wild West. With just one wagon loaded with resources, players must choose where to establish their first settlement.
City-Building:
Settlement Management: Players start by building foundational structures like homes, farms, and workshops. The objective is to turn a simple camp into a thriving town. Managing resources like wood, food, and water is crucial to ensure the inhabitants don’t starve or die of thirst.
Population Happiness: The well-being of your settlers is paramount. Keeping residents happy accelerates town growth, whereas discontent can lead to crime, raids, or residents leaving the settlement. Each type of settler has different needs, which adds depth to management.
Survival Aspects:
Challenges: Beyond managing resources, players must contend with seasonal changes, diseases, and various threats like bandits, wild animals, and hostile Native tribes. These elements introduce a survival layer to the city-building genre, making every decision critical for survival.
Outposts: To gather resources from different parts of the map or to expand influence, players can set up outposts which can serve as small satellite towns or resource gathering points.
Economics and Trade:
Resource Management: Efficient use of resources is key. Players must balance the production of goods with consumption, ensuring there’s enough for both survival and trade.
Trading: Establishing trade routes with other towns or with passing merchants can provide access to rare resources or better equipment, fostering economic growth.
Graphics and Atmosphere:
The game features a somewhat simplistic yet evocative visual style that captures the essence of the Wild West. The art and animations aim to give an authentic feel, although some users mention the interface might be less user-friendly for some.
Community and Development:
Despite its potential, community feedback often highlights that “Depraved” feels like it was abandoned post-launch, with no significant updates since 2020. This has led to a mix of reviews, with some enjoying the initial experience but feeling let down by the lack of ongoing support or development.
User Experience:
Pros: Engaging survival mechanics mixed with city-building, interesting Wild West theme, and a challenging gameplay loop.
Cons: A perceived lack of content depth, especially in the late game, alongside graphical and UI issues. The game’s development appears to have stalled, which could affect long-term player satisfaction.
Reception
Reviews: Depraved has mixed reviews on Steam. Users appreciate the unique setting and initial gameplay loop but criticize the lack of updates and some unpolished aspects of the game.
Conclusion
“Depraved” offers a unique blend of survival and city-building in the historical setting of the Wild West, but it might not satisfy players looking for a game with ongoing development or deeper content post-launch.
