Last Oasis is "mix of Eve Online with For Honor/Mount & Blade"

We talked with Chris Thompson at GDC about the survival game, which often avoids what other survival games have done.

When we spoke to Last Oasis's game designer and producer Chris Thompson at GDC (Game Developer Conference) this year he described the game as a "survival game from developers who don't really like survival games," and after that description we just had to hear a little bit more about what it's bringing to the table.

"It's a pretty hectic game, it's pretty combat-oriented," he continued. "The key for our game are these walkers, they're really the highlight. That's what the game is about, but it's also a mix of Eve Online with For Honor or Mount & Blade combat. There's a lot of trading involved in this."

"It's definitely a survival MMO for sure. I would definitely say, for us, combat and maybe more importantly the loss of persistence that most survival games have are the two things that really we're trying to address."

The game is coming to Steam Early Access this spring, but does this sound like an interesting idea to you?
