What is Afterworld?
Afterworld is a post-apocalyptic survival grand strategy game developed by Paradox Development Studio. You begin with a small tribe of survivors in the ruins of North America and gradually build settlements, alliances and eventually a continent-spanning empire.
Each campaign takes place across a semi-procedural wasteland where resources, tribes and threats can change between playthroughs. Exploration drives the dynamic Ideas Tree, while laws, diplomacy, scarce resources, warfare and encounters with the immortal Ancients shape the society you create.
