TinyBuild and All Parts Connected have unveiledAll Will Fall, which bills itself as a physics-based survival city builder and involves building a settlement atop the flooded ruins of human civilization. It’s planned to release in 2025, but an open playtest for it runs from now until January 31st.
Do you likeTimberborn? If you answered “no,” you should probably playTimberborn. It’s great!All Will Fallis a bit like that but with fewer beavers. This would normally be seen as a net negative, but it makes up for the lack of Castoridae by sending you out to sea, where you construct penthouses on the tops of skyscrapers that jut out from the endless ocean.
Like many survival city builders, you’ll have to seek out scarce resources and harvest the bounties of the sea. It’s a good thing humans produce so much garbage because that’s the only source of building material. You have to build walkways to other buildings to access resources there, but be careful, because that’s where the “physics-based” side of things comes into play. Fly too close to the sun, and you may come crashing down, Icarus. Although the game warns you well in advance that your structure isn’t stable and gives you the opportunity to fix it, so you won’t find that the super-mall you worked so hard to build is sensitive to slight breezes only after you’ve completed it.
I got an early hands-on look at the playtest version, and you can read all my messy thoughts here. It’s fun! Still, a lot of screws to be tightened, but an enjoyable experience nonetheless. TheTimberborninfluence can be easily felt, but it’s very much its own unique experience. Maybe try it out.
The playtest forAll Will Fallruns from now until January 31ston Steam. It will release sometime in 2025.
