Since Minecraft and the sandbox survival boom of the early 2010s, the genre has continued to morph and expand, Towers of Aghasba being its latest offering.
Where some survival games have leaned more towards horror (The Forest) and others have delved into mythology (Valheim), there are some common tropes throughout, one being a feeling of isolation.
Wandering across Aghasba can sure feel lonely at times – albeit in a mysterious, enchanting way – yet one of this game’s highlights is how lived in the game world feels.You wash up on its shores accompanied by myriad members of your tribe, the Shimu.
You’ve set sail from Lehorra on a quest to restore the Shimu’s ancestral homeland of Aghasba, pursued by a sinister force known only as the Withered.
Instead of having you fend for yourself and create your own emergent survival odyssey, Towers of Aghasba features story-driven quests that help inject its world with colour and character while showing you the ropes.Ropes are pretty handy, actually, as are sticks, stones, and other basic materials you begin to gather.
