Dysterra is a large-scale online survival game set on an abandoned planet called Dysterra within the visual power of the Unreal Engine 4. 

Find a way to survive, mining the most evolved energy mineral Terrasite on the Earth where a big pillar of fire, Terrafire, is destroying everything. Discover raw materials and craft tools for your survival. The Earth’s fate is in your hands.

Gather up useful materials and craft clothes, weapons or food with them for your survival. Earn some fresh meat from animals and cook them on the grill that you can craft with resources. To survive longer, you need to look after your body condition to avoid getting cold, heatstroke, or radiation positioning. You need your own housing to survive. With 16 different housing parts, you can build up your housing as you want. Construct workbench, storage, grill, and turret for your safety.

Fans of the genre will enjoy Dysterra’s survival systems, from item crafting to its intuitive base-building. However, unlike some other survival games, Dysterra eliminates those tedious barriers players of the genre often complain about. You’ll start each game with a sidearm and rifle, crucially cutting down the time it takes to engage with enemy players and AI. Your high-tech machine arm will also significantly speed up crafting and gathering resources, allowing players to focus on survival instead of time-consuming tasks. These design choices are aimed at keeping the action focused and accessible to newcomers who might be put off by some aspects of the survival genre.

Last month Reality MagiQ shared their 2023 Dysterra roadmap, revealing that new content will be coming each month. Alongside new weapons, vehicles and housing features, Dysterra will introduce two new underground areas for survivors to explore in Season 2.

• The Bunker: The bunker is a free-for-all space where survivors will face off in tense skirmishes to loot new resources.
• The Hyena Den: The Hyena Den is a new private instance dungeon where players won’t encounter other survivors. Here you’ll be free to gather resources and improve your gear without threat from other players, though there are still enemy NPCs to watch out for.

Key Features:

• Compete or Cooperate: Join the official server, and compete with others big time! Dysterra has Sci-Fi FPS setting where you can literally get in battles with every single player you come in contact with. However, teaming up is always an option to compete with other players in a team.
  Don’t worry if you don’t prefer PvP games because Dysterra also offers both PvE and single player mode.
• Real time Spot Events and Competition for Facility Domination: Explore the main facilities before anybody else does to get in hold of special skills and resources for higher-tier items that can make you superior.
• Variety of Contents In the Midst of Intense Survival: Develop yourself and your machine arm in the Sci-Fi based world of Dysterra. Equip yourself with strong armors and weapons. Build and expand your base to feel the best Sci-Fi FPS experience.

Dysterra is in development for PC (Steam).
