Those Who Came: Healing Solarus

About

Those Who Came: Healing Solarus is a co-op survival RPG where you team up with up to four friends to rebuild a dying world. Manage resources, tackle environmental threats, and solve puzzles that require combined skills. The story follows two civilizations, Sainen and Torek, uniting to restore Solarus after a cataclysm. Each character has distinct abilities that must sync for progress, like combining fire and water to revive dead zones. The game leans heavily into collaborative problem solving, with mechanics that force players to rely on each other for survival. While the player base remains niche, community threads praise the depth of its teamwork systems and the evolving world state. Some note the steep learning curve and occasional balance issues, but the 2022 release has maintained a steady stream of updates. The art style and lore about symbiotic survival stand out, offering a quieter alternative to busier co-op titles.

And most importantly... will you survive?
