Before We Leave Arrives On Nintendo Switch
Developer Balancing Monkey Games’ civilization-building title Before We Leave originally launched for PCs and has been a hit there. Now it’s blasting off to conquer new territory: handheld/console hybrids. The Nintendo Switch version of the game just launched today.
As far as games with post-apocalyptic premises go, Before We Leave is one of the sunnier depictions out there. Civilization has been wiped out thanks to a cosmic disaster, and it’s your job to rebuild it one step at a time. Build up towns, manage their resources evenly, and you might unearth ancient technology that can help your society leap forward. Once you cities are thriving, expand to other planets and build colonies there. But watch out for Space Whales! (You only think we’re kidding…)
- Expand the Horizons: From a lowly settlement to a sprawling civilization of Peeps, players will need to traverse mountains, forests, oceans, and the depths of space to explore, build, and thrive
- Tremendous Tech: As players progress, they can research technology to better their civilization, including sailing, industry, trade, and more
- Keep the Peeps Happy: Running a settlement is no small feat; players will need to keep track of their Peeps’ happiness alongside food, resources and pollution levels
- A Whole New World: With six unique biomes filled with resources and mysterious relics, players must utilize the land and plan their settlements accordingly
- Award-winning Soundtrack: Benedict Nichols (Omno, The Falconeer) and James Dean of Ākau Audio compose a soundscape fit for any benevolent leader, winning ‘The Composed Segment’ Pav award for excellence in audio
Before We Leave is now playable on Nintendo Switch. The game has arrived on other consoles too, and is part of XBox Game Pass.

I’ve played this before on Steam, but my standards now are city skylines and surviving mars, and I think they did a much better job of introducing the player to the system and allowing them to engage with the characters.

I miss playing sim city and spore and this looks like the closest thing I can have at this moment.
