What’s more, the snarling of wildlife, the bang of guns, and the crashing of building works add to the realism. You’ll explore while listening to daunting tunes and this makes it extremely uncomfortable. I loved the heavy nature of the music and the blend of loud and obnoxious sound effects. Consequently, the action has a distinct cold war feeling that is chilling and uncomfortable. Furthermore, I adored the 1950s American feel. I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of the colourful and vivid graphics. Alongside this, you can visit many areas that have a unique appearance. Most of the gameplay focuses on your suburban house and the subterranean level. The action unfolds using a side-scrolling perspective. Mr Prepper has a striking but simple style. If the developers had balanced their approach, Mr Prepper would have been exponentially better. Subsequently, I couldn’t stomach playing it for long periods and I was often left frustrated. It was such a shame, as it has the right ingredients to be exceptional. Instead of being fun, interesting, and a tactical challenge, it becomes monotonous very quickly. This ruins the brilliance of the building aspect while making the gameplay repetitive. Annoyingly, every task drains your life force and you spend more time worrying about eating than building your bunker. Therefore, this impacts his preparedness and slows the action to a crawl.
Well, think again! The hero is either permanently hungry or always tired. With only 3 elements to monitor energy, preparedness, and food. The aforementioned grind is negatively impacted by the awful and unbalanced stat system. Survival games are renowned for their heavy reliance on stats. Consequently, this is essential during the latter game as you try to build your spaceship. Moreover, the better your friendship, the more exotic the items on offer. This will cost you money, but it also builds up a reputation that enhances your network of traders. Furthermore, you can trade with your neighbours for anything essential. Now, resources aren’t too troublesome to find as you can go on expeditions to gather food, wood, metal, and more. Whether it’s the resources you don’t have, or a lack of energy, food, or preparedness, it’ll hold you back. Every task requires a hefty layer of micromanagement, and this slows everything down.
This is where the grind element comes into play. None of this is too challenging, but it requires time and materials. Here, you must grow food, build equipment, house illegal goods, and make your rocket. Again, this is a pretty tough ask as your atypical suburban house sits on top of your top-secret underground bunker. If this happens, it’s game over, so make sure to cover your tracks. If you fail to cover your plans or hide objects, their suspicions will be raised and you’ll potentially get arrested. They’ll drop by your house and you must rush around removing and covering illicit activities. This may not seem like a big deal, but it allows the officials to snoop on you freely. Since your release from jail, you are now on probation. But, maybe space is better than the risk of nuclear war? Grind, lots and lots of grind. Yep, you read that right, a giant rocket! Now, where this will take you is anybody’s guess. However, this is easier said than done when the end goal is to create a giant rocket. Subsequently, all your illegal activities must be hidden and completed without raising suspicions. Effectively, it’s a massive game of cat and mouse with Mr Prepper, as the cheese-eating vermin. With the help of his strange neighbours, he must break the law, search for prohibited items, and plan to escape. This, alongside the many dystopian rules, makes Mr Prepper search for a brighter future. Here he is under the watchful eye of the government’s law enforcement agency. Fresh from a stint at her majesty’s pleasure, the titular hero returns home. Set in a world under the threat of nuclear war, you must tread carefully.
