Soulmask

The durable head-on build. Civilization mask, a melee weapon like the spear, Physique-heavy stats. The safest first run and the strongest frontline for your tribe.

The rogue build. Conquest mask, back attacks and executes, pick targets apart before the camp wakes up. High skill, high reward against tribe Elites.

The ranged build. Rich mask, bow as your main, pull and kite. Strongest when a tribe frontline holds the line while you delete targets from range.

The colony build. Recruit, specialize, and automate a self-running base so tribesmen handle gathering and crafting while you explore. The accelerator every run wants.

The whole metal-age ladder on one page. The six bonfire tiers from Stone to Fine Steel, what each unlocks, and the two currencies that gate them.

Every region by tier: level range, climate band, signature ore, and what is trying to kill you. The map planner you open before a supply run.

The starting jungle tiers where the run begins: bone tools to bronze, Copper and Tin, the Flint, Claw and Fang tribes, and heat you can survive in light gear.

The Iron tier: wetlands with a poison hazard, plateau and prairie forests, larger mammals like Bear and Elephant, and a swing from cold to heat that forces real climate gear.

The Steel tier: radioactive wasteland, sandstorms, and searing volcanic heat, guarded by Wild Lions, Mutant Rats, Monitor Lizards, and the lost civilization's machines.

The Fine Steel endgame tier: snowstorms and deep freeze, Crystal and Meteorite ore, Mammoths and Snow Leopards, and the Central Core waiting in the coldest country on the map.

The Egyptian-themed desert DLC: a separate region too large to cross on foot, traversed by airship and gated by the god-bosses Sobek, Anubis, and Amun-Ra and their masks.

The mask is the progression spine: it carries your buffs and active ability, levels from the Awareness you earn, and lets you possess a tribesman directly.

Action combat with parry, dodge, and execute across nine weapon types, where proficiency mastery thresholds and ability points decide how hard you hit.

Recruited NPCs that gather, craft, and fight, blowing past the proficiency ceiling a solo player is stuck behind, which makes building a tribe the biggest single accelerator in the game.

Temperature is the headline survival axis, with each region sitting somewhere from Searing Heat to Deep Freeze, layered over food, water, stamina, and a respawn fire you must keep lit.

The base is a production engine, not just shelter, where crafting stations and tribesman-run chains turn raw materials into goods with far less manual input than most survival games.

Tech unlocks pass through two separate gates, Awareness Strength to make a recipe available and Technology Points from tablets to pay for it, sitting alongside two other progression tracks players keep confusing.

The Shifting Sands DLC's core traversal and mobile-base system, unlocked after the Shipbuilding Technique and a Sobek kill, that turns a fueled, armed, tribesman-crewed ship into a moving home.

The four Egyptian god bosses of the Shifting Sands DLC, each tied to a mask, plus how base-game world bosses fit the mask-power loop rather than a linear ladder.
