Atrio: The Dark Wild on Steam
store.steampowered.com
Keep your disposable android-body alive by automating everything. Automate farming, foraging, crafting and capturing - and even assimilate creatures into your production lines during your impossible mission to relight the world.

I’ve thought about picking it up for a while now because (at least through art style) it seems like an interesting take in the genre.

Has anyone else played it? If so, what are your thoughts?

    I have played in Alpha and Beta and it just had its 1.0 release (I have about 21 hrs of playtime). I think it’s interesting that the game is in a 2.5D perspective. It should also be noted that it’s from a pretty small studio (about 2 people IIRC)

    Pros/Interesting:

    • Animals in the game can be captured and become a part of your factory (Frogs that suck air, Deer that give resources). I haven’t seen any other game do it quite as well as this one.
    • Original story where each objective is pretty concrete (build powerlines over there)

    Cons:

    • Early game can take a while since manual crafting from your inventory will happen for a while before you unlock a factory.
    • The replaceable robot thing gets old in my opinion and progress setbacks of having to run back to grab stuff can be annoying.

    Overall I would recommend if you like small indie teams 6.5/10.
