Surviving the Aftermath Reviews & Ratings
A job well done, even if it’s not particularly creative and original. This journey onto planet Earth destroyed by an apocalypse in which you’re trying to build a thriving colony can become gripping and addictive easily enough.

There are a lot things you need to know in order to be successful at the game, and the game tells you almost nothing about any of them. I’ve had to look on Google to find out simple things like for example what some of the icons mean. Things happen in the game and you don’t know why and there’s no explanation, again a Google search is needed. Why couldn’t they explain all of this in the game? Do they really expect people to have to search for these things online, well clearly they do and it’s extremely lazy of them to do that. I can’t rate the game more than a 2 as it is, I’m finding it a chore to learn all of these mechanics the game should explain them to me not Google.
Surviving the Aftermath is a post- apocalyptic management game that rocks typical RPG elements. While graphically it can be disappointing it compensates that flaw with a great gameplay.
There’s a lot to like about Surviving the Aftermath and I became genuinely invested in the continued existence of my survivors, fighting and struggling with all I had to get them through the many hardships of living in a post-apocalyptic world. It’s unfortunate that I was constantly forced to return to exploring the turn based world map, rather than having fun building stuff. Also, if you do decide to pick up Surviving the Aftermath, it's probably best to go for the PC version to avoid the contradictory brain-melting console controls.

But it is unplayable on the Nintendo Switch. The game crashes constantly. A lot can happen in five minutes and if you haven't saved, all you have left is your autosave. It's a good game, but if you plan on buying on Nintendo Switch, wait until the bugs are fixed.
