March 2025

This is a careful positive review, if the game was more expensive then my expectations would have been higher. This game is a topdown terraria with light city-building elements. Let us start with the negative: --- world-gen is boring, you will get flat islands and the same bloody ruin over and over and over and... , you get it. Even when you go into the deep cave you have same boring stuff and even the little (one thing so far) new stuff I found just repeats itself. The puzzle rooms are a good idea but there is only 2 variants. Devs, please consider adding cliffs and microbiomes (they seem to be planning to add some microbiomes, check the community posts). Another idea I had was to add ways to dive and have underwater content. Catching fish underwater directly would be a cool addition. + The graphics update was well needed as the game looked undercooked before. +++ The settlementbuilding is by far the best part of the game and I would welcome to see it more fleshed out with character-traits for your little dwellers. You have plenty of options to get them to work in farming, crafting and they even sort storage for you. You can take your guys with you into battle. Be aware that they may die if have the setting on and require a rare potion to revive. I myself have not found all the ingredients yet to make it myself. Random visitors may sell them! There are raids if you activate them upon world creation. I am going to add that raids are dependant on which biomes you visited, I recommend not to visit biomes until you have set up some defenses (can take traps from the ruins) and restrict your settlers to the inside of your base. Then set up a lever-activated trapcorridor to kill the intruders or go them and light them up with ranged weapons, your choice! Something else is that it would be nice to see the settler get more equipment, so far they can have armor and a weapon on and that is it. ++ The bosses are fairly nice so far. Have not seen all. Update: I have seen all, they are fine. +/- regular enemies while nice are a little to repetetive, I am currently exploring the dangerous deep caves in different biomes for loot and I am coming across a lot of the same enemies, there are luckily others mixed in but come on, at least make them look/act/attack differently depending on the biome. Looking at you generic skeletons... + The incursions are a fine addition for people that want to have a challenge after beating the final boss. They are basically random with modifiers and then a boss to beat. In the arena are special upgradematerials to find. Pretty grindy but the best stuff is in there to get. Needs more variety, I looked it up because one of the bosses did not drop something I thought was in the lootpool but nope need to craft it with the rare stuff from the incursions! ++ There is modding and the game has some interesting mods like a race mod and a RPG mod that add depth that is very much needed. I hope the devs do not rely on modders to do their job. TL;DR: Overall the game is cheap and offers some new stuff for the terraria-formula if the devs keep adding more stuff, variants and other fun things to work with (overall depth) then I can only recommend this. Something that worries me is that the devs are releasing the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1169040/eventcomments/612032279991027847/]1.0 update later this year... the game is on 0.3x right now. I really hope there will be more coming but this has me worried. Carefull thumb up!

[*] NPC management works well [*] Automation makes the game not tedious [*] Cannot defeat a boss? Hey boss, you wanna get bullied by a party of 10+ NPCs? [*] Insufficient inventory slots? No worries! We have a void pouch to store items in another dimension! [*] too many types of potions/arrows/bullets? No worries! we have potion/ammo bags to hold them all! [*] too many potion types and too tedious to use them one by one? One key press to use them all! While other reviews summarise the pros well, I want to specifically point out one thing that makes this game so superior. This game values the player's time. This game allows the player to focus on what the player wants to focus. Different types of NPCs can handle a specific aspect of this game. For example, miners can be sent to a mining trip to get ores, so that the player do not need to do that. Want some meat? Hunters are ready! Want some fish? Anglers to the rescue! One step further, what if a player wants to minimise exploring and focus solely on base building? No problem! The explorer NPC can bring what ought to be found in caves back to the player! This game is so good not just by adding contents, but also by providing ways to subtract in-game elements that are less favourable to a player. In my opinion, if in the future, the game development continues like Terraria, this will be the "Game of the Decade" eventually.

Your villagers will sort your chests and do actual jobs without abstraction, immediately putting Necesse head and shoulders above 99.5% of all grid-based, survival crafting, base builders played from the perspective of a single character. That said, it's also boss gated, which might be a turn off unless that's your jam.

Jan. 2025

Think Rimworld meets Terraria, fun base builder/manager with boss progression and occasional invasion, and gives that nice feeling of being over-powered when backtracking enemies, but still gives you a challenge with the current level stuff

Only 9 hours in and I can honestly say I am HOOKED! This game has it all .... crafting / looting / Dungeon crawling / mining ... and on and on and on. Iv had this game from day one but never touched it till today giving it time to come to a boil and this game is HOT!

To the team that brought this world of Necesse to life THANK YOU AND NEVER GIVE UP! ... MERCH???
