In a world simply overflowing with live-service multiplayer chaos, and where every game seems designed to devour your wallet and spare time, a solid single-player shooter feels like finding a rare loot drop.
Enter Forest Reigns, a newly announced FPS from VG Entertainment, spearheaded by Ruslan Didenko, a veteran developer from Stalker: Call of Pripyat. Yes, the guy who made you terrified of irradiated dogs is now giving us his take on the city of love, Paris.
Imagine this: Paris, not torn apart by nukes or alien invasions but reclaimed by nature. Picture vines strangling lampposts, grass carpeting the Champs-Élysées, and the Eiffel Tower wrapped in a gnarly tree trunk.
That’s the setting for Forest Reigns. Mother Nature isn’t just back; she’s angry, and you’re caught in the middle, armed with just your wits and some fancy high-tech weaponry.
In the gameplay trailer, we get a taste of the chaos: vines that ensnare enemies, spores that incapacitate boar-like armoured foes, and exploding fruit that’s basically a natural-born grenade.
According to the Steam page, this isn’t just a shooter; it’s an emergent FPS where nature is more than just a static backdrop. It’s a living, breathing entity with feelings, and it’s up to you whether it becomes your ally or your leafy executioner.
Forest Reigns also promises a non-linear story packed with RPG elements and faction drama. Players can team up or tangle with various in-game groups, and your choices will shape how the story ends.
While there’s no word on when Forest Reigns will be released, we do have a trailer for the game that you can check out here:
