7.0
Surviving the Aftermath doesn't utilize its dire post-apocalyptic setting as well as it could have, but those looking for an addictive, mechanically dense city builder/management sim will find a lot of enjoyment here.

- 6.0In Surviving the Aftermath, players need to build a sustainable colony similar to Endzone: A World Apart. The storyline gives players a goal to work towards as they explore the world map and enhance their colony. Aside from the ineffective tutorial and tips section of the game, players can expect a fun city-building survival experience. At its core, Surviving the Aftermath is a high-stakes building game where the biggest challenge is making the right decisions in order to stay alive in a dangerous, apocalyptic world.
- 4.0Surviving The Aftermath is a competent enough entry in the “keep your tiny people alive by making sure they’re collecting enough resources and researching the right things to spend them on” genre, But a quantity over quality approach to systems and an uninspiring setting mean that the lingering echoes of better games make me wish I just was playing those instead.
- 7.0There’s a lot to like about Surviving the Aftermath and I became genuinely invested in the continued existence of my survivors, fighting and struggling with all I had to get them through the many hardships of living in a post-apocalyptic world. It’s unfortunate that I was constantly forced to return to exploring the turn-based world map, rather than having fun building stuff.
- 7.0There is this constant feeling that something new is just around the corner as its progression and upgrade system speed is spot on, but unfortunately nothing new comes and you are left with a sense of familiarity throughout. There is a lot to enjoy, but if you have played any city builder before, there isn’t anything new here that you won’t have seen before.
- 8.0World War Z: Aftermath improves on the base game in a number of ways. Despite the new content only adding a few short hours of gameplay, there are more reasons than ever for players to keep coming back for more.
