A favorite videogame of mine! It may look a bit alike to starbound but this does too many things with lot's of stuff for them to be a comparison at all. Word of warning however progress as well as finding fun and interesting things requires you to basically mine the hole damn planet's worth of crust, a good bit like Junk Jack. Besides that the game's upgrade's and thing's to craft are super super fun!! I had a good time shooting all the different guns too! I've been so happy to see the update's you've done! I hope you always update it to any degree no matter how long it takes
I'ts a great game, though a bit short and unfinished. It's great combination of side-by-side crafting games like Terraria and Starbound with immersive sim elements. Various craftible weapons, armor, and gadgets, cyberware implants, energy weapons, figuring out alien technology, upgrading the multitool piece by piece are my favourite parts of the game. It has many elements other games of the genre could learn. My biggest gripe is that the spiny worms which damage you on contact spawn too much on the surface, making it annoying to traverse. While figuring out what to do with, and how to use alien tech can be fun, it's also frustrating because nothing is explained. When I first played I didn't even know you can open the main gadget to put the tablet in it for "programming". I had to search online for explanation. It went great after that. Also at the end of the game it wasn't clear what to do. Since I skipped the tutorial at the start I went through it at the endgame thinking I should use the shuttle to get to the alien ship, instead I got myself back to the start of the game with all the items of the previous game, but when I reactivated the portal in the alien city, the game crashed loocking me out of completing the game. So I started the new character to beat the game :D
The chillest 2D open world block digger survival crafting game I had the pleasure to play. I found it to be easy, relaxing, carefree and fun to play multiple time with self-imposed rules. The game admittedly always has the same main things that I must do in each playthrough, but I can choose to: - ignore the crafting system and simply win the game using the loot found in the story locations - ignore the story locations and work via crafting to get everything I customize my character - play only using rifles, pistols, smgs, explosives or energy weapon - play using only bows and arrow or crossbows or throwables - play only using swords, axes, maces, daggers or some other focused strategy - get cyber augmentations and play as a cyborg with built-in arm-guns Negatives: - the story is somewhat mid - the world is nonsense - theres giant random mushrooms in the background that the player will not encounter on the foreground - the game has block digging mechanics but prevents me from using them 50% of the time - story locations are linear with no different ways to approach them - its always the same thing - it mixes tile-based worlds with objects/decorations that don't want to exist on a grid or are able to handle situations where the surrounding or underneath tiles have been removed from them - many inconsistent mechanics of how something interacts with another thing or doesn't - descriptions are missing everywhere - balancing of armors, weapons, items, crafting recipes, set bonuses, accessories are a mess - many items are so tiny that you won't know they're there unless you happen to use a tractor beam in that location - said tiny items in inventory are hard to tell apart what is what without highlighting them - most underground is empty, enemy encounters are sparse, most things/creatures spawn in randomly and not via nests or origin points - many interesting locations do not have map markers - player has to manually search the entire underground to find them methodically and tediously - most of the early tier content is outright forgotten or useless - usually acquiring mid-game Steel-tier equipment will cover the rest of the game's challenges - bosses are fun, but they are few just like the enemies, I tend to not have enough targets to fight to actually use the weapons I crafted - some technologies are impossible to discover by the player through manually crafting progression, requiring the player to visit story locations to get the needed piece to access it - enemy armor and damage resistances are arbitrary and cannot be eventually whittled down or stripped/peeled away with low power weapons, making only heavy-hitting weapons actually useful against them - many of the items, decorations and other element either lack a crafting recipe, cannot be recycled, do nothing, or lack descriptions - most story progression is vague and requires doing something that is not easy to decipher, not properly telegraphed or has a very real risk of causing a soft lock - there are unkillable turrets that can sometimes spawn in weird places that can actually block certain things unintentionally - the "magic" weapons and alien artifacts pale in comparison to some of the things that the player can craft - not enough accessory slots Despite all the negatives, which I hope will be fixed, the game is still really awesome and fun to play. It has a potential for post-ending randomized disposable planet realms to visit (reusing the existing content to create endless randomized playground world to visit and do stuff in) if the devs could streamline/reduce the cost of creating content for this game, since currently the player will grind to get everything the game has to offer but then has no outlet to direct it towards. I'm hopeful they'll properly polish and continue improving this game to reach v1.0.0.
