Wildmender for Xbox Series X|S

Revive plantlife in this simulation-survival game

Wildmender is a premium simulation game where players will have to revive a desert-like world and fill the environment with lush greens and bodies of water. This indie title from Muse Games puts a unique spin on your typical survival games by focusing more heavily on gardening.

While it’s not as gruesome as games like Left 4 Dead, Wildmender still employs some form of combat gameplay so players can still enjoy a sense of thrill. You’ll also have access to an array of weapons and other special items that you can collect along your journey.

Desert exploration

Visually, Wildmender presents a treat for the eyes with its use of colorful 3D graphics and a vast open world for you to explore. This creates a stunning in-game environment that you can fully immerse yourself in. You’ll come across various minerals, plants, and creatures along the way. This game's storyline involves journeying through diverse landscapes tackling combat and navigation hurdles. The game's world is exceptionally harsh, marked by water scarcity and rugged terrain in the desert, making survival a constant challenge.

Moreover, while embarking on your desert exploration, it's important to be prepared, as the scorching sun will gradually deplete your character's hydration levels in the open desert unless you seek refuge in the shade. Neglecting your water supply might collapse your character, underscoring the importance of keeping your water container filled and consuming hydrating foods.

Almost all can be customized

This game also allows you to personalize and modify your character's appearance, including hairstyle, hair color, and skin tone. Furthermore, you can diversify your character's attire by selecting from your crafted items and clothing. With the items you’ve gathered in your adventure, you can craft tools and weapons and even plant seeds to grow a lush and ever-blooming garden. Players can also freely decorate their gardens according to their preferences by digging canals and building structures where they can harness magical essences.

This game offers a customizable experience to suit every player's skill level. You'll discover various difficulty options within the game settings menu, allowing you to shape your gameplay experience. Whether you prefer a peaceful journey or a difficult challenge, you can select from multiple settings such as peaceful, normal, hard, and expert difficulties. Additionally, you can fine-tune parameters like enemy damage and health, among others. These extensive difficulty settings cater to players seeking a more challenging and demanding adventure.

The game also features a day-night cycle that you have to remain conscious of when nurturing your plants. Another notable feature of this game is that the world is procedurally generated, so each player’s experience is unique to themselves. Best of all, players can play with up to three other players in co-op mode, so they can help each other rebuild their worlds. Just keep in mind that the game requires a stable internet connection to play, as well as a minimum of 8 GB of available storage space.

With dynamic difficulty settings

Wildmender offers a unique blend of simulation and combat gameplay, challenging players to transform a desert-like world into a lush oasis. With its captivating 3D graphics and vast open world, the game immerses players in visually stunning environments filled with minerals, plants, and creatures. The game's dynamic difficulty settings cater to diverse player preferences, ensuring a tailored experience. However, players should note the game's need for a stable internet connection and 8 GB of storage space.
