Smalland: Survive the Wilds is an open-world survival RPG developed by Merge Games, released in 2024 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Players take on the role of a Vanguard, a diminutive explorer venturing into an enormous wilderness where ordinary environments — puddles, road cracks, forest floors — become vast and treacherous landscapes. The world encompasses dense forests, hazardous swamps, and ruins from a forgotten era, populated by hostile insects and arachnids such as wasps, beetles, and cockroaches that treat the player as prey. Survival depends on scavenging and refining resources across multiple material tiers to construct encampments, either on the ground or high in the treetops. Players craft armor sets that confer distinct abilities, including winged suits for gliding and grappling hooks for traversal. Creatures like grasshoppers, damselflies, and spiders can be tamed as mounts. Shifting weather and seasons add further challenge. Cooperative multiplayer supports up to ten players simultaneously.
"There was a time when we lived freely under the Sun and Moon, before the time of the giants. This history has passed down from generation to generation so we can see them again, even if only in dreams. But now we are ready to return to the surface and you, vanguard, will lead the way..." Traverse lake sized puddles, scale skyscraper sized trees, battle or tame creatures, discover the dense dark forests and the strange metallic monoliths left over from before. Discover hidden resources and craft armor, weapons, and shelters and more. Collect customizable outfits and armor that not only provide you with resistances and abilities, but also allow you to personalize as you team up with friends in a co-op PVE environment. Most of the creatures you encounter will see you as lower on the food chain - Birds, Rats, Lizards, and Spiders will all see you as a tasty food source! Weather conditions and seasons are in constant flux - this not only affects your health but also dynamically changes the flora and fauna of the world. If you want to survive for another day preparation is key!
