Games where you build a base and defend it

Using your survival skills, you can save yourself from this ocean disaster and survive everything the sea throws at you. You can play Raft on PC. If you've always wanted to live in a Viking house, then look no further than Valheim. This game is perfect for warriors; you can adventure throughout the land as a Viking, and base-building is one of the core mechanics of your adventure. It's harder to build a base in Valheim than in most games; however, once you get the hang of it, you'll be building longhouses like it's your specialty.

This is similar to the other mechanics in Valheim as well, it's a challenging game, but you can master it fairly quickly.

Valheim is available on PC. State Of Decay 2 is a game where you're constantly trying to survive, and base-building, or as it's called in this game, facility-building, is a core component for gathering materials and surviving the threats of the outside world. You can use facilities to create a source for essential resources. However, you can also use them to allow your survivors to stay safe from threats and recover while injured. Building in State Of Decay 2 will take some effort, especially clearing out enemies near the area, but it's worth it to have a customizable, safe house where you can rest from your post-apocalyptic adventures.

Subnautica is a very unique game because the majority of the experience takes place underwater. In this survival game, you can build underwater habitats.

There are many benefits to building a seabase. A few of these benefits include growing food, storing your items, and returning to your base when you're out of oxygen. In Subnautica, you have access to different building modules that you can place down while underwater or on land to create your structure.

Base-building in Subnautica is particularly fun because of all of the different mechanics that have a place within your structure, such as oxygen and storage. Terraria is a 2-D base-building game where you can explore a vast world with many different biomes and places to discover. There are tons of different types of structures that you can build in Terraria, and it has the added benefit of being a 2D video game which makes it distinct from the other base-building video games in the genre.

Outside of base-building, in Terraria, you can fight bosses, collect new equipment, and recruit NPCs to your structures. Fallout 4 is a post-apocalyptic RPG, and although its main purpose is exploring the scary yet beautiful open-world and completing quests, there is a lot of room in the game for building your own settlements.

These settlements can give you items such as money and food to help you during your Wasteland adventure. The base-building in Fallout 4 is quite expansive.

The game provides dozens of different settlements to build at with lots of customization both in terms of your settlers and how you want to build the structures. If you enjoy space-themed media, then you are in for a fun adventure with No Man's Sky. This game takes you on a flight through the stars and gives you the chance to explore randomly generated planets that are all unique from each other.

Player versus Player May 27, By TheLoneWoIf. Awesome game! I enjoy it a lot however the down side is that it gets boring fast. Night after night of just fighting zombies gets dull. Please bring us some PvP!! Game will explode with popularity and more people will come.

Please developers, please!! Fun May 25, By 9Grindz. Keeps you busy May 13, By m0j0bean. Plenty to do, you can play free all day. A few ads here and there but not so many to chase you away. Very addicting. See all positive reviews. Few Days ok, then Fail May 2, By TheRealSeabass. Started the game and the 1st few days were ok. Typical base builder set up balance resources and time. This is a flaw in programming to get stuck like this.

Deleting, enjoy the 2. Was good until the 2. By sum random guy 4. Its ok Nov 5, By Miyeep. So if your wanting a game that you can sit and play and tinker with for several hours or even just one hour. You dont want this game. Its a great concept, at least its not pvp.

No you dont have to use real money to play it as long as you have a lot of patience. Some actions take a few minutes, but most you have to wait 1 to 3 hours, to clear a section of trees it takes a just over a day to complete a task. If a survivor gets injured during game play it takes 5 days or gems to get them back. If you have a lot of real money in your pocket to spend it would really be a great game. But you really go through them fast. It cost anywhere from 60 gems to gems to complete a single action!

Last update was 5 months ago Sep 1, By Patchc I recently started playing this game about 7 days ago from writing this review. Today it has completely crashed. It has a difficult time connecting to the server and once it is connect it constantly disconnects making the game unplayable.

By Toddy Rah. I tried to get into this game and it potentially seems like fun but every four minutes, the game crashes and I have to restart. Please get that bug fixed before ppl decide to give up on it altogether. See all negative reviews. No reviews available See All Community Reviews. No reviews available See All Expert Reviews. Was Confused and Angry Now Happy!!

Sep 19, By 1stFSSG. Thanks for resolving and fixing the issues with this game. Please keep up the good work. Definitely worth playing Oct 16, By WyrmeStar. It really deserves 4. Gameplay is fun. The monsters sometimes get stuck on walls. But none of the bugs are game breakers. The explanations for some buildings are unclear - What do the Lanterns actually do? Fun game to pass the time Dec 17, By GodSpeedKen. Innovative Dec 21, By Philipag.

