What is Rooted?
Rootedis an upcoming solo and multiplayer survival co-op game by Headlight Studio.
The studio comprises a team of five developers, setting their mark in the already saturated survival game genre.
Story
The game takes place in a futuristic world approaching the year 2100.
A looming bacteriological war threatens the existence of residents who were part of a once peaceful and glorious civilization.
Overgrown vegetation and dilapidated buildings are all that remain.
You play as one of the remaining survivors who must live through the harsh reality.
You will, however, come across AI-controlled survivors.
You must progress and adapt through the ruins of the past civilization that collapsed due to global bacteriological warfare.
Gameplay
The adventure inRootedstarts with exploration.
The vast, derelict, open world is littered with resources that can make your survival easier.
Much of what you’ll find may be broken or missing items that players can repair and recover.
However, for this to happen, you’ll need to build a crafting station known as the Workbench.
A fully functional workbench gives you access to blueprints that are key to repairing items from the post-apocalyptic era.
But first off, you will need a roof over your head.
The game will be laden with highly challenging conditions that call for shelter.
For this, you must collect wood, which is fundamental to constructing the shelter.
You may also customize your shelter to fit your personality.
Notably, the game uses mechanics to make the experience as authentic as possible.
For instance, navigating chilly weather will drastically impact your health.
Not to mention the great dangers long-distance travel holds.
Here is where your secondary outpost comes in.
With your blueprints in place, you’ve got the option to easily construct a second shelter.
Brace yourself for activities such as hunting, protecting your territory, and ensuring the water is not contaminated.
Speaking of territory, you will encounter hostility from ROTOR robots.
However, there are other dangers you should be wary of.
Some areas within the open world are contagious; without the right equipment, you risk contamination.
