About RimWorld

About this game

RimWorld is a sci-fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller. It generates stories by simulating psychology, ecology, gunplay, melee combat, climate, biomes, diplomacy, and more.

Survive

You begin with three survivors of a shipwreck on a distant world. Your colonists are not professional settlers – they're survivors from a crashed ship. They're uneducated, so don’t know how to build shelter, find food and water, or defend themselves from the many threats that they will face. But not everything goes smoothly. starvation, disease, mental breakdowns, pirate raids...It's designed to co-author tragic, twisted, and triumphant stories about imprisoned pirates, desperate survivors, lone gunmen, and bumbling soldiers. It works by controlling the "random" events that the world throws at you. Every thunderstorm, pirate raid, and travelling salesman is a card dealt into your story by the AI Storyteller. There are several storytellers to choose from. Randy Random does crazy stuff, Cassandra Classic ramps up the difficulty, and Phoebe Friendly is… well… friendly.

Thrive

Build in the forest, desert, jungle, tundra, and more. Decorate your colonies to make them feel like home. Watch your colonists develop relationships with one another. Source the resources you need to survive and thrive and expand your colony until it spans the globe.

Try Again

The game is very complex and challenging, but also very rewarding. There are many different ways to play RimWorld, and no two games will ever be the same. It is a game that has a lot of replay value, as you can try different strategies and approaches each time you play. If you are looking for a game that is both challenging and fun, it will certainly appeal to fans of strategy and management games

I bought this game on a recommendation of a friend, or someone I'd call a friend. After burying about 24 hours into this game in the past week or so. I'm not sure this guy is really my friend. This game is absolutely addictive. I love it. The challenge it presents is unique. I want to get the grasp of the base game before I add on any of the other content. In the first ten days or so, absolutely love this game. I hate the person who suggested I play it because my wife is mad because I'm on my laptop all of the time.

Rimworld totally hooked me. I played through an entire 100 hour playthrough, evolving my characters, watching their bizarre post apocalyptic interactions and getting attached to them. It truly is an amazing game, highly recommended!

Good base game with DLC that slots in nicely

Very well polished and relatively simple gameplay in the base game. DLCs expand different aspects of the game and keep things fresh after you learnt he base game. If you're bored after that, the modding scene is very lively.
