Survive the Fall

About Survive the Fall

Survive the Fall is a post-apocalyptic open-world RPG from Angry Bulls Studio, launching on PC May 22, 2025. It blends base-building, survival mechanics, and tactical combat in a world shattered by a meteor strike. You scavenge ruins, craft tools, and lead a group of survivors to fortify a settlement. The story focuses on rebuilding society while fending off rival factions and adapting to volatile environments. With single-player gameplay, the game emphasizes resource management and strategic decision-making over action set pieces. It’s a slow-burn survival sim with a focus on community dynamics and long-term planning.

Gameplay

You spend most sessions exploring ruined cities and wastelands to gather materials, then return to your base to expand defenses or craft gear. Survivors each have unique skills, engineers repair structures, medics treat injuries, and fighters handle combat. Battles are turn-based tactical affairs where positioning and resource allocation matter more than reflexes. Managing morale and supply chains is key; let food run out, and productivity drops. The open world has scattered settlements to claim, but hostile factions attack unpredictably. Progress feels incremental, with each playthrough rewarding careful planning over aggressive expansion.

What Players Think

Ranked #77 on Twitch, Survive the Fall has a niche but growing audience. Early reviews praise its depth but note a steep learning curve, average completion rate sits at 42%.

The most common mood tag is “relaxed” (48%), followed by “frustrating” (29%) due to resource scarcity.

PlayPile's Take

Best for fans of slow-paced survival RPGs who enjoy logistics over action. With no price listed yet and a completion rate under 50%, it’s a gamble but offers rewarding depth for those patient enough to master its systems. If you’re tired of clicky survival loops and want something that tests your planning skills, give it a shot. Just be ready to invest 20+ hours for a satisfying payoff.

Storyline

A meteor strike has brought an end to civilization as we knew it. Humanity is on the brink of extinction.

Build a settlement as a safe haven and new home for your survivors. Leverage their strengths and abilities for the greater good. For only as a close-knit community will you be able to overcome these harsh new times, where rivaling factions fight for supremacy and can rebuild society against seemingly overwhelming odds.
