Action, FPP, post-apocalypse, FPS, RPG elements, shooters, singleplayer
A singleplayer first-person shooter with RPG and survival mechanics, created by authors of Survarium. In Forest Reigns we end up as a mercenary in post-apocalyptic Paris. The city has been taken over by the forest which is a conscious entity - it can help us deal with our enemies or treat us like a deadly threat.
Forest Reigns is a shooter enriched with survival and RPG elements. It is set in a post-apocalyptic Paris, over which nature has taken control. The game was developed by the Ukrainian studio VG Entertainment, previously known as Vostok Games, which has in its portfolio such projects as Survarium and Fear the Wolves.
Story
Forest Reigns takes us to the French capital overtaken by the titular forest. What is interesting is that the thicket is a fully conscious entity possessing its own intentions and desires. During the game, we play as one of the daredevils who venture into this metropolis (or rather what's left of it) to discover its secrets and face the dangers lurking within it.
Gameplay
In Forest Reigns we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). The game offers us an open world, which we can freely explore.
Quests
The story told here is non-linear, so the game gives us a lot of freedom in terms of the order in which we carry out the available missions. Our clients can be both individual residents of Paris, as well as factions shaking it, fighting each other for control over the city.
Choices
Who we help and which side we take affects the course of the story and its ending. Furthermore, our actions and decisions do not escape the attention of the forest. It adapts to them, allowing us to use it to our advantage (for example, by offering cover from gunfire or additional opportunities to eliminate enemies), or quite the opposite - burning with anger towards us and trying to get rid of us.
Opponents and weapons
Fighting opponents is one of the main features of the game. On our way, we encounter hostile people and mutated animals living in Paris. The vegetation can also pose a threat.
On the battlefield, we primarily use firearms. Individual rifles and pistols can be modified and improved, allowing us to adapt them to individual needs and preferences. Moreover, depending on how our relationship with the forest looks like, it can support us, and even actively participate in battles and eliminate our enemies.
Game modes
Unlike previous VG Entertainment projects, Forest Reigns was designed exclusively for single-player fun.
