Amidst the hustle-bustle of ongoing live multiplayer games, it’s always refreshing to keep an eye out for some engaging single-player shooters. And guess what? Today, VG Entertainment, led by none other than Ruslan Didenko – a veteran developer from Stalker: Call of Pripyat, has unveiled their latest FPS project!
Forest Reigns” presents an ’emerging’ First-Person Shooter game, nestled in a post-apocalyptic version of Paris, not devastated by war or radiation, but overrun by vegetation. The City of Light has been reclaimed by nature, with ivy entwining lampposts, flora scaling building facades, turf carpeting the asphalt, and a colossal, twisted tree trunk enveloping La Tour Eiffel. It appears Mother Nature is in a rather angry mood.
In the gameplay trailer acquired by IGN, you can spot scenes where the character, along with advanced weaponry and a couple of clever tactics, interacts with some unusual sentient plants. These plants are manipulated to become allies instead of enemies during brief skirmishes against adversarial agents. The player uses these invasive greenery to gain an edge in combat.
Firing a bullet into a large, spherical growth makes it swell, providing protection for the player to take cover while firing back. Luminous, orange orbs grow from the base of the tree, if shot, they detonate, scorching your adversaries. Shooting another variety of plant causes it to retaliate by launching spores, which seems to be the only method to wound some of the heavily fortified pigs patrolling the streets of Paris. Additionally, we witness explosive fruits being thrown like grenades, vines entangling enemy soldiers, and other unusual vegetation-related shenanigans.
“It isn’t just part of the environment—it’s a conscious entity with its own desires and intentions. Interact with it to reveal its mysteries, use it for defeating enemies, or face its wrath as it reacts to your choices,” says the Steam page. “Resources are scarce, and danger is constant. Craft, scavenge, and plan ahead. Adapt to this green new world or become natural selection’s next victim.”
The visual aesthetic seems quite surreal, reminiscent of a blend between Atomic Heart and Stalker. The depiction of the city devastated by nature is impressively imagined, ranging from the Eiffel Tower to the Arc de Triomphe, along with other notable French landmarks whose names I might not recognize. No specific release date has been announced for Forest Reigns yet, but you can visit its official website for more information.
