Starbound is a game created by a team of outstanding developers. This project was taken on by the studio Chucklefish games. Starbound is an indie game that combines sandbox and arcade genres. A beautiful pixel wonder, as the developers stated, "combines a mix of games like Terraria, Diablo, Metroid, Castlevania, Pokémon, and some things that no one has ever done before."
The game's action begins with your home spaceship being attacked by an unknown adversary. The ship loses control, and you catapult in a rescue shuttle in an unknown direction, hopelessly getting lost in a sea of stars. Fortunately, your shuttle comes into contact with an abandoned space station, and this marks the beginning of adventures that span the entire universe. Starbound features quests and storyline missions located within an immense universe.
One of the main features of the game is that the graphics are procedurally generated, meaning the graphics are generated randomly by the game code. For example, according to the developers, a single rocket launcher has 21,000 different models!!! The same applies to creatures. Everything is designed so that no two planets are alike. They can be traversed in a loop, adding even more realism and atmosphere to your experience in space. The game also places a strong emphasis on the character's exploration of the terrain.
Absolutely every object in the game, down to trees and flowers, has a description. All observations can be recorded in an electronic journal to later show to your friends. By the way, speaking of friends, yes, the game supports full multiplayer! You can share your unique coordinates in the world for each planet. Explore together, as it is much more fun!
Another important role is played by NPCs. They are required for crafting, which is also very important in this game for obtaining quests and rewards.
What proves that this game truly has vast possibilities is another interesting aspect - the entire planet can be your home. Every aspect of the planet is under your control - weather, terrain, population, resources - all of it can be bent to your will. The game features a teleportation system. The terrain is completely deformable - you can easily dig a cave deep into the planet. Ultimately, you can engage in populating the fauna on the planet.
In summary, in this game, everyone will find an activity that suits their taste - whether it's actively waging star wars or peacefully raising penguins in your zoo on the station.
