A unique take on the city builder genre. In Life Below instead of constructing cities we're building an underwater ecosystem. Our job is to restore the reef back to life with the help of various organisms. We must also protect the reef from outside threats.
Life Below is a game that gives us a unique perspective on the city builder genre. It does not allow us to build a city, but instead to create an underwater ecosystem from scratch. The game was developed by the independent Norwegian studio Megapop, which has titles such as Haxity and Trolls vs Vikings: Reborn in its portfolio, while its script is the work of Rhianna Pratchett. Moreover, wanting to ensure realism, the developers consulted with marine biologists.
In Life Below we play as an ocean guardian named Thalassa, whom Gaia has appointed to revive the coral reef and take care of it.
The underwater ecosystem resembles a city, the central point of which is the heart of the reef. It is based on various systems and governs by its own laws. Of course, it would be nothing without the creatures inhabiting it. If we want the piece of ocean floor given to us to pulse with life again, we need to create baits that attract various species of creatures, and then provide them with conditions that allow survival and development.
Every creature is equipped with unique features and abilities that are essential for the development of the reef, such as conducting energy through corals, generating resources through shells, or purifying water from pollutants by certain species of fish. In addition to this, we can observe the life of such animals as coral crabs, frogfish, or hammerhead sharks.
Taking care of the coral reef also involves facing a variety of challenges. We need to take care of the level of algae in the water and try to maintain its balanced pH, face temperature fluctuations or deal with invasions from water fleas. Furthermore, the threat to our ecosystem can also be the effects of human activity, such as oil spills or garbage patches, which we have to deal with using only the tools given to us by Mother Nature.
Life Below offers a campaign mode, in which we follow the fate of Thalassa, as well as a free mode, allowing for fun without looking at any restrictions.
