Polish development outfit Donkey Crew, who started as a modding group for Mount & Blade, announced that their nomadic survival-MMO is prepping to enter into Early Access on Steam starting March 26th. The name of the game is Last Oasis, and you can currently wishlist the game right now by visiting the Steam store page ahead of its official launch.
The game looks like a mix between Guns of Icarus and Mad Max.
Players will create a character in a post-apocalyptic world that’s set thousands of years from now, presumably after the globalists got their way and open-borders brought man to the brink of extinction.
The story for the game is actually pretty badass. It’s set on the last habitable city called Flotilla, trapped between icy cold and scorching deserts. As the planet rotates around the sun, only Flotilla manages to be a livable place all year around, but in order to keep it going nomadic hunters are set out into the world to gather supplies and resources to keep humanity hanging on by a thread. This is where you, the player, comes in.
My biggest concern was whether or not you could even make white characters since everyone in the trailer looked dark-skinned.
There’s that instant fear that this is yet another one of those anti-white games, like Mass Effect: Andromeda or Battletech, where gamers had to beg the developers for pale-skinned options. However, there was another trailer showing that you could make fair-skinned custom characters as they outlined how you utilize a walker to scour the land for resources.
You can also make use of a grappling hook to reach vertical-inclined obstructions and organic towers spread throughout the land. You can check out the trailer below.
The Batman-style grappling looks a little janky and reminds me of Studio Wildcard’s ARK: Survival Evolved, but there’s room to improve on the way the grappling animations play out and giving gamers something a little more visually enticing as you swing from one decrepit looking tree to the next.
The one thing that actually makes the game stand out are the sandworms.
The Dune-inspired sandworms look quite devastating, and offer players a lot of resources if they can kill them.
The sandworm definitely looks impressive moving about the sand dunes. You can get a glimpse of what it’s like with the developer video below.
I’m still apprehensive about some of the character customization choices, but hopefully this isn’t one of those games steeped in woke politics, but I’m not confident that it isn’t.
It’s a shame we don’t get more games like Conan: Exiles, where they just throw up the middle-fingers to the woke crowd and let you have naked characters running around everywhere, hot slave women in your abode, and the ability to terrorize and subjugate lesser civilizations to your indomitable will.
Anyway, Last Oasis is due to enter Steam Early Access on March 26th. You can learn more by visiting the Steam store page.
