## About Colony Survival

Colony Survival is a first-person voxel colony-building strategy game developed by Pipliz and released in 2017. Players manage workers who handle stations rather than a traditional crafting grid, recruit colonists to fill various roles, and construct production chains across an expanding kingdom. Outpost travel allows expansion across the world while defense towers must be strategically placed to protect against nightly monster hordes. Reviewers highlight that threat levels scale with player progress, and players describe the experience as relaxing and immersive as they balance creative building with survival defense. The game supports online cooperative play and runs on Steam Deck with verified compatibility. Colony Survival is priced at $24.95 USD and holds a 92 percent positive rating from over 5,800 Steam reviews.
