It might start off as simple as a single cell, an office and a warden, a power plant and some other facilities, but like most simulations of this kind you will eventually have a bustling infrastructure with a thousand things going on that you have to manage, with hiccups such as fires and riots along the way to keep you on your toes. The basic game flow is simple enough: you build a prison.
HELL ARCHITECT REVIEW SERIES
Prison Architect starts off in a fairly innocuous way, with a series of playable tutorial levels focusing the player on a single overarching task broken down into micro tasks and meticulously laid out to slowly introduce the player to new concepts along the way. Prison Architect (Switch PS4, Xbox One, PC)ĭeveloper: Introversion Software/Double Eleven Limited
After hanging around on PC, it has made its way to the Nintendo Switch, making it (for now… Rimworld, anyone?) the only notable title like it on the console. Prison Architect is one such game, and while it chooses to ditch the mind boggling scope of Dwarf Fortress and focus the player on a singular task, it is not any worse off or lacking in depth because of this. I never mastered Dwarf Fortress, but it stoked the fires of my interest in the simulation genre and as the years have gone by there have been plenty of interesting clones of the game. A shame considering it is one of the most unique and wonderful games around. Aside the fact that the game is comprised entirely of ASCII characters, it is difficult enough to parse that it has its own sizeable text box. An infamous game known for an incredible depth of complexity and one of the worst user interfaces ever built. Of course Dwarf Fortress is not a programming language, but a game. I also have one oddity published by O’Reily called Getting Started With Dwarf Fortress.
I have a shelf packed with programming textbooks, stories about the industry, and a library of eBooks on various languages I learn and work with. Guest appearances: Play as Legendary Characters, a motley crew of history’s most despicable sinners who drop into your domain, each possessing special abilities to help build your devilish masterpiece.I like computer books. Hell never looked so good: The stylish 2D art style perfectly blends with the brutal, gorey themes and is topped off with outstanding dark humour. A constant stream of new lost souls will provide more hands to use, but will require managing to keep them working.Ĭrack the whip: Treat the sinners sent to your humble abode to different fun (or not so fun) sources of suffering, be it punishing them for disobedience or just for fun. Management is key: Harvesting resources, building an infrastructure and expanding your Hell will be key in your success.
If you build it, they will suffer!: Begin with basic buildings like power stations (yup they need those in Hell too!) and canteens for your hungry workers and expand your empire to include shrines and intricate torture contraptions to increase the level of suffering for your weary residents. With a host of hell themed building and crafting options at your disposal you will be able to research and construct evermore intricate rooms and put your sinners to work harvesting materials to construct your torture devices! Expect dark humour and gory themes aplenty! Let your imagination run wild and craft the hell of your dreams (or nightmares!) and don’t forget to impress the big boss, Lucifer himself.Ĭreate the Hell of your dreams: Flex your creative muscles to design, build and furnish 9 infamous levels of Hell in the single player campaign mode, or spend a hellish eternity designing your own chaotic masterpiece from scratch in sandbox mode. Dropping you into the role of an architect of hell, you will be tasked with creating and building ever more inventive ways of managing (and torturing) the sinners who arrive there. Hell Architect takes the classic survival-sim genre and adds a devilishly new twist to the gameplay.
