With limited resources, players must survive in the wilderness in Bushcraft Simulator.
Bushcraft Simulator, a new survival game with roguelike elements, is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2.
The player will find himself in a wild bush where he will have to demonstrate his bushcraft and survival skills. The Bushcraft Simulator is intended to be characterized by realism and varied and well-balanced gameplay.
The simulator is based on games like Green Hell and The Forest, but at the same time should offer a number of its own solutions and mechanisms.
The release date will be announced at a later date.
The Polish studio A2 Softworks (including Gatewalkers and Climber: Sky is the Limit) is working on the bushcraft simulator.
The publisher will be Ultimate Games SA, known for the well-reviewed Ultimate Fishing Simulator series and the bestselling Thief Simulator 2, among others.
Roguelike survival in the wild forest
Bushcraft Simulator is a realistic simulation game with roguelike and survival elements in which the player fights for survival on an island cut off from the outside world and overgrown by wild forest.
The player must survive in a hostile environment for as long as possible with limited resources at his disposal.
The idea of the game relates to the art of survival and dealing with the wilderness. Gameplay will focus on survival, but there will be no shortage of collecting, crafting, exploring and fighting.
Providing the character with basic needs such as health, food, drink and warmth will play a very important role.
Bushcraft simulator with unique survival mechanics
As announced by the developers, the bushcraft simulator should be characterized by its realistic approach to the fight for survival. When producing water, the player must obtain the correct raw materials (e.g. charcoal, sand, etc.), process them and use them in the correct order.
When setting up a camp, the player must properly plan sleeping places, shelters and campfires to ensure comfort and safe survival at night.
Worth mentioning is the mechanic where the type of campfire affects the amount of heat produced and how long the fire burns.
Another important element is exploration of the wild forest, where the player must assemble the necessary equipment for the next stages of the game.
Skillful weight management and preparing the right tool kit are crucial and can mean the difference in survival.
In the game, the player will not only fight against wild animals but also come across mysterious signs and structures.
“This is a game that should appeal to fans of bushcraft and survivalism. Surely players who appreciate productions in the style of Green Hell, The Forest or Valheim will find something for themselves in Bushcraft Simulator. The game focuses on realistic aspects of survival that you won't find in other productions with similar themes. The simulator will be characterized by a well-thought-out combination of realism and varied and addictive gameplay,” says A2 Softworks developer Andrzej Stroiński.
The player will feel like he is on a lonely expedition where he has to get drinking water and food – relying only on himself and simple tools.
Gathering, hunting and fishing are just some of the skills that come into play. The thoughtful construction of shelters, orientation in the terrain, making simple tools, lighting fires, tying knots, and working with wood and other materials also play an important role.
