I played this game last year and enjoyed it. Might have to give it another spin
Is it any good?
I’ve only played EA for less than 10 hours, but it was fun. It’s kind of a top-down Terraria. I put it down because I wanted to wait for some features from the next patch, which came out and delivered those features but then also promised some even more exciting features in the next patch and so on. Launch may be a good time to get back in since they didn’t announce an exciting post-launch roadmap yet.
I played through it multiple times (basically replayed when major content was added) and I think it’s great. The changes from 1.0 are significant, so I’ll be down for a replay in a bit after I finish the mulitple games I am already playing.
I played it a year ago with some friends. If you like Terraria then give it a try.
The “After 6 years of early access… Version 1.0!” text displaying over what appears to be a pixel shooter is extremely funny to me for some reason.
I get that games take time regardless of art style, still seems an odd point to hype.
It’s more of a top-down Terraria than a pixel shooter, with procedurally generated world, village building (with npcs that can do jobs there), gear upgrades and boss fights. That comparison might make it a bit less ridiculous.
Afaik this game was also made by a solo dev.
Ahh got it. Kind of figured at had to be more complex than it looked at first glance, and another commenter pointed out that it’s a solo dev as well. Thanks for the extra context!
It’s like a mix of Terraria and Rimworld. You get villagers of various types that join and can automate tasks. The work assignment view is straight out of Rimworld and I think the game is super fun. The end game has been redone a few times and it was kinda wacky and ultra hard. I am curious to see how different it is now in 1.0.
Oh cool, that’s a pretty ambitious concept. The idea of an open sim world where you can do pretty much whatever you want sounds awesome. Rimworld was very much not for me, though, as much as I wanted to like it; playwise it never clicked for whatever reason. Probably why this one whooshed me.
This doesn’t have the wacky openness or difficulty of Rimworld as much as the idea of having semi-random villagers that you can either recruit (in the wild) or that periodically come by and you can acquire. In the early game, it mostly feels like top down Terraria, but the village aspect with semi-autonomous members comes together pretty quick and there are raids that happen. It’s honestly pretty great. I have never managed to get anyone to play co-op and stick with it. To be fair, this feels like an issue I find with nearly all co-op games as my friends and family either aren’t nearly as into it as me or just never have their schedules line up.
So you get it’s a shitty thing to say, but you’re saying it anyway. Thanks for clarifying.
If pointing out things I find mildly amusing - with qualifiers, even - is “shitty,” we live in a pretty fucking sterile and boring world.
Yeah, so “boring” to just not say shitty, denigrating things out loud. Poor you. 🙄
