Survival: The Ultimate Challenge is a response of the Techland studio to the popularity of Castaway: Beyond the World and TV programmes in the style of Risk. Production combines elements of life simulation, real time strategy and action game.
The player's task is to lead a group of survivors who are far from civilization. This requires satisfying basic physiological needs (hunger, thirst, sleep), as well as caring about maintaining a sufficiently high morale.
The game is divided into a number of missions with randomly generated maps. The challenges faced by the player depend primarily on the climate of the location - the struggle for survival in the tropics, the desert or the ice-ridden desert looks different. Demolitioners need food, water, a safe resting place, clothing, tools, medicines, etc. They are threatened by wildlife, extreme weather conditions as well as too low or high temperatures.
Some of the raw materials necessary for survival are available immediately (e.g. as residues in a wreck of a destroyed aircraft), others have yet to be acquired. During the game, the player can direct the actions of each member of the group. Individual survivors differ in nature and predisposition, so it is important to appoint the right people to carry out specific tasks.
Survival visuals: The Ultimate Challenge does not deviate from low-budget production standards from the end of the 20th century. Three-dimensional graphical environment does not impress with detail or quality of workmanship. A much better impression is made by the background music accompanying the game.
