A surprise love child of Touhou and FFXIV who was raised by the rougelite community and a very good game all around.

If you liked the old-school collectathons, you'll probably like this.
If you like platformers, you'll probably like this.
If you haven't played either, you'll probably like this.

Great game, and once you learn the ropes it's very easy to come back to.

Just needs a thriving community- don't be afraid to hop in and help start it!

There was a time, about a year ago, this game wasn't actively updated by the developers. It sat untouched for nearly a year, with things like body temperature and hunger to manage. Realistic, yes. Fun? Not as much as it could have been.

Fast forward to now, and you can (and probably WILL) make your own settlement. Fish-folk, deadly plant-people, hyper-advanced monkeys and wingless birds living in a settlement run by a collection of plasma with guns.

The music is fantastic. Curtis Schweitzer deserves much more credit for this than he does, it's some of the most gorgeous music I've heard in a video game in a very long time. The scenery is fantastic, and the universe feels endless. There's so much to explore- planets that are 90% water, planets that have long since frozen over, and more await you in the expanses of space.

If you've been on the fence about Starbound, I implore you- try it. It's one of my favorite games, and it's only getting better.

If you played and enjoyed The Enchanted Cave on Kongregate (or really any other website like that)... This is basically more of the same but better. If you played The Enchanted Cave 2 on Kongregate (or other website) you know the basics but there's some extras that were left out. Either way, this is still a very good game.

If you're a fan of Nerdook this game does not disappoint. A very strong first entry into the market.

10/10
