The game often throws side quests at you which you can track at the side of the screen.

After which you use said better equipment to destroy objects you previously couldn’t destroy eventually getting to a point where you can just about destroy anything on the map.īut it’s not all about resource gathering. You then use your various resources to craft better equipment at a crafting station or campfire. Cut down the vines on a car to collect the leaves, destroy the fence to get wood and smack a filing cabinet to get the scrap metal. You start out with a crowbar and you very soon discover you can start hacking away at various objects to obtain the sweet resources within. It’s the apocalypses and I’m off fishing Break, Grab, Craft, Repeatĭespite being spelt wrong the term dismantle really sums up the core concept of this game. I also kinda like that the developers avoided the term zombie and went with inhumans.

Generally speaking, your just a dude trying to survive which in all honesty works fine with this game’s design. As far as stories go it’s pretty straightforward. Your goal is to escape the island in the hope of finding survivors. Now devoid of human life, instead replaced with zombie-like monsters. The game begins with you emerging from the shelter discovering the world is not what it once was. Building a bomb shelter stocked with plenty of food he takes cover from the devastation above. The apocalypse has come once again but one sensible chap was prepared. I like how even the title breaks apart It’s the End of the World It’s really great to see how far this developer has come and with today’s title, Dysmantle, the developer takes on possibly their most ambitious project and yet again succeeds at creating something highly enjoyable. They refined their art with the twin-stick shooter with titles like Neon Crome and Jydge but soon branched out to other genres including the dungeon crawler with Skeletal Avenger. But since then the developer has made consistent improvements.

I originally came across their work back on PS Vita with Crimsonland, a kinda basic twin-stick shooter which I won a code for through a podcast I was listening to at the time. The title comes to us from developer 10tons who have been going from strength to strength in their output of quality video games. From Twin Stick Beginningsĭysmantle is a top-down action game with survival elements. Review code provided with many thanks to 10tons. System: Nintendo Switch (Also on Steam (Windows & macOS))
