Up This is one of the most curious titles we were able to try at Gamescom in Cologne. This title is presented as a new proposal in the survival and construction genre. And there is an unexpected plot twist. ANDInstead of exploring traditional islands or vast landscapes, you find yourself surviving on floating islands in a world covered by a sea of clouds. Developed by Interactive AstrolabeThe game stands out for its unique setting and emphasis on vertical exploration.
During the brief presentation, we were able to see some details about its gameplay. In the world of Upwe will use a kind of hang glider to move between the islands using the different air currents. In addition, The game will also allow us over time to move our own base across this world. This way we can access other islands and thus obtain new resources.
On the other hand, many of these islands are contaminated by a kind of fungus. Which will do everything possible to ensure that we do not eliminate the underlying corruption. In this way, youWe will have to face different enemies on each island to then free it. Once liberated, we will observe how the island regains its life, showing in this sense a beautiful and colorful graphic and artistic section. It must be said that until this liberation takes place, we will not be able to access the resources of the island.
A unique and dynamic world
Another of the points that attracts the most attention Up lies in its construction system. Base building is dynamic, allowing you to build structures anywhere on the islands, and the tools you craft can be upgraded or customized to suit your playstyle.The islands themselves are unique; some have rare resources, while others present environmental challenges like storms or hostile creatures that require different approaches to overcome.
Similarly, climate plays a crucial role in Up. Storms can affect the stability of your buildings, requiring you to reinforce them or find ways to protect them from the wind. Additionally, some areas may have unique weather conditions, such as fog or gusty winds, that make flying difficult. Storms are also very important, having a direct impact on the island’s resources.
Finally, the little we could see of Up It has caught our attention enough to carve out a niche for itself in the genre. Its art style and cloud survival proposition is very striking, and could be a nice alternative for fans of the genre.
From here, we will be very attentive to any news regarding this launch.
