It certain that Starbound isn't finished yet the game is still in beta, and it lacks essential content (notably agriculture), with updates that sometimes delete your characters or their inventories. A beta that does more than just keep its promises The calm of these classic compositions recalls the style of Jeremy Soule, a successful composer that can be heard in Oblivion and Skyrim, with a style that really emphasizes beauty and nostalgia. Note that the game's music goes perfectly with the exploration phases. Having said that, it's still nice to come across these inhabited villages, like those filled with merchants, characters who have consistent lines of dialogue. Unlike most games in the genre, Starbound manages to have a genuine personality that always makes you come back for more! And they're very successful interiors too– they're hand drawn, which gives them great personality but a certain repetitiveness that can't be avoided. Despite the low resolution, characters and environments are very successful, while many decorative elements are carefully designed to give personality to interiors. Retro and friendlyĪs is now the norm for independent games, Starbound's calling card is its retro graphics based on large pixels. The building aspect, however, is very well thought out and you can easily construct any object you can think of. The crafting system is comprehensive too and constantly adds new content, although it's a shame that the menus aren't always completely functional when it comes to finding a particular object.
Exploring the galaxy adds a certain infinite dimension, while the quality of fights and platform phases is unrivalled. The monsters are varied and require different strategies for confronting them, while climate variability and severity gives real variety to the different planets, such as arid deserts and moons without oxygen. Starbound may have many similarities to Terraria, but it's undeniable that the space exploration game pushes far beyond the concept of its ancestor. Of course, there's also the ability to dust off your excavation tools at any time to dig and harvest the precious minerals buried in the depths of the planet. Each planet has its own individual climate, different monsters, and a hoard of NPCs populating entire villages, scattered across the universe like mysterious relics. The exploration component is paramount, and the excitement you feel when you discover a new planet is amazing. The game offers extensive creative possibilities, including being able to create your database on any planet in the (infinite) universe, customizing your ship, and customizing your equipment.The game offers a lot of content in the long term, with many levels of weapons and armor, galaxies which are prioritized according to the power of the enemy, and a higher quality of materials.īut Starbound isn't limited to a simplistic 2D hack'n'slash. Like Minecraft and Terraria, Starbound is what you make it.
