Strayward, voxel survival game with realistic guns, revealed on Steam
The open-world title offers hand-crafted maps, editable terrain and co-op for up to four players in total.
Strayward, an open-world voxel survival game built around a realistic firearm system, has been revealed on Steam. The project is covered by gamerant.com.
Rather than generating a world at random, Strayward ships with multiple hand-crafted voxel maps. Every voxel in those maps can be edited, and players can build shelters furnished with furniture, crafting stations and storage.
Combat mixes melee weapons with a variety of guns whose performance is affected by shooting conditions and ammunition types, alongside what the game describes as authentic ballistics. Roaming bosses and random events are also part of the loop.
Strayward supports solo play or co-op with up to three other players. No release date or price has been announced.
The blocky survival format has drawn steady interest since Minecraft, one of the most successful games ever made, popularised the voxel aesthetic. Minecraft mods have long added firearms to Mojang's sandbox, whose base game sticks to swords, crossbows and other older weaponry. Other projects in the space include Hytale, Steam's Astromine and the upcoming Direland.
