The Ages is a production on the borderline of strategy and adventure games. The title was developed by the Polish team of 11 bit studios, and among its creators are the developers with the best-selling This War of Mine in their portfolio.

Story of the game
The Alters takes us to a science fiction universe. The main character of the game is Jan Dolski – a simple worker who is the only member of the crew to survive the emergency landing of a spaceship on an alien planet.
As if that were not enough, the planet he landed on is not one of the most hospitable, and things get even more complicated when, as a result of its circular and rotational motion, the radiation on its surface reaches a critical state.
Surviving in a hostile environment
In order to survive, the protagonist needs helpers, so he decides to use the local raw material called Rapidium to create alternative versions of himself – the title changes.
Although the protagonist now has an extra pair of hands to work with, he must begin to take care not only of himself, but also of the individual Alters, each of which has its own past, personality, and individual set of skills.
Our actions and choices will determine the fate of Dolski and his alters.
Gameplay of The Alters
The gameplay in The Alters is based on two pillars. The first is a stay in a mobile base that we observe from the side, like in This War of Mine or Fallout Shelter. While there, John must perform his duties, and most of the time he needs the help of his clones. We create alternate versions of the protagonist in a powerful organic sphere called The Womb.
In creating alternate versions of John, we make choices that not only shape their past (until they land on the planet), but also project their personality, skills, and advantages and potential disadvantages. The key to success is to create alters that meet our current needs or effectively fill the “personnel” gaps.
Different aspects of the game
But that’s not all: while staying in this huge command center, John will have to take care of the relationships with his alters (who will also interact with each other, e.g. by getting into fights), as well as gradually expand the structure by adding more modules – from the kitchen to the bedrooms to the laboratory and other useful rooms. For the latter, however, we need raw materials – this is where the second pillar of fun comes into play.
The Alters allows us to explore the surface of an inhospitable planet. Viewed from a third-person perspective (TPP), we traverse atmospheric locations and collect valuable resources. At the same time, it is worth remembering that access to some places is limited by, among other things, high radiation, so to replenish supplies we often have to work hard and face unexpected challenges.
Technical issues
The Alters runs on Unreal Engine 5 technology and makes good use of it. We like the models and character animations as well as the design of the locations, especially the interior of our base.
