Fallout meets The Last Of Us in gorgeous new RPG you can try free

Rooted is the perfect blend of Fallout and The Last Of Us - and you can try it for free.

Fans of The Last of Us and Fallout should keep their eyes on one upcoming release that combines the two titles to create an epic open-world survival horror game.

Set to arrive some time in the future, Rooted is an upcoming open-world survival horror game which combines salvaging, building, crafting and hunting in order to help you survive. Whether you play alone or with friends, you will “explore an ancient overgrown world of dangers” in a fascinating post-apocalyptic setting.

Check out our The Last of Us Part II Remastered review below!

With a post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of that found in The Last of Us franchise and the importance of exploration like that found in the Fallout series, Rooted is guaranteed to be a hit for survival fans.

Set during the year 2100, you are one of a few survivors in a world where civilisation has collapsed as a result of global bacteriological warfare. Now that nature has made some areas somewhat safe, you are free to explore and navigate, as long as you keep protected from the remnants of bacterial weapons.

Improve your camp, collect scraps, restore and build items and be prepared to watch your surroundings at all times as you go it alone or team up with friends. Additionally, if one friend gets on your nerves, friendly fire is always an option!

As time goes on, you will be able to extend your camp, as well as provide electricity, automating tasks and improving defences. Not only that but you will be able to take over whole settlements and create a thriving ecosystem. With a world created using Unreal Engine 5, you are guaranteed a realistic survival experience.

Rooted is available to add to your wishlist on Steam now. Additionally, you can sign up to become part of its alpha testing over on the official website to get a taste of the game for free before full release.
