DaRmaZat All Will Fall is a post-apocalyptic survival city-building game where gravity itself is your greatest enemy. In this physics-based tactical builder, players must construct a vertical settlement atop the ruins of a flooded world, navigating the constant threat of structural collapse. Developed by All Parts Connected and published by tinyBuild, the game launches sometime this year.
Build to Survive, but Beware of Collapse
Set in a world where rising tides have submerged most of the land, All Will Fall challenges you to create a sustainable colony on precarious remnants of civilization. Building is not just a matter of space management—it’s a balancing act. The game’s physics-based construction system means every structure must have adequate support or risk toppling over. You can build horizontally or vertically, but factors like gravity, structural integrity, and shifting tides keep you on edge.
Engineers design pathways, storage areas, and living spaces, while workers gather resources to enable further construction. Progress depends on careful coordination between these groups, as well as efficient planning to optimize resource collection and construction flow. The compact building areas often require creative problem-solving, like using supports, ladders, or bridges to connect distant ruins.
Resource Management Under Pressure
Survival depends on managing basic needs like food, water, and shelter while expanding your settlement. Resources are initially scattered around your starting location, but collecting them requires allocating workers and navigating limited space. The game features a robust tech tree that lets you pursue sustainable solutions, but every decision comes with trade-offs. Balancing short-term survival with long-term planning is essential for thriving in this harsh environment.
Factions and Morale
Your colony consists of three distinct groups—engineers, workers, and sailors—each with unique abilities and contributions. Engineers handle construction and research, workers focus on gathering and building, and sailors bring specialized skills. Keeping all factions satisfied is critical; happy citizens provide helpful boons, while unrest can destabilize your colony.
Similar to Frostpunk, All Will Fall introduces random events that challenge players with high-stakes decisions. These events might include approaching ships offering new workers, mysterious ruins emerging from the tides, or moral dilemmas like whether to help survivors or seize their supplies. Each decision carries consequences, impacting your resources, the stability of your settlement, and the morale of your people.
Difficult choices to make, with far-reaching consequences.
Every choice you make can either earn widespread approval or disapproval among the factions, emphasizing the weight of your decisions. These moments also add a narrative layer, allowing you to shape your colony’s story while testing your moral compass.
Preliminary Thoughts
All Will Fall is a game of constant balancing: expansion versus stability, resource gathering versus sustainability, and growth versus survival. It pushes players to think outside the box, making each construction choice matter. Whether you’re building bridges to explore distant ruins or managing limited supplies to keep your people alive, every decision feels weighty and impactful.
While the game’s visuals may not push the limits of realism, its focus on physics-driven mechanics delivers a uniquely satisfying experience. Watching your settlement grow into a towering, interconnected web is immensely rewarding—provided it doesn’t collapse. The atmospheric soundtrack complements the gameplay, adding a sense of calm to the otherwise high-pressure environment. With its innovative mechanics and challenging survival systems, the upcoming final version of All Will Fall might offer a fresh take on the city-building genre, promising countless hours of strategic problem-solving and colony management.
