[*] 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.

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

For Players: Necesse is easily one of the greatest games I've played in recent times. It combines almost everything I love in gaming into a single experience. Now, is it perfect? No, there are still some things that keeps it from being a perfect 10/10 game in my eyes, but more on that later. So, what makes Necesse into such an enjoyable game for me? Fun and Challenging Bosses: Necesse offers a variety of bosses that are both fun and challenging, though sometimes they can feel a bit spongey. Extensive Item Variety: The game features a wide range of items with unique looks, stats, and functionalities. Crafting and City Simulation: These are two of my favourite aspects of Necesse. The city simulation element allows you to build up a city, recruit villagers, assign them tasks and or take them on adventures, creating a functional and dynamic town. This, combined with the extensive crafting system, makes for a very enjoyable gameplay experience. Exploration: This is perhaps the game's weakest aspect. Once you discover one of every biome and boss spawn location, there isn't much left to encourage further exploration. For Developers: Character Leveling System: Implementing a character leveling system could enhance the progression mechanics, providing a sense of growth and achievement. This system could also be used to improve NPCs, making them more useful and integral to the gameplay experience. Diplomacy System: Introducing diplomacy with surrounding villages could include trading resources, hiring mercenaries, and engaging in raids. This would increase the value of villagers and add depth to recruitment and guard training. It could also enhance the quest system by introducing village-related tasks, such as requests for aid or doing favours for neighbouring settlements. Enhanced Raider System: Adding raider bases and camps, would enable players to strike raiders pre-emptively. By either, eliminating a raid by attacking their raider camp, or by removing the threat of raiders in the surrounding area by attacking the raider base. Exploration and a "Living" World: Implementing the above suggestions could also enrich exploration and create a more dynamic world. For example, trading with or completing quests for discovered villages would motivate players to find more villages for trade or raids. Villages could also offer quests that lead players to new areas. This would transform villages into interactive entities rather than static objects to be looted.

Big fan of Terraria, Minecraft, and Core Keeper. This game has elements from all three. It's one of the best games I have played in while and I'm a big fan of survival craft games. The developer is working hard to make the game better and better everyday. I've put in almost 100 hours in the past couples days and I plan to put in more and more. Great game, great developer. If you're looking for your next favorite game, this is it.

I absolutely love the way you can just dump your whole inventory in a chest and watch a fleet of minions meticulously sort it all to the proper storage according to your preset instructions. Kick your feet up and relax while the help mills flour, makes bread, butchers some beef, harvests lettuce and leave you a stack of tasty burgers. This game has all the engagement of a survival crafting game, while removing all the tedium and micromanagement. Shoutout to Fair, the developer. Everywhere I go on Reddit or Steam forums, they are there helping out with even the smallest questions. Graphics update is coming up and looking like a huge improvement. I think this game is goin places.
