I am following that game since a few years. And to be honest, it evolved a lot lately (in the good direction) and is always a pleasure to discover what new things have been added after a few calm months.

It is one of the most in depth survival games around (not the zombie style, but the one were you are sent into wilderness with nothing but a knife and have to find a way to make your own food, fire, clothes, house...).

I love the fact too that it is based on the real finnish medieval era, with an encyclopedia full of details about traditions and objects : added to the survival fun, it is also a travel back in time to another culture

Easily my most favourite survival game its lovely if you like survival games get this now!

I played over 100 hours of this and im not bored its endless!

I knew about this game quite long time before I actually played it. Despite the high expectations I was totally sold after the first gameplay. The amount of content in this game is breathtaking. There's already lots of to do and thanks to developers it stays like that in the future as well.

Easily one of my favorite RPGs and the best survival game I have every played.

Huge thanks to URW developers.

One of the most indepth survival simulators on the web, only held back by it's 2D graphics (which by no means is a bad thing). The interface can be clunky and hard to toy with at times, but veterans, and even rookies of Dwarf Fortress will find this graphical interface easy on the eyes.

Whether it's spending three in-game hours fishing for the meal that may keep you alive for the next day, or hunting for that elk that tore you apart last week, or even just trading with a near by village for that arrow you've always wanted, this game does almost everything. With it being in development since 1992, you're bound to see so much more content in the future. Not to mention the moddable crafting system which allows for fan made content.

Hello iam Wolvgar,

part of the Unreal World Community. I started playing UW at Version 3.14 i think. It was a blast, a very steep learning curve - but absolutly fun! Loosing is fun, dying to a huge bear is fun. In over ten years in gaming expirience, i started with UFO Unknown on a PC with a Matrox G 400, i can say that this game right now has an outstanding level of quality GAMEPLAY - not graphics! But you know theres a good community graphic mod that helps a lot.

What do a gamer care about? Depth of gameplay! And replayability. This game offers both. And because iam enyoing this game for free right now i want to pay back with this review. Its the least thing i can do to support the developer of this fantastic piece of art. Its a gift to his fatherland and a gift to all people who enjoy deep strategy rpg's with survival!

One more thing, dont expect to make it long enough to see the first winter coming. You'll propably end up being raped by a bear or some unfriendly robbers.

Lonely fisher on a small island, living in a log house, trapper in the vast forest living in a hide tent, villager of one of the many cultures you can start with, robber, murderer, gatherer, thief, adventurer. It's up to you.

The game is ready to play and more content will be added in the future. It's a pearl of game history and needs to be poolished! Help, play, vote, buy or donate!

See you in the dark ages!

Best roguelike survival game for sure! Devoted developers that actually hear their community!

That's the way to do it.

First I was overwhelmed by the simple graphics and a lack of feedback from the game. After few hours of learning the ropes, quite a number of key shortcuts and reading the forums I was nose deep in this very complex game-portrait of a pre-industrial Ugro-Finnish like society. After many hours of cursing, sweating, fighting (and murdering), tracking, crafting and grinding my skills I can say that this game is a very peculiar master-piece deserving several hours of seemingly steep learning curve. Kudos to the developer cherishing this jewel for so many years. I hope he will be able to spent many years yet on improving and implementing everything he wants in this game.

If only this was a multiplayer. Well, maybe in five years, I'll keep my hope.

Of all the roguelike/survival games I've tried, UnReal World is the best. The combination of realism, continuous new development, attention to detail, and developer's attention to suggestions by players are second to none.

The UnReal World is easily one of the best games I've had the pleasure of enjoying. Very few sandbox style games offer the kind of depth and challenge that this game offers. This is a game that forces you to keep acting even when things seem comfortable, to "play the long game" so to speak, so that you'll be as well-prepared as possible when the weather heads south.

It's equal parts a race against time for survival and leisurely enjoying life as a woodsman and adventurer, without the need to make up beasts more ferocious than what already exist. I encourage everyone to try this game and support it like I did if you enjoy it.

If you are a fan of both roguelikes and survival games, Unreal World is a must play. It manages to grasp the details of living in the wilderness, while it keeps the fun on top. You can fish, make your own tools, trade with other tribes, do your own tent of even build yourself a nice cottage.

The hunting is awesome. You can track animals and endure a harsh hunting trip to follow an elk that can determine if you will survive or perish in the winter. One must also watch the weather and the temperature, as they can make your life easier or harder.

The controls are hard in the beginning, if you're not used to roguelike games. But as you progress through the game, it becomes an extension of you. The game uses pixel graphics, nevertheless, they are colorful and well made.

In sum, UnReal World will change your concept of what a survival game is.
