What is the end zone about?
The story of Endzone is quickly summarized and very reminiscent of Fallout: A handful of terrorists blew up nuclear power plants in large numbers, destroying the ecosystem. Mankind took refuge in underground facilities to survive. Around 150 years later, the earth is halfway habitable again and people are starting to found settlements. And this is exactly where we come in.
Similar to Banished, we have our little one Not only enlarge the settlement, but also defend it against all kinds of dangers and disasters. No matter whether radioactive storms, armed neighbors or suddenly droughts: Our goal is somehow to live and grow in this hostile environment.

Roadmap and first steam reviews
Endzone not only starts the early access phase successfully, but also shines with a good plan for the future. According to the roadmap, April a first major content update appear, which enables expeditions and new side tasks. A second update in May will offer scenarios in addition to the current endless mode. Here is the roadmap in picture form:
Endzone's first steam reviews are also positive. With currently 82 percent positive reviews with just under 130 reviews, especially fans of expansion strategy should take a closer look. Steam user Seturo writes in his review:
"Endzone was already an extensive game in the closed beta. Because of the relatively high level of difficulty, it is totally fun to start over and over again to learn from the mistakes."
Steam user Triton Esquilin also praises the challenging level of difficulty:
"I am not that far yet because the game has its challenge, but I also play with more difficult settings. I have therefore started over and over again and that is always a sign that I like a game."
By the way: If you put Endzone on your wish list, you are doing something good for the environment. Together with the charity OneTreePlanted, the developers are planting trees in Australia hit by forest fires, as well as in the Amazon.
