I sat and watched this game grow over the years from afar, only to realize it had suddenly hit a 1.0 release window, because my friend saw it on sale. A shame what happened to the launch day, and even bigger shame on those in the reviews either completely misunderstanding, or purposefully farming interactions from the "rushed" or "botched" launch. As a single-player experience, there's a lot here. There's a fully functional automation system, magitech programming system, buddy collection system, spell crafting... This game has a TON of things going for it, and they all work relatively well together, if you take time to understand them. The dev got the short end of the shaft with steam somehow not sharing its launch, and it looks like the main playerbase that *did* find it are expecting some AA or AAA quality stuff, even though this is very much like Terraria was when it 'fully launched'. I'm just one of many, but I'm putting my review here as not just a show of respect towards the dev, but to inform people that they're clearly still working on the game, even if it's more backend things. Simply viewing the forums will show them actively replying to bug reports and help topics, including edits and updates on if bugs are found or fixed. It's not dead, it's simply slowing down on content and focusing on the Engine while they get a more sustainable income. Which is honestly incredibly respectable in this age of pump-n-dump schemes and instant gratification.

Found out about this game after reading about how the steam launch experienced an extremely rare bug causing it to not notify anyone who wishlisted it when the game launched out of early access, despite over 130k people having it wishlisted. largely due to this, the game sold only around 500 copies in the 5 days following full release. Now, 10 months later, all that steam has offered them is a Daily Deal spot on the front page for 24 hours. Now, the game itself is pretty cool. I honestly mainly just bought it because I read what happened and thought these 2 french developers deserved some support. Its a little rough around the edges, but having played Starbound a decent amount and Terraria quite a lot, this game feels good to play. I havent played a lot, but from my time playing, along with the research and reviews I'd seen before I bought it, I can see that this has more than enough depth to carve out its own place in the genre. Unfortunately, due to the wishlisting situation, the devs have no choice but to put this game on the back burner while they try to save themselves by developing another game in the coming year. Personally, I hope the devs go ahead and take the deal from steam, and hopefully it will get them the attention it deserves, so that they may continue to polish it into the gem it can be.

First off, this is not Terraria. The trailer makes it look like a Terraria clone, but the game plays very differently. There's a good amount here and a ton of different mechanics and systems. I think the developers might have fallen to feature creep, but most things work pretty well still. There are a lot of quality of life issues that need to be ironed out still, and I occasionally run into a bug that can be easily exploited. However, the game is pretty good for the ten bucks range. Overall I don't regret buying and playing this, and I figure I have a lot more hours to go still.

I don't review games often, but I have put 7 hours into this so far and I wanted to give it a positive rating. It's clear that a lot of love has gone into this game. I have barely scratched the surface of what it seems to be able to allow, but so far, I've really enjoyed it. I like the dungeon concept, and it does have a Terraria feel with a twist. You can get different character abilities by leveling up using "monster souls" from slaying baddies in the game, which is really cool and unique. Also, each time you consume a new food item, you get select permanent stat increases for the first time on consumption. I thought that was really neat, too! I had this game on my wishlist for several years before biting the bullet recently to play it. The tutorial is a little confusing in the sense that it doesn't have any words but it's just pictographs--but I don't think it necessarily takes an Einstein to figure them out unless you are completely new to this style of game. As someone did mention, there's catchable critters. I haven't gotten to the point where I've been able to catch any yet, but different critters can have different "auras" (flame aura, ice, poison, etc) and there's some pretty neat abilities they have. I'm not sure if there will be additional updates, but I really hope that the dev sees this and keeps going. :) This passion project has had a lot of time, effort, and love poured into it.

This is a very interesting game that, as you might could tell, scratches a very similar itch as Terraria, however this game is nowhere near as wide and yet much deeper. There are mechanics in the game that I can barely even begin to scratch the surface of, and lead me to believe there is a very high skill ceiling indeed. It's pet system is very unique and very fun, the moment to moment is very engaging and there's plenty of content to explore. I can heartily recommend it, except... The game was relatively stable, right up until these past few hours of gameplay, when all the sudden my game can barely go 20 minutes without crashing. This is already a problem that very much needs addressing, but it would be manageable if not for the horrid autosave which hasn't actually saved me from losing huge swathes of progress a single time. Admittedly, I could certainly manually save every 5 minutes, but... Aside from this issue, this is a very fun and engaging game, and I really do hope the devs will continue to put out more content and for the love of goodness I hope they make it more stable.
