STEALTH🤫
Combat in Winter Survival takes a little different approach than you might know from many survival games out there. Fighting to survive it’s not an easy task, even for a veteran. In Winter Survival you’re a rookie in this field. Life would be just a little bit easier if you had any weapon that you could use. However, that’s not the case in the game. How do you survive in the wilderness, then? The answer is STEALTH.
DISTRACT
In most cases, sneaking past the predators will be enough, but what if they’re blocking the entrance to the cave for example? Then, distraction is your best friend. Scout the terrain around you, and see if there's any objects that you can use. Maybe there is a rock nearby that you can throw somewhere, to distract the wolves for a while. That crow over there? Throw a snowball into it and use the momentum to move along.
SNEAK
Sometimes you might be stuck between a rock and hard place, and sneaking past your enemies is your only chance to survive. Every single step counts, and if you happen to make a single mistake, you’ll be punished for it.
TORCH🔥
In some cases, you’ll end up in a dire situation, and your last chance to survive is your torch. It’ll scare away the wolves and give you a brief moment to escape. However, your resources are limited, so you have to choose wisely whether it’s worth it to use it.
DEATH☠️
Harsh winter conditions, limited resources, and predators lurking in the forest – The journey back home won’t be an easy one. Here, you’re the prey, and if you make even a small mistake, you’ll pay the price for it. The more careful you’re, the higher chances you have to survive.
STAY UP-TO-DATE
And that’s it for today, survivors! ❄️Feel free to let us know what you think about this kind of approach to combat. We hope that you’ll enjoy it, as we’re getting closer and closer to the prologue release. Just to remind you – a free prologue will be available for you on February 6th, 2023! Last but not least, don’t forget to follow us on social media channels, so you can stay up-to-date with any news.
