Climber will let you conquer the summit of Everest or K2 -apkrig
In March this year, we wrote about the game Insurmountable, in which you can become a climber. The title was released at the end of April, and even though it did not become a hit, the players apparently like it according to the responses. But as some of you have lamented, it was not a realistic simulation. This is exactly the alternative to the game Climber: Sky is the Limit from the Art Games Studio team, which is due to arrive on Steam this year and its authors are about to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.
The authors are tempted that in their first person survival simulation we will try to conquer some of the highest and most dangerous peaks, including Everest, K2 and Broad Peak. But in order to go on a similar expedition at all, we must first find sponsors and plan the whole trip. We will then fight the bad weather on the spot, we will learn to work with all sorts of climbing equipment and we must avoid exhaustion.
If you are looking for another challenge, you can try to conquer the mountain without an oxygen mask, or get to the top in the dark.
Every expedition should be different, simply because there is not just one route to the top. We should choose the path carefully, because according to the authors, each has its advantages and disadvantages. Even her choice can decide whether or not we will be caught in the vagaries of extreme weather as we ascend. According to the team, it is important not only where we go, but also when we set off. For example, on a longer, safer path, you may be caught and trapped by storms, while you may be able to catch a more challenging climb in time, but there are other risks.
It is also necessary to plan food rations carefully, because the player’s hunger will deprive him of energy and morale, the authors claim. If you don’t carry your gear, you can get rid of something along the way. But what can you really miss? Of course, the winter will also haunt you. You must not cool down, otherwise you are done. And if, on the other hand, you look for another challenge, you can try to conquer the mountain without an oxygen mask, or get to the top in the dark.
The authors themselves say that this is the first similar simulation. They attract to the most dangerous and difficult peaks, where extreme weather prevails. The game is therefore created in collaboration with experts in the field. The developers promise realistic graphics, but in this sense, be sure to keep expectations in check. Similar simulations are not usually the most beautiful games in the world.
Climber: Sky is the Limit is aimed at the PC. The Kickstarter campaign is set to begin in a few weeks, but a playable demo will be available during the October Steam Next Fest from October 1st to 7th. Soon you can see for yourself if the novelty deserves your attention.
