Fun game, crazy deep if you're a completionist. All monsters spawn with a rarity modifier and random passives which can be absolutely busted, you can catch them, ride them, breed them, have them fight for you or power your machines palworld-style. Every weapon and armor comes with a damage type or element, a level of rarity, enchantments, runes and glyphs that can level up or be rerolled. You can build your own custom spells by picking an element of your choice, then add effects, movement patterns, adjust the damage and range (in exchange for manacost). You're also strongly encouraged to build factories, there's a whole system with cogs, pipes and power sources that can be used to automate food crafting I think? Havent touched it yet. There's a crap ton of ingredients and meals, crops to be grown, and eating each of them for the first time is how you increase your max HP. Also you get a skill tree and your inventory is infinite. That was the good part. The bugs... JESUS christ. 2016 Ark Survival Evolved looked like a finished, well polished AAA game compared to this mess. The amount of times I've had items fall through the world or just vanish from my inventory, the weird hitboxes, the crashes every 2h and then you lose your last 10 minutes of progress..... shameful. 15 minutes in my new game and my character just keeps dying and respawning at high speed, my buddy says he sees a fire animation on my character? Oh but I'm not losing any essence (basically xp), im actually gaining a lot of it! Great, I guess I found an infinite xp glitch? 15 minutes in? Sometimes I cant interact with blocks that I placed, in MY house for no apparent reason, but closing and reopening my world fixes it. Sometimes my friends can see mobs and I cant, sometimes its the other way around. Sometimes dungeons spawn without loot, or with challenge instructions that only some people can see. Enough shitting on the crappy programming; the DESIGN: How can anyone think that you want to get BLASTED with the intro music at 10000 Db when you open the game for the first time is beyond me, but even better: the title screen doesnt even have an "options" option. Thats only in the ingame interface. And that interface... oh boy.... have fun opening your inventory and have it take 8/10th of the screen (cant be resized btw), in a game where you're gonna be opening the menu every 2 seconds, thats just terrible. And scrolling in your inventory (or any menu for that matter, be it the skill window or the tutorial) also scrolls your hotbar, same for clicking. I mustve set my base on fire at least 6 times because I was unknowingly scrolling to a fire staff/spell (that I couldnt see, see comment about the huge inventory) and clicked on a menu item which made me shoot a fireball in my chicken coop. The loot is so unbalanced my friend and I found these crystals in a chest, 48 of them in the same chest. Using them sends us to the SAME dungeon, every time. We cleared it, it keeps sending us there. We now have 600 of those crystals. You also get crystals to upgrade your gear to a certain level. 1h in and I had 20 of those crystals.... 2 of them are enough to max out any piece of late game gear....... but hey you wanna max the RUNES on your gear? LOL that'll take 4 to the power 7 (16,384) runes of the same type, ideally you'll also want 3 runes per piece of gear. And they also need to be the same TYPE of rune (out of like 13 types ive found so far, there's probably more). These runes have a drop rate of about 1/200. Enjoy. Not to mention the absolute absence of guidance, need a blue orb to upgrade your anvil? Alright have fun looking for that lol (its dropped by the green monkeys in the jungle(wtf)). Oh hey, here's a random gate that'll cost you 2000 essence. I looked everywhere, there's nothing beyond the gate, just an empty prairie. Wanna go home? 2000 essence. The NPCs dont do anything, dont even bother trying. I first played this game 7 years ago on my brother's computer and thought it had a lot of potential. 2 weeks agoI saw it released for good and bought it but.... this is the same game I played 7 years ago... wtf did the devs do since 2017?? 10000/10 concept, very ambitious, lots to do (especially when you keep losing your stuff to bugs), 3/10 for the execution. I still enjoy it, I think.

Planet Centauri is a great game for those who like to grind for powerful items. Centauri offers the player various ways of fighting from swords, hammers, bows, boomerangs, and magic alongside offering monster taming and monster transformations as further ways to express oneself in it's combat system. Various armor classes can be chosen and upgraded into the endgame to offer additional customization to how you play. The game bases itself around a tier system from 1-7 with tier 7 items and monsters having greater potential while being much harder to obtain. Further customization can be obtained through runes and manipulable built in effects found on gear and weapons. It can take a lot of effort and patience to grind for the best items or encounter legendary monsters but when you get them their pay off feels very satisfying. Beyond combat, the game offers many technical systems such as cog based machinery, monster breeding, and it's own unique system of magitech, devices powered by the souls you gather from defeating enemies. The game offers a large variety of building materials and many collectibles to gather along the way giving you much to do during your adventure, but is open enough to give players the freedom to explore at their own pace. I definitely recommend giving it a try and seeing just how powerful you can become

If you like Starbound and Terraria, give this a shot. Lovely game, and the devs are very responsive (Quite literally spoke to one, or two).

My favorite part of this game so far is that you use several different attacks with melee weapons instead of just swinging it, haven't seen it anywhere else(yet). But anyways good game :)

It doesn't quite reach the heights of Terraria or Starbound... but its still pretty good for what it is. Also, much Like Terraria, it has been getting consistent updates... so that's a big plus.
