Revive plantlife in this simulation-survival game

Wildmender is a 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 the gardening aspect.

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.

Create your own garden

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. Along the way, you’ll come across various minerals, plants, and creatures. However, there are some opposing forces you need to be wary of, as well.

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. 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.

Play with friends

Wildmender mixes elements of calming gardening gameplay while also presenting players with open-world exploration and combat gameplay. By pairing this unique combination of traits with the ability to build your garden however you’d like and the opportunity to play with friends in co-op mode, players can expect a unique experience like no other. However, you’ll need to keep some system requirements in mind if you want to run the game smoothly.
