In the frozen wasteland of Whiteout Survival, you’re in charge of building and upgrading your burgeoning city. While food, shelter and medicine are all important resources, keeping the giant furnace burning at the centre of the settlement will be your top priority.

What we love: Combining strategy simulation with automated battles in the middle of a never-ending snowstorm. Collecting resources and upgrading your shelter will have a snowball effect. Attracting more settlers means you’ll need more of everything else, including food supplies and fuel for the fire.

Quick tip: Remember to level up your heroes and get them ready for combat in Exploration mode. The resources you obtain from the battles can help to fortify the settlement.
