RimWorld

RimWorld is a colony simulator about survivors stranded on a distant world. It describes itself as a story generator, because an AI storyteller like Cassandra Classic, Phoebe Chillax or Randy Random decides when raids, disasters and lucky breaks arrive.

Developed by Ludeon Studios and released in 2018 after years in Early Access, it has expansions like Royalty, Ideology, Biotech and Anomaly, along with a massive Steam Workshop, which is why players sink hundreds of hours into it.

RimWorld Game Information

RimWorld Gameplay Overview

Each colonist has skills, traits, relationships and moods. You assign work like cooking, building, research and doctoring, then design rooms, farms, defenses and power systems. Colonists can fall in love, hold grudges, develop addictions or snap during a mental break. Combat is tactical, with cover, armor and detailed injuries to individual body parts. Expansions add psychic powers, belief systems, children and gene editing.
