There are NPC villages throughout the game that you can raid to get statues and pictures, seemingly at no cost whatsoever. You just place the blocks where you want along with the furniture you want. I would not say it is the most realistic, no worrying about supports or structural (in)stability. Really though, what I find a ton of fun is the home building. You have collected all these pixels, and just spotted a huge titanium vein which you lose if you die. This is probably when the action got most tense for me you have been digging and exploring a cave for ten minutes when a few monsters pop up to attack you with a lava flow behind you. There are treasure chests placed randomly around, usually with pretty good loot in them, along with creatures and mini-bosses that you can fight. On these procedurally generated planets, there are tons of caves which you can explore. The thing about sandbox games is you create your own story and own adventure. Really though, this is all just to introduce you to the mechanics of the game. They are pretty basic at the moment, but I have a feeling the creators are going to add more quests in later given they seem to have created this entire system based on it.
Once arriving on the starting planet, the game runs you through some tutorials to get you used to mining, hunting, cutting trees, and exploring. Needless to say, I see no reason to ever choose the permadeath option, but it would definitely add some adrenaline to the game. There are three game modes: Normal where you just lose 1/3 of your pixels after dying, Hardcore where you lose all items after dying, and permadeath which speaks for itself. Beyond that, there are options for everything from skin color to "personality" (the way your character stands). You create your character from one of six different races, and there are only visual differences between them at the moment. Several of the creators originally worked on Terraria, so this supposedly feels like the spiritual sequel. A Sandbox Game to the CoreĪt its core, Starbound is a sandbox game with (sort of) randomly generated planets where you can fight monsters, explore different planets, mine ores, and craft items. Right now, I am playing the Enraged Koala (awesome names right?) release, and as of January the game has sold over one million copies.
Currently, the game is in Early Access on Steam, so it is in Beta and things can easily change about it. Recently, I have been playing a decent amount of the game Starbound. As some of you probably know, every now and then I play video games in my free time.
