About the Game

  • History:
    Alien invaders invaded the planet, exterminating most of the population, humanity, being on the verge of annihilation, united its armies and gave a serious rebuff to the enemy, bringing down all its might on him. After several years of war, the climate on the planet has changed significantly, the virus and alien particles have greatly mutated animals and humans. The military created fortifications for protection, and extraterrestrial technologies were mined, which helped create medicines and weapons, vehicles and robots. The war continues, some fortifications are fighting with each other, advancing their goals and ideas, trying to get alien artifacts with which they can move to the next stage of evolution and gain complete superiority.

    The player's task is to survive in this world by helping peaceful fortifications. Collect resources and create the best weapons and equipment, fight off enemy forces and prevent the invasion of monsters from other planets.

  • In the game you will find:
    ✦ Survival in a harsh world from the first or third person perspective of a character.
    ✦ The lives of the surviving civilians and the activities of enemy groups.
    ✦ The infection of the world, mutations, many powerful creatures and Titans.
    ✦ Battles with alien life forms and their technology.

  • The world does not stand still:
    ✦ The longer you play, the more events, encounters, quests, and unexpected situations unfold around you.
    ✦ Lots of quests, plot and stories, NPC stories and adventures, interactive events in the world.

  • Three genres are one brutal reality. Shooter, RPG, and Horror elements.




    ✦ Shooter — intense shootouts where every decision can cost a life. Shoot tactically. Upgrade your hero to match your fighting style. And never forget that you are being watched.
    ✦ RPG mechanics — develop your character, enhance equipment, equipment, drones, turrets and robots. Influence the plot and choose your path.
    ✦ The atmosphere of survival and horror — the world presses, the enemies frighten, and the cold becomes a personal enemy.
    ✦ There is a place for real tension here. You don't just shoot — you survive, evolve, and be afraid. Every shot, every dialogue, and every rustle behind your back may be your last.



  • Not just survival, technology is under control.




    ✦  Creative freedom — create weapons, armor, equipment, and even companions.
    ✦  Own your own army — build robots and cyborgs that will fight on your side. Your allies don't have to be human.
    ✦  Technology warfare — from drones to heavy armored vehicles: everything you build works for you.

    The use of technology, the creation of robots and unmanned aerial vehicles.
    Do you want a drone that scouts the territory? Or a cyborg who watches your back? Everything is in your hands. In the game, you don't just survive — you create.

  • DNA, eggs, cubs, animals, people:
    ✦ Grow, tame, hire — assemble a squad to suit your style of play.
    ✦ Find, grow, create — find eggs, steal a baby, or extract the DNA of a monster and create a unique companion.
    ✦ Genetic Laboratory — use DNA samples to create new species and hybrids.
    ✦ Taming animals — find and tame wild or peaceful animals, they will become faithful helpers on the journey.
    ✦ Mercenaries — hire people who will fight on your side if you trust them with your back.
    ✦ Pets that grow up with you — your companions level up, learn new abilities and help in battle.

  • Capture → development → defense. Your fortress is underground.




    ✦ Capture the bunker — recapture the underground shelter from the monsters and make it your base.
    ✦ Development and Improvement — Build crafting machines, a laboratory, an incubator, and other modules for storing resources, companions, and transportation.
    ✦ Defense — build turrets, fortify entrances, strengthen walls and personally repel hordes of enemies.
    ✦ Automatic resource collection — send mercenaries and pets in search of loot.

There is an old bunker somewhere in the forest. It's crawling with monsters right now. Purify it and it will be yours.
Develop the shelter: Strengthen the defenses to repel the attacks of the creatures. And when you are not there, send mercenaries and pets to collect resources. The bunker lives on, even when you're in combat.

You are not alone in the world of LIFE EFFECT Survival.


⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️

1. ⏳  If you have a black screen when starting the game, just wait a few minutes, the game will load 100% into RAM. I'm working on speeding up the launch of a client.
2.  🎮 There is currently no gamepad support in the game.
3.  ⚙️ There is no key rebinding.
4.  📝 The game does not have cloud saves. It creates a save folder on your PC.

📢 Therefore, if these features are very important to you, please take this into consideration and do not purchase the game! At the moment, I cannot provide a timeline for when these features will be implemented.
