Earth: Revival stirs a lot of different ingredients together: there are some systems from survival games, Iron Man flight controls, MMO raiding and housing mechanics, an cannon-toting shiba inu, and some slick shooting. It’s a storecupboard cleanout kind of meal, and that comes with good and not-so-good connotations.
So let’s start with the good. I spend the majority of my hands-on session completing a dungeon, battling back seemingly endless waves of mutant insectoids while dashing between objective nodes, all en route to a boss fight against the hive’s queen. It’s a brilliant showcase of Earth: Revival’s stylish, fast-paced combat.
