Forest Reigns Deep Dive Video Outlines Hazards, Factions, and Multiple Approaches

by

Games with post-apocalyptic settings are seemingly a dime a dozen these days, but VG Entertainment’s Forest Reigns sets itself apart with its forest. Alive and dynamic, it reacts to your actions and can either be a hindrance or a valuable tool. In a new deep dive video, the developer outlines various ways to leverage the forest.

Working alongside the Citizens to rescue their scout leader from a bandit-like faction, the MQA. You can opt for the direct approach, accompanied by squad members. By shooting the forest’s roots, you can create cover. Shooting exploding blisters can force enemies out from cover, though you must be careful of blade grass. Another cool feature is a bush that reflects bullets, allowing you to slay enemies without exiting cover.

1. Go out at night with a silenced weapon and no backup, making your way to MQA’s base can be risky.

2. Find a plant that you can use as a springboard to scale the wall.

3. Use the plant-assisted jump to sneak past enemies silently.

4. If possible, open the gate so the wild boars outside can enter and cause disturbance within the base.

You might choose to investigate the surroundings and uncover items such as a gas mask that allows entrance into the poisonous pollen-filled subterranean passages. If you make it through, you’ll be able to access the MQA from its underground level.

Forest Reigns is coming to PC, though there’s no release date. Head here for our interview with the developer.
