Most of the rougher planets require you to craft additional gear, such as a heating system, just to be able to survive on them, and that’s excluding the additional threat of larger and more dangerous mobs. The universe contains thousands of star systems, each with their own procedurally generated planets with unique biomes and weather conditions. In Starbound, you are not bound to one planet. But Starbound goes above and beyond, it takes the source material and expands on it in a way that is truly remarkable. Many consider Starbound to be a spiritual successor to Terraria, another fantastic 2D sidescroller in its own right, and you can see why, the influences are unmistakable.
The sheer amount of customization items in Starbound is amazing, with each of the races possessing their own unique variations of the same items. There are also multiple options present for customization, from furniture, rails to even an option to display fossils in you home. You can recruit NPCs for you crew, upgrade you ship, build colonies, construct massive structures, attempt side-quests and much, much more. Not only that, you are also able to upgrade the tool’s area of effect and range as well.Įventually you’ll reach your first Outpost, at which point the entire universe opens up as your own personal playground, and while there is a main questline you can follow, Starbound doesn’t keep you grounded for long. As you progress forward, you can use Manipulator Modules to upgrade the Matter Manipulator to preform a variety of other tasks such as collecting liquids, painting and even wiring. This tool is used for mining as well as placing any and all blocks in the game. From here, you beam down onto the starter planet and get to work collecting resources, growing food and working towards repairing your ship.Īt the beginning of the game, you get a hold of your most powerful tool, the Matter Manipulator. After picking your race and a brief introduction section, your character is stranded in space with a damaged spaceship. Right off the bat, Starbound plunges you into the far reaches of space with a clear goal in sight and a reason to work towards it.
It’s true, the game has me hooked, and I can easily claim that Starbound is one of the greatest indie titles I have ever had the pleasure of playing. During my 30+ hour journey with Starbound, my feelings for the game have gone from casual dismissal to absolute adoration.
