This is an interesting looking game that takes action and survival elements from other great titles such as Abuse, Terraria and Cortex Command, then blending them in together to create Signs of Life. This nifty mix is a game of 2d survival, sandbox, platforming set in the distant future. You'll be exploring procedurally generated worlds full of meaningful handcrafted and procedurally generated content and a wide variety of creatures, some of which don't even want to taste your insides!
As per the way of most 2d survival sandbox games, You’ll be hunting monsters, gathering resources and the ability to craft weapons, armor and gadgets. As I'm a huge survival sandbox fan, this game certainly looks like one I'd be willing to put the time in to play every evening. Signs of Life also has an interesting story to go with the game, which always adds to the playability of a title.
Story:
Sensing that an apocalyptic war was imminent, the United Nations executed a last ditch plan to save what they could of the human race. 2 crafts were launched, a massive colony ship called the Hephaestus and a smaller, faster scout ship called the Hermes. The destination was a recently discovered earth-like planet with the potential to harbor life located roughly 18 light years away. The Hermes reached the planet first in order to establish a presence in anticipation of the arrival of the Hephaestus, but shortly after it reached its destination, all communications between the vessels were lost and never recovered.
4 years later, as the Hephaestus approached its destination a faint signal was detected from a nearby asteroid. Upon investigating the signal, a small artifact of presumably alien origin was discovered. Against their better judgement, the crew of the Hephaestus decided to attempt to activate the artifact, and upon doing so set in motion a chain of events that would ultimately lead to the destruction of the Hephaestus.WEBSITE
The good news is, you managed to survive by hitching a ride on a small escape pod just in the nick of time before the destruction of the Hephaestus. The bad news, is everyone you knew and loved is dead, you have nothing but the clothes on your back, a standard issue wrist laser and a faulty artificial intelligence companion named AGIS. Oh, and the human race is probably doomed. Probably.
RELEASE DATE : TBA
