FoE Remains is based on Fallout: Equestria, a fanfiction that merges the harsh world of Fallout with the charm of My Little Pony. It may sound absurd – and in many ways it is – but the reviews show that players are loving it. You take on the role of a young mare exploring the ruins of a shattered world, battling mutated creatures and meeting other survivors. These encounters can lead to trade, quests or conflict, depending on your choices. The story is non-linear, unfolding through your interactions and decisions.
In terms of gameplay, FoE Remains combines classic 2D platforming with shoot-'em-up, roguelike and RPG elements. At its core, it feels like a traditional platformer – you move side to side, leap over gaps and avoid traps. But your pony is also armed, taking down enemies with a range of weapons. Thanks to its roguelike structure, each run feels unique, with shifting enemy placements, room layouts and loot that keep the experience fresh. When your hoofed hero falls, the run ends – but experience carries over, letting you level up and customize your character to match your playstyle.
FoE Remains has received overwhelmingly positive feedback on Steam, holding a 98% approval rating from 71 reviews. Players praise not only the atmospheric setting and varied gameplay but also the sheer depth of content – with over 200 weapons, a wide selection of abilities, enemy types, perks and items. “Overall, this is just a hilarious meme game with surprisingly very well made 2D action adventure gameplay,” wrote Robert das Wildschein on Itch.io. Criticism is minimal: some players note the steep learning curve for newcomers and a few lingering technical issues, but these don’t appear to overshadow the overall experience.
