The labyrinths are a lot bigger and more fun to do. The vaults aren’t fun as most of them are just 3 rooms and are simple enough to pass as long as you have a weapon. You can also come across vaults and labyrinths that can yield better loot for an easier time with your survival. If you also fight enemies in that time, and the monkey has a weapon you may have given to them, they will fight with you. To get them to be your friend you either have to give them a certain item such as monkey food, or save them from being trapped in a cage. The monkeys can be customized as well, giving them each a different colour and you even change their name! It’s nice to have a fun rainbow team of monkey’s rather than the default colour. For example, if you give them an axe and then you also use an axe to chop a tree the monkey will start chopping trees around you until the axe’s durability runs out and it breaks. So, if you go into monkey mode you can tell them to follow you, or you can tell them to watch something you do and they will then copy it. The main way to build the items is getting the Monkeys to be your friend! You can have them do pretty much anything you can do.
#THE ESCAPISTS CRAFTING RECIPES XBOX ONE FULL#
For example, if you want to create a full raft first you will need to craft a few items in order to use them to create the raft. You had to build different items to in turn get further items. I really liked this concept at first, it gave the crafting a unique spin in that it had a sense of progression to it instead of just having to learn or find new recipes in the world. You also have another crafting tree that allows you to craft things like a raft and other larger items.

I understand that survival is the name of the game but just not enjoyable enough. You also have to craft food, though I find this mechanic to be super frustrating, I feel like it could have been implemented in a better way. The more you craft the more of the tree you unlock. You also have the ability to customize your character to how you want them to look.Īt the start of your survival adventure you only have a couple of items that you can craft, each set up in an easy to use crafting tree. A tutorial walks you through the basics of crafting and picking up materials, etc. You start off stranded on an island with pretty much no materials.

When The Survivalists was announced it instantly became one of a few games I couldn’t wait to play, and I was excited to see if it could live up to The Escapists in terms of fun. I am a HUGE Escapists fan I loved everything about it and had so much fun.
