Endzone 2 is a post-apocalyptic citybuilder that follows an expeditionary team on a voyage into an irradiated wasteland. Lost in that desolate expanse are regions still fit for human life, and your goal is to find those or die on the voyage.

Endzone 2 Features Familiar Mechanics with A Faster Pace

Those who’ve played modern citybuilders will recognize the basic gameplay loop in Endzone 2. The player constructs buildings near resources, assigns people to harvest those resources, then assigns other people at other buildings to turn those resources into necessary goods. The process is a bit quicker than some similar games, which certainly helps with viewability.

Driving Cars to Get Around Adds Unique Twist

While most of the game sticks to the basic formula, there are a few areas where it deviates. In particular, mobility is more of an element than in most citybuilders.

The player has access to a vehicle used to scout out new habitable zones, which is used to start the first settlement on the map but might also be necessary if that settlement becomes unsuitable for any reason. Apart from that, though, there’s not a lot to really separate the game from similar citybuilders.

Compared to many indie games, Endzone 2 has relatively high system requirements. For most people, this won’t be too much of an issue. However, if you are a low-end gamer who focuses on indies or older games, it’s well worth doing a test run to make sure that there aren’t any problems running it.

Overall, Endzone 2 is a respectable citybuilder that just doesn’t quite break out from the pack.

Summary

Though it has a somewhat unique setting, Endzone 2 is ultimately a decent but standard city builder that doesn’t quite stand out.
