I know what you’re thinking, that open-world survival games are a dime a dozen, right? House 16 Software unveiled ORMOD: Directive, a post-apocalyptic survival game in which every world is unique, so no two playthroughs feel overly similar. You can customize the placement of towns, landmarks, and roads, and enjoy seemingly endless replayability and survival gameplay. Let’s take a look!
ORMOD: Directive will feature survival gameplay, exploration, base building, automation, crafting, and combat. Supposedly, the world around you will evolve and change as you play, and continue to do so when you’re offline, too. Whether that means your base is vulnerable when you’re not around remains to be seen, of course.
What To Expect From ORMOD: Directive
Developer House 16 Software plans to craft an expansive, exhaustive post-apocalyptic sandbox with survival elements that should keep fans busy. Here’s a look at the features they have coming:
- Infinite and Fully Customizable Worlds – Explore a completely endless world that is different every time you play, and procedurally generated towns, roads, buildings, and terrain that can be tailored to your preferred difficulty and playstyle.
- Play Your Way on Private or 24/7 Servers – Host your own survival sessions with friends or join persistent 24/7 community servers across multiple modes, including PvP, PvE, Hardcore, Creative, and assorted minigames.
- Physical and Persistent Item Simulation – Every item in the world exists physically and stays exactly where it is left. Loot shelves for your home base, steal items off other players, or stumble upon the aftermath of someone else’s adventure.
- Unique Tile-Based Building System – Build your base using a flexible tile-based construction system not seen in any other game, then defend it against machines or rival players.
- Full Resource Automation and Mega-Factories – Automate every resource in the game by constructing complex production lines and fully functioning factories capable of manufacturing weapons, supplies, equipment, and more.
- Realistic Combat and Weapon Simulation – Engage in grounded, skill-based combat featuring leaning, slow and fast reloads, complete weapon modification, and advanced physics including penetration and armor simulation.
- Deep Survival Gameplay – Manage hunger, sickness, temperature, injuries, farming, cooking, and medical conditions in an unforgiving world that constantly pushes back.
- Skills, Quests, and Trading – Level up your character, complete quests, trade with others, and interact in a dynamic item-driven economy.
- Dynamic World Events – Respond to helicopter crash sites, global PvP events, airdrops, and other world-changing encounters that create constant opportunities and risks.
- Vehicles With True-to-Life Handling – Repair and operate vehicles such as cars and helicopters, each with realistic driving and flight mechanics, including manual gears.
- A Constant Nighttime Threat – Survive against roaming mechanoids that emerge after dark and hunt players relentlessly, offering danger even when playing alone.
