Evaluation

Outpost launched as a free-to-play game on May 1, 2020 and received consistent post-launch updates. The developer shipped a major free Chapter II update on July 18, 2020, followed by additional feature patches through late 2020. After a period of quiet (during which the developer was working on a separate game called Valor), they returned in February 2023 with the free Outpost 2.0 update and announced the paid expansion Outpost: Kingdoms. That expansion launched on September 13, 2023, completing the content roadmap that had been outlined since early 2023. The most telling signal came on April 17, 2024, when the developer announced a brand-new game — Spellslinger Towns — stating they had been working on it for the past few months. This announcement, posted on the Outpost news feed, effectively signals that the studio's active development focus has shifted away from Outpost. There have been no further content announcements, roadmap posts, or update patches for Outpost after the Kingdoms DLC shipped in September 2023. Both DLC entries in the store are released, no unreleased DLC is listed, and no future content for Outpost has been communicated. The developer's shift to a new title, combined with the absence of any post-Kingdoms content signals, indicates that Outpost reached its content conclusion with the Kingdoms expansion on September 13, 2023.

About this game





Outpost brings the perfect mix between survival and roguelite gameplay. Start the game in a randomly generated environment and try to make it through as many nights as possible. How long can you survive?


Each playthrough starts in a different season, forcing you to adapt even more. Spend you time wisely during the short winter days, or go the extra mile during summer!



As the game progresses, you will unlock extra features for each of the four seasons. Every season has its own set of features, so you'll have to rethink your strategy!




Every time you finish a playthrough, you gain experience that can be spent on upgrading your survival talents. Strategically choose your next move from 100+ upgrades.

You'll also receive new items to wield, granting you extra bonuses and stats. Create your perfect set of gear, tailored to your favorite strategy!




Defending your base can be done in different ways. Gather resources and create static defenses such as Turrets and Campfires, Cannons and Magic Crystals or even Snowman Cannons (what?!). You can also craft yourself a bow and join the fight yourself.
With every season having different features, you'll have to figure out the best plan for each playthough!




Everyone is competing to become the best. Are you capable of beating all your friends? Perhaps you even have a secret strategy that allows you to become Number 1 on the Global Leaderboards!
