FoE Remains: a free Steam roguelike mixing Fallout and ponies

Sometimes the unlikeliest projects turn into genuine hits. That’s the case with FoE Remains, a free game on Steam that fuses the bleak mood of Fallout with the candy-colored look of My Little Pony. It may sound absurd on paper, yet in practice the project has already scored 98% positive reviews and is steadily building momentum.

Built on the fanfic Fallout: Equestria, the game sets friendship and magic against a post-apocalyptic backdrop. Players step into the hooves of a young mare exploring the ruins of a collapsed civilization. Along the way, there are mutants, survivors, and allies who appear out of nowhere. Each encounter nudges a decision—trade, help, or fight—and the story branches around those choices.

On the mechanics side, FoE Remains blends 2D platforming, shooting, roguelike structure, and RPG elements. Platforming sits alongside firefights, and procedural generation keeps every run distinct. A character’s death ends the attempt, but experience and upgrades carry forward, letting you steadily power up and tune the build to your preferred style.

There’s a striking amount of content: over 200 weapon types plus dozens of skills, perks, and enemy varieties. The community highlights not only the depth of its systems but also how surprisingly cohesive the pairing of a “serious” wasteland and “cute” visuals turns out to be. It isn’t flawless—some point to a steep learning curve and minor bugs—but the overall sentiment has already propelled FoE Remains into the ranks of Steam’s small-scale phenomena.

FoE Remains is a free Steam release that marries Fallout and My Little Pony, holds a 98% positive rating, and packs more than 200 weapons alongside roguelike mechanics.
