If you just want to bash some blocks or swing a sword at alien monsters without getting too much into any of the systems at play, you can do that, too. Ambitious farmers and builders create vast crop and supply networks fueled by ever-advancing technology and ship upgrades. Survivors crawl victoriously from deep digs out to the surface, furtively stuffing rapidly decaying food in their mouths to stave off hunger while hastily wrapping bandages on wounds. From there, the universe opens up slowly, revealing new activities and items that help ensure your survival and prosperity, drawing you in to a vast universe to discover alone or with friends.Īdventurers blaze trails in the stars, picking up the best weapons and armor, hewing and shooting their way through harsh alien planets and collecting treasure from hidden dungeons.
Players begin in deep space, surrounded by unfamiliar planets and with a malfunctioning ship at their disposal. Starbound is a survival/exploration experience that has been in some form of early access for years, but it is finally launching into orbit with an official release.
