Today’s Spotlight is Cliff Empire, a city building game by Lion’s Shade that recently left Early Access.
The Earth’s surface has been decimated by a nuclear war, leaving a 300 meter thick radioactive fog across the planet. Humanity’s last hope for survival is to build massive metropolises high in the mountains, above all the toxic fog and radioactive waste.
Research new technologies, build multiple cities across the globe, and connect them together with intricate trade networks. You’ll also need to deal with the lasting climate and weather affects of the war, and how they can harm your cities and their populace. You can check out the launch trailer above.
Cliff Empire is available on Windows PC via Steam for $11.99.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
Message for survivors on the Earth’s orbit!
