Endzone – A World Apart
The campaign begins with the fact that in 2021 terrorists began to massively undermine the power plants of the planet, plunging humanity into chaos. Escaped to the underground bunkers of the "endozone" for 150 years, he hid from a general catastrophe and finally decided to return to the surface. Lead a group of survivors in a harsh radioactive environment. The ever-changing climate, dirty and toxic rains and the enemy in the form of terrorist groups will force you to learn how to survive from scratch and prove that you are a real leader. You must build a shelter on a hostile surface. There are 30 different building types available for the convenience of your settlers. However, expansion will require a variety of resources and a well-planned economy. Develop efficient infrastructure, stock up on provisions, make your home comfortable for long stays.

If you enjoyed Banished then this is for you. Endzone is better balanced, the housing AI works and its actually possible to hit a stable population. Can't say I prefer the dingy post apocalypse art style but thats not what i play this type of game for!
For those of you who didn't play Banished, Endzone is survival meets city builder/resource management game on the 'serious' end of the casual/hardcore gamer scale. Endzone is easy enough for a veteran of the genre, not too difficult for a sim/tycoon/city builder enthusiast but punishing for anyone new to this style of game.
If you are after a cozy sim style difficulty or afk play this is not for you - I add this as most of the negative reviews I've seen complain about difficulty/learning curve. The game will be challenging to most people but it is not the most difficult game of its type and i don't think its accurate to call it too hard, its just not a game style for everyone.
I enjoyed the scenarios however I feel they could of been a bit harder as only one was difficult enough that i didn't complete it first try. They could of been a little more variety there too if i'm totally honest.
All in all well worth a play if you already enjoy this style game

My kids gave this to me for Fathers day and I have to say I have been having a lot of fun with it. Its a basic city builder, nothing crazy, no action. You just guide your little people through a post apocolyptic expanse.
If you are not into city builders im not sure how much you will like it but it that kinda gameplay is your jam id reccommend picking it up.

I'm not a huge fan of the genre, but I was Instantly hooked on this wonderful post-apocalyptic city builder. Pro Tip: do the tutorial first, there is no way in heck I would have known how to play the game otherwise. The music is sublime!

Flawed but good city builder for those who want more of something like the good old Banished.
The tutorial is hours long and shows almost every mechanic of the game, but it betrays the game by being really easy whereas the game itself and especially at the beginning is very punishing. There are bandits attacking in regular intervals but they're a pushover if you have choke points and towers. Not having a safety buffer of water, food and enough protective clothing are the factors that can end a game. The game has a weird difficulty curve that it's really difficult at first and once you've carved out your mark on the landscape and optimized everything it'll turn piss easy. But it's still a fun time and a more full fledged city builder than something like Caesar 3 that punishes extremely heavily for not building the city out of perfect modules.

It’s a fun game to pass the time, but after several repetitions it starts to get boring. The game should have been explored more in terms of content.

Endzone - A World Apart is a solid game in the style of Tropico.
Overall it is fun to play up to around 250-300 people in your settlement, after that you have experienced everything you can experience in this game and it becomes stale.
The scenarios in this game are bare bones, not like the fantastic scenarios in the Tropico franchise.
The fact that you can only gather most achievements in survival mode and not the scenarios really irks me.
Beware of the dlcs, they are not needed for the achievements and they don't add anything meaningfull to the game, they are just a waste of money.
Overall I give this game 6,5/10, recommended for genre enthusiasts.

Endzone A World Apart - 100% Completion Review
Score: 7.5/10
Endzone is a Post Apocalyptic Survival City Builder, after fully completing this game i'll give some Pro's, Neutrals and Cons
Pro's:
-Good building designs
-Building is simple and easy to understand
-Resources are all relatively simple and easy to collect
-Survival mode has lots of settings to play how you want
-Can create expeditions to scout out ruins
-Has survival elements but nothing too unfair
-Everything built is nice and even, good for people with ocd
-Good research tree
-Good performance, no bugs, crashes or lag
Neutrals: "No Score Change From These"
-Music is ok, your typical wasteland dreary type of music
-Raiders can be annoying, game is more fun if you simply turn 'em off
-Builders can take forever to get to a build site
Cons:
-Tools and clothing are a nightmare to maintain due to how insanely fast the citizens will go through them, tool and clothing degradation needs to be fixed
-Population can explode out of control if you build too many houses, shelters are pretty much mandatory
-Finding seeds in ruins is too rng, your better off just unlocking them all at the start of the game
-Game doesn't auto assign a citizen to a job when the old one dies, has to be done manually which is a bit annoying
Overall Endzone A World Apart is a pretty solid survival city builder, it has a few flaws but if you like city builders or survival type of games then you will probably like this one just fine regardless, but as always, It's.. Up.. To.. You, and i'll leave it at that (^_−).
