Long before the existence of human civilization, life was just beginning. New forms of life and creatures were born, from the smallest to the largest. Millennia have passed since then, and our heroes once again have the opportunity to be in the form of a small human being. New heroes will try to survive among the insect and animal world. The main task of the heroes will be to save their people and reveal the secrets of the worlds above.

Survival elements, in the game Smalland: Survive the Wilds.

One of the most important things in Smalland: Survive the Wilds is the character’s food needs. You need to search and collect food to live difficult days. And not even in the absence of food, problems can arise, as the environment changes from time to time. You need to prepare for difficult weather conditions, where the air temperature can change. Therefore, you will have to manage to build suitable houses and make the right clothes.

About enemies, in the game Smalland: Survive the Wilds.

Each type of hostile insect is dangerous in its own way, has its own attack power and size. It is difficult to fight against some creatures for a long time, as relatives come to help them. Therefore, after several defeated enemies, it is possible or probably necessary to retreat. Relatives other ants, wasps and others can come to the aid of the attacking insect.

After the first defeated insect, for example, an ant, a special mark is applied to the hero. Such a mark remains from the mucus of the insect. By this mark, our hero can be found by other ants. From ants it is easy to convince, since our hero quickly runs and jumps. You can jump onto a leaf that is in a puddle and the ants will not go further. It is more difficult with Wasps, as they fly, but you can also run away.

The player will have to study the behavior of hostile insects in order to choose the appropriate battle tactics. At the same time, each insect has its own weaknesses. Thanks to weaknesses, you can speed up the battle process and defeat the enemy faster. Given the weaknesses of the insect, you can strengthen your sides and this may allow you to stay longer in the battle.

Gameplay of Smalland: Survive the Wilds.

At the beginning of the game, our hero is an ordinary walking insect and cannot fly. The simplest paramount things are the collection of simple resources, in the form of branches, leaves and other resources. From simple resources, you can make items that are assembled by hand. Such items can be tools, an ax, a club, a hammer. With an ax we can collect other resources such as mushrooms. The club will come in handy as the first melee weapon. Well, the hammer is needed for construction, you can build a fire, a tent and other early buildings.

In the future, we can start attacking simple insects and reach more complex and large ones. At the same time, the defeated insect also provides resources that can be spent on making improved armor and weapons. Thus, hostile insects open access to new technologies.

Some interesting features in the game Smalland: Survive the Wilds.

As the hero develops, he can master flight technologies. You can craft wings, climb to the top of a tree, and jump off. The character will fly for a long time and for a decent distance. The flight allows you to enjoy the best beauties of the surrounding world. Also, the character can build a hook that will allow you to climb to the upper parts of the terrain.

Mounts in Smalland: Survive the Wilds.

Since the world around us is large, our character will need a vehicle. To do this, the developers have included the ability to move to other insects. These include the grasshopper, dragonfly, spider and lizard. It should be noted that the dragonfly will allow you to fly to a great height and move the character over a long distance.

An analogue of the game Smalland: Survive the Wilds.

The closest analogue to Smalland: Survive the Wilds is GROUNDED. GROUNDED also has the very big world theme where our heroes are small and also fight insects. But, there are differences, this is the surrounding atmosphere itself, the appearance of the characters, the buildings and the gameplay itself. Smalland: Survive the Wilds is more suitable for older players than GROUNDED.

Conclusion on the game Smalland: Survive the Wilds.

The developers are very pleased by starting to develop the game Smalland: Survive the Wilds. Although the game already had an approximate brother, in the form of GROUNDED. However, I was less than expected that a new game in a similar genre would be much better. I must say that the developers from the Merge Games studio did it.
