Brilliant, gives off such an unsettling and exciting vibe throughout the experience. Highly recommend to those who enjoy new and unique experiences.

Fun game. Really good atmosphere, update is a huge and welcome addition/improvement on the entire experience, Well done.

Playing this while I wait for DL2.

it's been half a decade and this game still pulls its weight among some of the best co-op experiences, best zombie games, best parkour games etc.

Extremely recommended.

Join the official discord if you want updates, the game isn't dead nor have the developers abandoned since last October.

In fact the recent update post dropped a teaser on arachnid-type legs research, which looks absolutely stunning, the physics are incredibly satisfying to look at.

Don't let my hours fool you, I have kept an active eye on the development of this game.
While witnessing many games from other teams rise, scam, fall, this team has consistently worked on, provided updates for and successfully reached and implemented funding goals as expected. I wouldn't sleep on the potential and consistency of what could be the next-gen robocraft, even more so than robocraft ever was or could be.

I hate it

Must have from the cod franchise, zombies at it's finest and a pretty good campaign.

Better than unmodded Minceraft

yeah it's alright fam

WARNING: THIS IS A REVIEW COMPLETELY BASED ON IT'S CURRENT STATE, PROS AND CONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

I would recommend this game to anyone with the taste of being able to commandeer said made machines and roam an open world map full of quests, sidequests and lots of hidden secrets...

PROS:
-Beautiful music, fits all the different scenarios, like an intense battle with other privateers or arriving at a mysterious temple shrouded with fog and mystery

-The crafting is impressive, and it takes EFFORT (not like the "effort" of recent video games with this sense of genre)
and dedication to complete tasks, as such making said item for a NPC and such, and not to leave out the immense size of the crafting variety. And lastly a neat little tab system where different types of items would fit into, making the list of craftables a lot less intimidating.

-The UI overall is great, if not a little under-res, the colours are fitting and it looks like a UI that had time put in it.

-The stat system is great, it's compiled of agility, vitality, strength and wisdom and another couple. but the reason it's so good is that it is just that. a little bar that has a couple of milestones that come with awesome perks.

-Lastly, the story system. I love it! it is very gripping and i enjoyed every encounter with a fellow NPC, and the idea of the game's origin and story is compelling and not seen elsewhere.

CONS:

-The MAJOR thing i wanted to point out is the performance coding. it is absolutely horrible; there i am, chugging along in my airship untill i hit a town, and during my visit my fps (averaging at 120fps) drops to about 15 and shoots back up as soon as i leave the VICINITY of any town. and this thing crashes at least 2 times on one of my average sessions.

-The low resolution of the UI is a definite thorn on the rose. Get that tuned up.

-The combat system lacks and feels very slow, whenever i'm in a gun fight the projectiles move so slowly i imagine i'm the guy from the matrix and i pretend to duck and jump over them... and the damage of both myself and the enemy (the humans that is) are just making it look like we were fighting with nerf guns

-The crafting can be a bit intimidating if one takes a glance, and can sometimes be a bit TOO much effort, because either it's just me or the game because my greatest challenge so far is finding sand to make a glass bottle.

-You should only be able to repair in a close proximity.

Thanks for reading my review and i hope you all enjoy the game if you buy it now, but if you wait keep this game in the watch list, because it has great potential and its gonna have multiplayer! :) Have fun!

Personally, i've been waiting since the beginning for Starbound. I've seen chucklefish studios blow it away with a little neat game with a difference - the game is absolutely beutiful! The music, colours, and pure randomly generated schemes surprised me when I finally got my hands on Starbound.
The overall of Starbound is a elegant and smooth touch to the indie 2D building/survive genre, it makes an enormous effort to stand out from other games and that's highly respectful.
