You do drop some things that can be critical though, like crafting materials and healing items.Įach race also has a visually distinct ship.

You keep your equipment and some other seemingly random categories, like seeds. That can be frustrating.įor those more familiar with Terraria, I should point out that unlike Terraria, you don’t drop all items on death. I like the eating requirements and the gameplay that drives, but don’t care so much for the drop items on death part. I really wish there was a midway point between casual and survival though. I’ve always been a fan of the Floran sprites.Īs for difficulty, I generally play on survival. In the “base game” these choices are mostly cosmetic. The character creation screen has a variety of different options. The art style isn’t necessarily for everyone, but it has its moments. Starbound, however, does have something resembling a proper narrative, and a world that has more… soul. It does have a lot of base gameplay in common with it’s “block-based” harvesting and building style. I have, and others have, often compared it to Terraria. In the most general sense, it is yet another 2D pixel-graphics-based survival/crafting sandbox game. Since questions were being asked about Starbound recently, I thought I would stop and do a quick overview for those that are unfamiliar with it.
