Bohemia Interactive, known for the realistic open-world shooter Arma 3, has released Ylands, a survival game where you can seamlessly switch between single and multiplayer.
“Create your own adventure” is the motto of the title. Because Ylands offers you more than just the typical survival game that you might know from many other titles. It includes an editor that allows you to create your own worlds and complete games using simple scripting and thousands of objects, which you can then share with other players.
Seamless transition between single-player and multiplayer
Essentially, Ylands offers you a large, open game world that you can explore freely. You gather resources to build a ship with which you sail to other islands. There, you descend into deep caves to find valuable treasures or rare resources needed to craft certain items.
In Ylands, you seamlessly switch between single and multiplayer modes. Exploring a dungeon can be an exciting single-player experience, while you meet other players on a newly discovered island. Join forces with them to build settlements together.
However, not everyone is on your side. PvP also plays a role, and if, for example, you have built an impressive castle, other players might show up to besiege it and take it over.
Live out your childhood fantasies
The developers want to give you many opportunities to let loose in the game world. This includes naval battles, car races, taming horses and riding them, brewing potions with magical effects, or starting large projects together, such as creating monuments and much more.
Ylands utilizes a unique and special graphic style aimed at appealing to a younger audience. Because that’s exactly what it’s about: living out childhood fantasies in the game.
The game is now available for download on Steam for 15 euros (currently reduced to 12 euros).
