Merge Games has released Smalland: Survive the Wilds in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, offering a massive open-world survival adventure for players. In Smalland, players take on the role of the Smallfolk, a tiny race of people battling lake-sized puddles, mountainous trees, and monstrous creatures ranging from grasshoppers to geckos that see them as lower on the food chain.
As the Smallfolk, players must explore a rich and immersive landscape, scavenging materials to build encampments, crafting powerful armor sets and heart-warming food as they carve out their legacy in the wilds. They must also find and tame creatures to ride into battle and explore the world from a whole new perspective.
Smalland features a vast open world with unique biomes, allowing players to scale skyscraper-sized trees, scramble through cavernous cracks in roads, and more. Players can choose to play solo or with up to nine additional friends in multiplayer, with crossplay between Steam and Epic Games Store. They can explore the world and survive together or toggle friendly fire to bring the fight to others.
In the game, players can uncover ancient lore from hidden NPCs scattered throughout the world as they learn to survive in this hostile wilderness. They can also tame and ride wild creatures from geckos to spiders, with each mount providing a unique means of travel. The world and its inhabitants are theirs to conquer.
Players must scavenge, refine, and craft resources to build their encampment on the ground or in the canopy. They can claim a Great Tree to design and build a base that will follow them to any world, allowing them to join any server and take their camp with them. They can also craft powerful armor sets to personalize their appearance and grant resistance from the elements along with the abilities needed to survive.
Overall, Smalland: Survive the Wilds is an exciting and immersive open-world survival adventure that offers players a unique perspective on the genre. Its vast world, challenging creatures, and multiplayer options make it a must-play for fans of survival games. The game is available now on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
