Buy Badiya: Desert Survival PC key

Badiya: Desert Survival is set in a procedurally generated desert as industrialization dawns. Its harsh climate and dangerous wildlife share the landscape with Bedouin communities, ancient sites and rare resources, while the rising industrial power of World War I brings conflict, including confrontations between horses and tanks. Terrain, events, enemy encounters and loot differ each time you play.

Survive the desert

A full 24-hour day-and-night cycle lets you sleep to pass time and regain stamina. Weather ranges from clear, cloudy and overcast skies to rain, snow, sandstorms and fog, with varying intensities for rain and snow. Monitor your health, food, thirst and temperature: poor temperature management can cause hypothermia or hyperthermia. Your diet also affects your character’s weight, with visible changes as they gain or lose weight.

You can customize your character’s ethnicity, skin tone, eye color, facial shape, facial hair, height and weight. Dress them in Arabic and western clothing, with options for headwear, upper and lower body, footwear and accessories that can be mixed and matched.

Gather and build

Collect plants for medical potions that treat poisoning, pain and stamina, mine rocks for iron, gold, copper and other precious metals, and chop trees for wood, fruit and plant fiber. Loot and gather resources to craft weapons, medicine and tools. You can also hunt rabbits, deer, oryx and other prey, then skin them for meat, hide, fur, fat and bones.

Build a camp with a fire for cooking and warmth, a smelting station to process minerals, a crafting bench for advanced items and a tent where you can sleep to restore health and stamina. A cooking station lets you prepare over 20 Middle Eastern cuisines and soups, as well as plain meat.

Explore and trade

Discover oases, Bedouin camps, villages, military bases, airfields, oil wells, ancient ruins, caravans, wheat fields, palm farms and other locations. A map with fog of war reveals only the areas you have explored. An optional compass points toward nearby points of interest, and caravans can offer merchants, quest givers and paid fast travel to previously discovered locations.

Trade with merchants in Bedouin camps and villages, and take quests from locals. Tasks include gathering or transporting items, securing bandit and mercenary locations, and finding treasures. You can also seek riches in ancient ruins guarded by bandits, or use a falcon, scope or binoculars to scout and tag enemies and resources. Tombs and cave networks contain traps, loot, treasures and dangers to explore with a torch or lantern.

Face enemies

The desert’s wildlife includes wolves, leopards, hyenas, lynx and stray greyhounds. Against bandits and mercenaries, you can attack openly or use stealth to pass undetected, knock enemies unconscious and drag their bodies out of sight. Your weapons include sidearms, rifles and machine guns; flamethrowers and sniper rifles are described as future additions.

Travel by land and sea

Ride horses and camels, or use military vehicles such as armored cars, tanks, planes and dune buggies. Vehicle customization includes tire armor, weapon choices, desert camouflage paint and side lights. You can also build a ship to explore islands for treasure, fish or dive for pearls.

A reactive world

Wooden and clay objects can break and shatter according to the force of an impact, and broken pieces can be destroyed further. Ground-level plants bend when you move through them, while water reacts to your movement with ripples and waves. Metal bends when shot or struck by heavier objects, and the soundtrack changes its mood and intensity to match what you are doing.

Dynamic fire spreading across flammable cloth and wood, and cloth that reacts to wind and passing objects or characters, are described as future additions.
