Is this subjectively boring like core keeper and terraria?

[Kankaku]

I personally didn't like those games because they felt like a slog does this game feel similar to those? Or is it more action and fun oriented?

Edit: thanks for the free points!

I feel like if Terraria bored you, you won't like Necesse, because the simplest comparison I can think of for Necesse would be "top down Terraria." It's not exactly the same game, but it has a lot of the same elements and concepts.

If you didn't like Terraria or Core Keeper then you won't probably like this one

but if action and fun is what you like then you'll like Terraria and Core Keeper and this one,

Bruh I'm a bit confused about your question

Terraria and Core keeper are more tedium than action based.

Personally I didn't like Terraria or Core Keeper much, but enjoyed Necesse when I played it a year or so ago, will go back in when more updates come out.

Being able to automate boring tasks and have things that help you in battles made it a lot more interesting for me.

How far in do you have to get to automate?

Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

I can't remember, I think it is a few hours as you have to do things to find NPC's that can do the roles you need.

I tried Core Keeper. I kept feeling empty inside and bored.
I loved Terraria, but it could've been better. Having to do everything yourself didn't help with the lack of purpose.

With Necesse I recommend trying to defeat the 1st boss ASAP. Do the quests the Elder gives you and you will find action. For more action and fun, also increase difficulty and frequency of raids to max. :)

Also: you can start to automate within the first minutes. It just requires you to place down the settlement flag which is in the starter building. After that it gradually adds to what you can automate. The norm being that you do things manually, defeat the next tier boss, automate what you previously did manually. But the basics can go automatic as soon you learn how to automate it and get the villagers to do it.

All the tedious grind "gameplay" that terraria has is automated by your settlers.

Don't worry, Necesse basically does everything right that Terraria did wrong.

i agree that core keeper sucks, but there are some things it does "objectively" better than Necesse... but a lot that Necesse does to blow Core keeper away. Core Keeper has better music and theme and art... but after you get over that initial Zelda-es feel the world has you find your experience there very lonely and meaningless. multiplayer should fix that but if you have friends like mine that cheat in every single game ive ever played with them... the meaningless factor only grows because now you cant play with friends b ecause they will simply plop in the end-game items making everything pointless. Necesse adds a bunch of features which greatly push this out... the first of which are a surface world with its own "goings on" to deal with and these all primarily have to do with your village and NPC villages but also the control given you to make use of your own villagers. Honestly Necesse combines some gameplay from Rimworld & Terraria but also callbacks to Minecraft and yes Core Keeper.

my only gripe with the game is the Music but there are mods which change music and even replace the art assets as well as add a whole lot of other functions.

if you cant trust your friends to not ruin your experience Necesse adds a lot of things to keep that lonely feeling at bay.

"is it subjectively boring like x and x" what a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moronic question. Absolutely anything can be boring to you whether you like 'similar' things or not, and 99% of peoples' responses would be completely biased one way or the other.

It's not like either of those games anyway besides it being pixelated and having bosses/gear progression, which many games have. If anyone ever says something is "top down terraria" or "2d minecraft," ignore them because it's a stupid comparison.


The NPC system is somewhat similar to Terraria in terms of how you get them to move in, but they have actual utility and aren't just merchants who will attack nearby monsters. They give quests as well and the main quests for killing bosses give some good rewards.
The settlement system in this is the most interesting thing to me, and I really enjoy it.

I like the music, the progression feels good to me, some of the bosses were actually interesting and engaging even after fighting them more than once, the map is very similar to Pixel Piracy's map and that's not a bad thing.


If you have absolutely no interest in the genre of this game, then you will most likely not enjoy it obviously. If you like the genre and just don't like Core Keeper and Terraria, then no one could possibly know if you will like it not because it is not either of those games.

The two main things you will be doing are digging for resources for gear and building houses for your settlers.
Just try it and refund it if you don't like it, you will play enough to come to a decision within 2 hours.

What an asinine response. I was literally asking for peoples opinions. If you don't understand the question and would rather make sad attempts to patronize me kindly ♥♥♥♥ off. I don't know how you went from acting like an ass hat to leaving a fairly decent comment after but maybe just keep it to yourself. As your parents should have taught you.

I said the question was stupid, because it is, and then I briefly said why it is stupid. I wasn't patronising you and I never said I didn't understand.

I gave you an answer that I tried to make as unbiased, objective and informative as I could despite the bad wording, and then you ♥♥♥♥♥ about it.

Grow some skin next time you make a post on an open discussion page, especially if you say something stupid or that doesn't make sense, and don't tell the person who answers your question to 'keep it to themselves'.

You did not like 2 games that are extremely similar to it. So no I doubt you will like this game or anything similar.

not nesasarily. i for one thought Core Keeper was good at first but became annoyed with it once i figured out the main loop and then it became just a chore and very boring.

Necesse hasnt been like that for me... so maybe the OP may come to enjoy Necesse even if they didnt like their two examples. that being said... how did they post in discussions in particular referring to the subject matter of their questions if they dont already own the game and clearly arent trolling everyone? i think the OP may have an ulterior motif for this post.

No I genuinely wanted to know peoples subjective view of the game and if they though I would like it beings that I found the others boring. No ulterior motive here.
