RimWorld is a story generator. It’s designed to co-author tragic, twisted, and triumphant stories about imprisoned pirates, desperate colonists, starvation and survival. It works by controlling the “random” events that the world throws at you. Every thunderstorm, pirate raid, and traveling salesman is a card dealt into your story by the AI Storyteller. There are several storytellers to choose from. Randy Random does crazy stuff, Cassandra Classic goes for rising tension, and Phoebe Chillax likes to relax.
Your colonists are not professional settlers – they’re crash-landed survivors from a passenger liner destroyed in orbit. You can end up with a nobleman, an accountant, and a housewife. You’ll acquire more colonists by capturing them in combat and turning them to your side, buying them from slave traders, or taking in refugees. So your colony will always be a motley crew.
Each person’s background is tracked and affects how they play. A nobleman will be great at social skills (recruiting prisoners, negotiating trade prices), but refuse to do physical work. A farm oaf knows how to grow food by long experience, but cannot do research. A nerdy scientist is great at research, but cannot do social tasks at all. A genetically engineered assassin can do nothing but kill – but he does that very well.
Colonists develop - and destroy - relationships. Each has an opinion of the others, which determines whether they'll become lovers, marry, cheat, or fight. Perhaps your two best colonists are happily married - until one of them falls for the dashing surgeon who saved her from a gunshot wound.
The game generates a whole planet from pole to equator. You choose whether to land your crash pods in a cold northern tundra, a parched desert flat, a temperate forest, or a steaming equatorial jungle. Different areas have different animals, plants, diseases, temperatures, rainfall, mineral resources, and terrain. These challenges of surviving in a disease-infested, choking jungle are very different from those in a parched desert wasteland or a frozen tundra with a two-month growing season.
Travel across the planet. You're not stuck in one place. You can form a caravan of people, animals, and prisoners. Rescue kidnapped former allies from pirate outposts, attend peace talks, trade with other factions, attack enemy colonies, and complete other quests. You can even pack up your entire colony and move to a new place. You can use rocket-powered transport pods to travel faster.
You can tame and train animals. Lovable pets will cheer up sad colonists. Farm animals can be worked, milked, and sheared. Attack beasts can be released upon your enemies. There are many animals - cats, labrador retrievers, grizzly bears, camels, cougars, chinchillas, chickens, and exotic alien-like lifeforms.
People in RimWorld constantly observe their situation and surroundings in order to decide how to feel at any given moment. They respond to hunger and fatigue, witnessing death, disrespectfully unburied corpses, being wounded, being left in darkness, getting packed into cramped environments, sleeping outside or in the same room as others, and many other situations. If they're too stressed, they might lash out or break down.
Wounds, infections, prosthetics, and chronic conditions are tracked on each body part and affect characters' capacities. Eye injuries make it hard to shoot or do surgery. Wounded legs slow people down. Hands, brain, mouth, heart, liver, kidneys, stomach, feet, fingers, toes, and more can all be wounded, diseased, or missing, and all have logical in-game effects. And other species have their own body layouts - take off a deer's leg, and it can still hobble on the other three. Take off a rhino's horn, and it's much less dangerous.
You can repair body parts with prosthetics ranging from primitive to transcendent. A peg leg will get Joe Colonist walking after an unfortunate incident with a rhinoceros, but he'll still be quite slow. Buy an expensive bionic leg from a trader the next year, and Joe becomes a superhuman runner. You can even extract, sell, buy, and transplant internal organs.
And there's much more than that! The game is easy to mod and has an active mod community. Read more at .

How much does RimWorld for PC cost right now?
RimWorld for PC starts at €3.03 (€3.40 with fees) at Key4Games, 89% under the €31.99 (no fees) of the official store — but that is a shared account, not a key of your own. If you want a key tied to your own account, the cheapest is €16.75 (no fees) at CJS-CDKeys.
That €3.03 (€3.40 with fees) already includes the GOCDKEYS16 coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.
With 43 offers from 16 stores, this is a crowded listing, and crowded listings are where sellers undercut each other instead of holding a line.
That puts it 11% under its average of €18.79 since 2017, so today is a better entry point than most days of its life.
Is it worth buying the Steam Key for RimWorld now or waiting?
That €16.75 (no fees) key is at one of its best prices.
- Those €16.75 (no fees) are 29% below what it usually costs, measured on the store price.
- 15 stores sell the Steam Key at the same time, and with that much competition the price moves almost daily.
- Not counting today, only 20 days out of the 2,140 days on record were this cheap or cheaper; the lowest it has ever cost is €7.73.
Worked out from 4,463 daily records of the Steam Key for RimWorld across 28 stores. See the full price history.
The price does not include each store's payment fees. The percentage is measured on the store price, without coupons, because that is how we record the history. The analysis only counts Key offers. Shared accounts, Steam Gift and physical editions stay out, because they are not the same product and their prices move differently.
Are these stores safe to buy RimWorld from?
One caveat worth €0.32 (€0.10 with fees): the €3.03 (€3.40 with fees) at Key4Games is the cheapest, but that store carries only 37 Trustpilot reviews, so there is barely any track record behind it. Difmark sells the same shared account for €3.35 (€3.50 with fees) — €0.32 (€0.10 with fees) more — backed by 14.2k reviews and a 4.1 out of 5, which is a small premium for a seller thousands of buyers have already tested.
Which RimWorld format should you buy?
With the shared account at Key4Games you log into an account that already owns the game: it is the cheapest route, but it never becomes yours and the seller keeps the credentials. If they ever lose or change them, you lose access.
The key at CJS-CDKeys costs €13.72 (€13.35 with fees) more, but you redeem it on your own account and the game stays there for good. That is the difference between renting and buying.
The 11 Steam Gift offers are pricier than the key and leave more room for error, because they depend on the region and on Steam friendship.
Can you activate RimWorld in US?
27 of the 43 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.
Is RimWorld worth it?
Critics put it at 86 out of 100, though there are only 11 reviews published so far.
Why is there such an expensive RimWorld offer?
One listing is worth ignoring: the Steam key that Gamivo has at €63.68 (€66.90 with fees) is more than 19 times the cheapest offer and is not what this game costs. The number to work from is €16.75 (no fees) at CJS-CDKeys.

What do our users think of RimWorld for PC Digital?
A deep colony simulator, all the drama is d by a storyteller, from your stories. You manage colonists' moods, repel raids, or survive the wrath of an angry climate. This AI will the weirdest stories for you, and every playthrough can be completely unique. To the moon with the replay value and addictive nature of this game.
this game is amazing if you like games that are simulation and it is just a uniqe game in my opinion and ever since I have bought it i have just been playing it non stop
If you are looking for a fun game that perfectly combines survival/colony simulation and RTS this is it for you. By choosing a suitable storyteller there is a way to play for everyone, be it relaxed and focusing on building or action packed with a lot of raids. It's all up to you and that is what I love about it!
I want this game. It's very nice and strategic, you manage your own colony, so I think it can be very interesting game. I want to buy it, or win if this possible
This game is awesome i only wait for buy(or win here) and play on my own. Super nice real time strategy.
wow
