You can sprint and ram trees to drop their fruits and while the elephants eat grass on the ground, it barely gives them the energy to continue with the journey so fruits are the best source of energy in the game.Īs you progress in the game, you will come to many rivers and small lakes where you can wash yourself, have some fun in the water, and have the whole herd drink water because hydration is just as equally important for your herd as food. Nurturing takes a little time and your herd gathers around as your baby feeds and once done the herd can finally move ahead. Overall, Shelter 3 is a pretty challenging game because apart from protecting your herd from predators such as alligators and tigers, you also have to find food and water for your herd and also nurse your own baby as well. This makes the herd extremely vulnerable and further increases the challenge of the game. I would have loved if the game had some sort of defense mechanic as well in place to protect the young ones from predators. One of the things I did feel a little strange was that even that baby was surrounded by adults, the tiger just touched it and it died whereas in real-world elephants would actually actively protect their young ones and a single tiger would never be able to take down a baby elephant on its own with adults sticking close to it. I lost my first baby elephant in the herd to a tiger attack.

While the game may look like it will not kill anyone, it certainly will and does not hold back when it comes to babies as well. For such an adorable game, Shelter 3 is brutal and does not hesitate to show you what happens out in nature and if you are not careful with your decision-making. During my first playthrough of the game, I got lost while crossing the alligator-infested river and managed to get my herd in the tiger territory where I lost a baby elephant. Other than this, there is not much help with the navigation of the map and sometimes it is fairly easy to get lost in the game as well. You have different ways to see after your herd such as the Sense which shows all of the elephants in white around you and also marks the checkpoint where you must head for the next phase of your journey. If there is danger around, you can call them quickly with the emergency call as well but most of the time, your herd will follow you around. There are different ways to control the herd for example if you knock down fruits from a tree, the herd will quickly gather to eat the fruits, or you can call them to yourself manually as well. You control the main leader of the pack and everyone follows you around in levels. You jump in the hoofs of a new mother who also have her little calf with her, and she is given the responsibility of leading the whole herd comprising of the matriarch herself along with different adults and other babies. The gameplay of Shelter 3 involves you controlling the main leader of the pack under the watch of the old matriarch of the herd. All of this must be done under the careful eye of your herd’s matriarch who is now too old to lead the herd herself. The entire responsibility falls into your hands and you have to decide the future of your herd ranging from survival to tackling predators to finding food and water. Might & Delight is known for creating such emotional journeys however this time around, the developer has decided to include a complete herd into the mix and has made you the leader of the pack. Shelter 3 is a journey of an elephant herd from their safe zone to another zone but the path is filled with dangers and challenges that few have ever survived.
