GameCentral delves into the world of 1000xResist, a critically acclaimed indie game boasting an exceptional narrative and voice performances. Drawing comparisons to titles like 13 Sentinels and NieR:Automata, this post-apocalyptic adventure explores themes of cloning, survival, and humanity's resilience in the face of an alien pandemic.
1000xResist – Fixer knows what she’s talking about (Fellow Traveller) GameCentral catches up with an excellent indie game from earlier in the year, that may have the best script and voice-acting of 2024. Every year, at around this time, we try to make sure we catch up with any interesting games we may have missed at other times during the year – invariably indie titles that were not well publicised at launch, but which subsequently gained critical acclaim.
Christmas has crept up on us a bit this year, so we may have to conclude our catch-up in January – which is perhaps just as well given how slow the start to the year usually is (although perhaps not, depending on Nintendo’s Switch 2 reveal plans). We wanted to cover 1000xResist first though, because not only is it a great game, that we’d never heard of until a few weeks ago, but it’s very likely to make it into our Top 20 of the year. It is pretty obscure – it’s all-time peak on Steam is just 154 people – but it’s easily one of the best storytelling games of the last 12 months. This is the first game by developer Sunset Visitor, but the most obvious point of reference is Vanillaware’s 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Not in terms of any of the specifics – this is not a strategy game – but the sci-fi setting and storytelling tone does feel as if it’s cut from the same cloth, with some similarities to NieR:Automata as well (and probably a bunch of anime that we’re not aware of). 1000xResist takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has been all but wiped out by aliens, via a global pandemic. The allusions to Covid are clear from the start, although here the artificial virus has reduced the human race to a small group of women cloned from the Allmother – a rare human immune to the virus. You play as one of six clones given a specific leadership role, such as doctor, librarian, and enginee