Highly original and fun with a great deal of depth. Wish we could do more with inactive characters such as passive roles and not just have them wait around for a primary to die. Some connectivity issues need to be addressed. Pretty enjoyable Jan 20, By darkhunterr Just one small thing that I think the game needs. A option where you can have a blueprint of your base so you know how to make it, also you can only use the buildings you have. See all 5 reviews. No reviews available See all 4 reviews.

A factory-based sandbox tower defense game. Dec 23, By Michael Erickson. This is one of the best computer games I have played in 40 years of playing. It is strategy or real time, whichever you like, single or multiplayer, and you can spam or strategize, as you wish. Play it as you want, or use it's built in programming language to have the game play itself.

It is fast, stable, and lightweight. Playing it on a Chromebook is highly recommended, as there are some very small graphics. Great Game Nov 12, By CaydenPlays. What do you get for a single buck? Hours upon hours of gameplay! The game starts off fairly complicated, but once you begin to understand it, it becomes one of the deepest and satisying games you can find on mobile. If you like sandbox games, get Mindustry.

If you like tower defense, get Mindustry. If you like army building games, get Mindustry. Arguably the best game on mobile for those looking for a complex game. Praise Anuke! Like Factorio for Mobile May 19, By randomblock1. This game is a lot like Factorio, with the base-building, resource gaining, production, etc. The main difference is that this is faster-paced since it revolves around combat, where Factorio revolves around expanding production.

I think there should be a way to upgrade those because at extremely high waves for example they get instantly decimated. However, the game itself is very fun and addicting, and it has mod support, so that shield issue can probably be easily fixed by downloading a mod. Super good but a few things to add May 29, By Oofermanstan.

PC Quality Game on Mobile. Apr 15, By Ozzy Frugal. I originally bought this game for the steam version and loved it. Mindustry was quite addicting forcing me to play it for hours on end wanting to upgrade my base, or find anyway to tweak my system to make it more efficient. But then I found it on mobile. I knew I had to give it a try. This game on mobile is literally the same wonderful game as the one on PC! Just little changed controls for mobile. Even the hud of the game is the same as the PC version!

A hours Gigachad T-Rex of a game for 99 cents! Jun 3, By fruitsdemers. The space and resource constraints also keeps the levels fresh. Unit building is also a welcome addition to the genre. Love the game! Really fun and addictive Feb 6, By TheBlingKing Also the new music for the game brings a nostalgia like tone, I like it.

Keep up the good work. Adding some productivity to my wasted time May 24, By TheTylerSherman. Pretty exceptional game honestly It gives you time to learn the mechanics of various equipment and develop your tech tree. Seems like a great mobile offering for those who like games like Factorio By schaffer Mindustry is a really well thought out game, Anuke did an amazing job creating this.

What an amazing idea, I love the concept of a sandbox tower defense game. One very small thing is that I wish it was easier to place conveyors and other blocks. I mean like you should be able to hold down and make a large conveyor with many twists and turns without lifting your finger. At the moment, making a large conveyor is very time consuming. Dec 8, By Mylah Dee. Mindustry is a game I can play for a very long time definitely recommend to anyone who is into tower defense games.

If you like factorio try this! I really enjoy the game it takes skill but you can also have fun if you are unskilled. Dec 16, By Chaotic Bread. It's a fun and interesting game, and I appreciate that it's ftp, but you can't make progress without completing certain levels, and it's impossible to complete said levels without equipment you might get from completing said levels.

Ruinous shores comes to mind in particular, where you get no time to recover or rebuild between waves. I can't make it past wave twelve because I don't have the chance to tend to or build defenses. I would appreciate it if this issue was solved so I could progress. Jan 7, By odis odin. It's a good game but the night time period is so dark that I literally just can't see during the day. Yea something about the function of lights in the game, but I'm not illuminating the whole map just so I can better plan out what I should do.

It's problematic that I cannot turn this off. Dec 20, By Chris Groat. Devs deleted my last review so I figured I'd try it again. Still not a great game. Wave spawns are way too fast, once you get to wave 20 it will not give you time to rebuild. Not enough materials for the weapons on those maps either. You spend over an hour to get there and the enemy destroys everything. Even when you are on another map they will come and destroy your hard work on the previous maps. Even on a video game who enjoys having their work destroyed when they thought they finished it?

Nov 21, You should take a look at RimWorld, it's a very complete base bluider and is on steam. PvZ and PvZ 2 sounds good for that. Both have an endless mode where you keep fighting wave after wave of zombies, while collecting sun to get more plants and stuff. How about rust? Per page: 15 30 Date Posted: 3 Dec, pm.
