Rewilders is a sandbox simulation game that promotes building, creativity, and strategy. By simulating a real movement that is sweeping around the planet, the movement to rewild vast regions of the Earth, by restoring damaged ecosystems to health and re-introducing keystone species like wolves, orangutans, koalas, and tigers.
If Minecraft, Farmville, Tamagotchi, a science textbook, and an animal encyclopedia were thrown in a blender, you’d have something that looks and plays like Rewilders. The look of the game is highly stylized low-res (think a stylish Minecraft), conducive to the rapid creation of assets.
As a Rewilder, your job is to bio-engineer a new wilderness area to support the species of your choice. You, as the player, will terraform and engineer your animal habitats. You’ll nurture your species, bio-engineer ecosystems, managing the flow of resources to improve the environment and ensure that the animals you’ve been tasked to protect and care, thrive. You will have to deal with predators, farms, and humans who come and disrupt animal life. On the other hand, you have at your disposal, game wardens, and renewable monetary resources to terraform and build.
