Before We Leave

Before We Leave is a strategy game in which we try to rebuild a destroyed civilization. The production was developed by an independent team Balancing Monkey Games.

Story

Before We Leave takes us to a planetary system ravaged by a cosmic cataclysm. Its inhabitants were forced to hide under the surface, but after years spent underground they started to come out to face the problems waiting for them and try to regain their old life.

Mechanics

In Before We Leave we observe the action from a bird's eye view. During the game, which takes place on relatively small planets covered with a grid of hexagons, we deal with the construction of increasingly advanced structures, cultivation of land and obtaining raw materials. Moreover, an important role is played by conducting research on new technologies and recovering civilization achievements from the past era. Thanks to them we gain the ability to establish colonies on other planets, as well as the ability to transport raw materials between planets. We also face problems from time to time, as the cosmic catastrophe that pushed our civilization to the brink of extinction in the past can still have an impact, and giant whales that eat entire planets pose a threat to our people.

Technical issues

Before We Leave features colorful graphics maintained in an eye-pleasing "low poly" style (based on clearly visible polygons).
