Each month we are bringing you the best and most interesting Kickstarter games, from charming indies to inevitable blockbuster hits. Here it is!
Ever wanted to go to Mars? Well, now you can, virtually anyway. This month we take a look at ROKH, a Sci Fi survival game currently on Kickstarter. Check out the video below, along with the Honorable Mentions and the latest Wikia communities based on successful Kickstarter campaigns!
ROKH is “deeply rooted in both scientific and realistic anticipation.” While the game can be played solo, survival is also at it’s hardest when in this harsh and unforgiving environment. The air is nigh un-breathable without filters and equipment to make it tolerable, sandstorms rock the planet and frozen nights may prove deadly.
Players arrive as part of the Mars Colonization Program and must immediately find ways to survive. Gather your friends or make new ones and decide where to build a base. This survival sandbox features 155 square miles of terrain to explore.
This game also supports PVP, so hack into the life support system of an unwanted neighbor, find a way past their security and steal their supplies! Development plans include user created mods, so the possibilities could be endless. If you want to back this on Kickstarter, move quickly — the campaign ends June 5.
