Imagine it. Home is far, far away. Even in the age of space travel, things don’t always go to plan. This is where Nova Lands begins as you make planetfall on an unknown celestial body, having to temporarily call it home. It’s a good job then, that the environment is resource rich which provides an

The old nuclear war scenario has been used a fair bit in terms of being narrative fodder over the years. The arcades of the 1980’s played with Missile Command saving humankind from nuclear missions with a rollerball. Then of course there are the Fallout games which deal with the aftermath of a nuclear strike. Dead

Lately, with the new generations, that DLC hasn’t had the same attention, except perhaps the numerous free games
