Castaways has been in development for three years by Monocool Interactive and is a first person survival game like no other! We have done our best to make Castaways completely different to any other survival game you have ever played or heard of, whether it be single player, co-op or online multiplayer.
Castaways will change how survival games are played by giving you, the player, the power to create your very own survival game. Choose your environment, choose your enemies. choose your objectives. Some people might be brave enough to put their survival skills to the test by playing it solo. Others might prefer to pick their team and play with friends or just wait for a team to find them and make friends. With Castaways, you play exactly what you want, when you want, how you want.
* Character Backstories – Every time you play a game of Castaways you must pick the Backstory of your character. For every game you complete, you will receive experience for the current Backstory, which in turn will allow you to improve certain aspects of this Backstory for future games. Each backstory has a range of benefits. Whether it be harvesting wood, catching fish or killing enemies. Each backstory will find certain aspects of being a Castaway easier than others.
* Survivor Rating – As you play you will level up and get points which you can put into a general tree that affects you as a survivor differently to your backstory. As you improve your survivor rating you will find that you will be far more adept at surviving the situations you choose to put yourself in. Your survivor rating will improve your character regardless of which Backstory you choose to play with.
* Team Combinations – We’ve developed a system that allows over 1500 unique team compositions. When playing with others, each player can choose the same or different backstory for their characters. Picking a variety of backstories will give your team a relatively balanced advantage when playing. If all players choose the same backstory, you will gain access to incredible bonus skills and buffs which are only available by matching multiple of the same backstory. The more you match, the better the bonuses become, but reduces the versatility you might have as a team.
* Base Planning and Building – Castaways gives you the tools to design, build and manage your camps as you please. Once you decide on where you want your buildings placed, your whole team can help out by constructing the building from the ground up. Certain backstories will allow the building of different and better structures. Other backstories will give perks to the actual building, planning and maintenance of your camps and its buildings. Once you’ve chosen what you want to build, it then comes down to your team to work together to manually build that building.
* Personal and Team Inventory – Castaways has two types of inventory, personal and team. When exploring, it’s highly likely that you will find items to pick up and use. But what about when you return to camp and you don’t really need these items? They can be refined and deposited into a Storage Hut which not only improves how much they are worth, but gives the rest of your team access. These resources can then be used to improve your camp or build any items you or your team might need. There are far more benefits to working as a team as to not.
* Make the Rules – Play the game you want to play – you are in control of everything. Pick how long your game lasts. Set rules for how decisions are made for building and creating. Even go as far as how long each day and night lasts. Castaways is about you creating your own adventure. The more difficult the adventure, the more experience you and your team will be awarded if you survive.
* Player vs Player – We are currently experimenting with a competitive player vs player mode with a variety of games. Each game mode is designed to test the teams in different areas of Castaways, whether it be wiping the other team off the island and taking it for yourself, defending until help arrives or preparing yourselves for an assault on a well established teams base.
