About this game
Part city builder, part retro vehicle shooter. Tear down the ruins of the old world and use what you find to build a settlement. Rescue survivors from the wastes. Defend your people against waves of attacks from the rogue AI that ruined the old world. Procedural levels and random build order make every run unique.
Carve your way through the post-post-apocalyptic sprawl to find valuable resources and rescue settlers.
Every building you construct and how you position it affects your settlement's chance of survival.
The dark remnants of humanity’s past are not friendly.
Work together with your community to restore each wasteland to its natural glory.
A small, focused experience made by two pals, not a global mega studio. We'd love to hear what you think in the Steam Discussions or on our Discord. We actually listen and roll that feedback into updates.

Mini Missions Update
Hey Reclaimators, we're excited to share our second MAJOR update with you. We've added a completely new way to play Existential Treads, called Mini Missions.These are a set of 9 challenges which each shake up the way the base game works. We've had a blast inventing and playing these over the past few months and can't wait for you to play them. There's 4 new achivements to complement the new Mini Missions.During Mini Missions, Daily Island and Skirmishes, you'll also see new Settler speech that we've added to the game. Finally, by popular demand, we've added an option to only reset main campaign, so you can replay it without resetting your Daily stats or Mini Missions progress.Big thanks for supporting us, it's been so rewarding for us to see people enjoying Existential Treads. - Ash & AdamRead full article on Community Announcements (demontjie)Patch NotesOfficial
