New Gamer Nation:
Unicube’s Sheltered puts you in control of a family of four after the devastating events of a nuclear apocalypse. Housed in a secure bunker, you will have to fight, steal and scavenge your way towards survival. Managing resources, upgrading systems and crafting items is paramount when keeping your family alive.
The gameplay throughout this randomly generated 2D survival strategy game is divided between life in the shelter, putting you in charge of managing your survivors, upgrading systems and crafting items and encounters out in the wild, where you will bump into other survivors who are looking to trade, join you or fight you. The key aspect of Sheltered is managing your resources in order to survive for as long as you can in this harsh new world. Food to eat, water to drink and clean and fuel to run your generator are your key resources making gameplay quite intense when stocks are low because without them life in the bunker will become incredibly difficult.
Shaun writes: I’ll start by saying I’m a terrible father. That’s how Sheltered made me feel. On starting the game you’re given the choice on the make up of your family and I decided to pretty much base it on my own, though I did gift myself an extra child, a son called Isaac.
I thought creating and naming the family after my own would give me extra incentive to succeed, but boy did I fail epically hard!
The Indie Game Website writes: "Sheltered has been out for a couple of years on PC and is now gracing the Switch with its desolate, stressful presence. Set in the wake of a post-apocalyptic disaster, you have one goal: try and keep your family alive. The entire world has fallen into ruin, so rather than working towards the greater good, you just have to keep your loved ones alive for as long as you can."
Team17, a global games label, creative partner and developer of independent, premium video games in partnership with Unicube announced that Sheltered is out now on Nintendo Switch™.
Looking forward to playing this!
