The Wandering Village, a village management + survival simulation game that builds a village on the back of a wandering giant monster and survives, has maintained the top spot in the world’s best-selling products on Steam right after the release of Early Access on the 15th. On the day of the 15th, it climbed to 3rd place, and even among the crowds, it ranked in the top 6 even with the highly anticipated Modern Warfare 2, Cyberpunk 2077 with the expansion pack announced, and Sony 3 (God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone) with a TGS discount. are guarding
Wondering Village is a game depicting people who survive by building a village on top of a giant monster ‘Onbu’ that keeps moving away from spores in a world destroyed by poisonous spores spread by unknown plants. As a leader of the people, the player must rebuild the village and continue the life of mankind.
It has a similar vibe to Frost Punk in that it has to lead people in extreme situations, but it creates a brighter atmosphere, such as exploring an area where toxic spores have not yet spread to gather resources, build facilities, and farm. However, people die without food, and if the monster’s condition is mismanaged, the monster stops moving or dies, making it impossible for the residents to avoid spores.
As of the 19th, Wondering Village’s Steam user rating is ‘very positive’. Out of a total of 857 reviews, 89% had a positive response. The fact that the Korean interface and subtitles are officially supported also acted as a favorable factor for domestic users. Users who have played the game gave favorable reviews for the gameplay, unique graphics, and emotional elements, but also pointed out the shortcomings of the lack of elements that can be played for a long time in the early access stage.
On the other hand, in the statistics of the highest number of concurrent users on Steam, Cyberpunk 2077 ranked quite high after a long time. It ranked 12th with 85,555 concurrent users, which is the highest number since January last year, when the launch effect continued. With the recent announcement of the expansion pack Phantom Liberty, the Netflix animation Cyberpunk: Edge Runner was released, and the interest in the game was rekindled as related updates were carried out. The return of users who were disappointed with the low level of completion of Cyberpunk 2077 in the past, as well as new users who entered the game at the 50% discount, appeared to be crowded with games that had about 10,000 concurrent users in early September.
