Once you repair your ship, you can fly to many different planets in the search for different resources. In Starbound, you're not limited to one planet. But Starbound gives players a much more directed and objective-based experience.

Starbound was made by some of the same folks behind Terraria, and it features very similar gameplay. You'll battle not only sea monsters, but also other sailors along the sunless sea, and you must appropriately outfit your ship to see your character's ambitions fulfilled. These stats help you in combat while you're sailing, but they also help you find out more about the world of the Unterzee and places like Fallen London as well as the lives of your companions. A win condition can be set depending on the type of character the player creates and the ambition chosen for that character, such as amassing a great fortune or discovering what happened to your deceased father.Īlong your journey, you'll acquire companions who increase your character's stats in different ways. You command a ship and must go from port to port, visiting the Unterzee's island communities to run missions that give you money and increase your core stats. This underground sea is dotted with island civilizations and half-seen underwater monsters. Sunless Sea is a disturbing, top-down, 2D roguelike survival game that features a player-created character in the world of the Unterzee. You'll discover powerful boss fights that require special conditions to trigger, locked-away temples you'll need to learn how to breach and a whole second half of the game that's unlockable after you've beaten the boss.Īvailable on: PC, Mac, PS4, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, 3DS, Switch, iOS, Android Terraria features a hardcore mode that deletes your character permanently upon death, a 'mediumcore' mode in which your inventory resets on death and a softcore mode with no death penalties. Once you meet your basic needs, you'll quickly discover more and more dangerous places on the map, either above ground or as you dig deep into the dirt. Playable with up to eight other people, Terraria starts out with some simple house-building to create shelter from the monsters that come at night both for you and for any nonplayer characters that may come along to help you. Terraria is a 2D survival platformer game that's as easygoing or as hardcore as you want it to be.
