Dig or Die

"I'll increase the price at each major update during the Early Access period, until it reaches it final price of $12. This is how I see this early access: you pay only for what is already done, not for empty promises! " If only some game devs could take example on this ..

This is coming from someone who's spent over 100 hours in Terraria and around 20 hours in Starbound. When I first tried out Dig or Die, I didn't expect much. Upon loading the game, I took one look at the graphics and fully expected it to simply be a bad copy of Terraria... I couldn't have been more wrong. Dig or Die is quite different from Terraria, as I found out. The base defense in such a game is something I've always wanted. It makes the game much harder since you actualy have to plan out your base and base defenses, because monsters can break trough terrain. This is by far my favourite thing in the game. Another thing that stands out is the fluid physics. The flowing water looks great and it makes for some interesting mechanics too (electricity for example). Another thing I would mention is above ground building, as structures need support in order to stay up. As I've stated, th

Alpha games are tough to rate as they are in progress but so far this is a 9/10 for me. I feel as this gets closer to release it will be a 10/10. Pros: - Fun graphics (guy jumps like old school megaman) - Lots of content. (tons of varied enemies, bosses, etc) - Zero bugs. game never crashes, solid physics engine, water behaves rationaly, etc - Fun progression. No grinding, just fun exploring. You can not kill new types of enemies to keep the game from progressing to harder levels if you feel in over your head. - It's like terraria and Craft the World, with biomes and underwater bases. If you like that type of game this will be most enjoyable for you. - Price/Value. Right now the game is $4.99 which is an incredible value for what you get. - Lovely music/sound effects - Great base defense and tower defense type setup. Cons: (being picky as this game is pretty flawless) - The ships com

I like this game well enough, but at the same time, I was disappointed with it. I played for just over twenty hours at time of review and didn't get to the end because I just got bored. In the developer's description of this game, it appears he's very eager to make this game not Terraria. He says, "No swords, magic or flying clown monsters here" and "you build a fortress, not a holiday house. So you won't find hundreds of flowerpots or tapestries." The thing is, that's what makes Terraria fun. It gives me a reason to exist in the world beyond just the grind of building a rocket ship and endless turrets. And something else Terraria has is variety. I don't feel like this game has a ton of that. The crafting recipes are limited and you'll have access to all of them quite quickly. The enemies are just not very exciting and they each only drop a single resoucre. This one drops a horn. This

Overview Dig Or Die (DoD) is a 2D open-world survival game set in the far future, on an alien planet. Players impersonate employees of Craft&Co., an interplanetary building firm, that became stranded after a spaceship crash. Starting only with a few essential tools, you'll have to scavenge materials to build a base, craft more advanced technologies and fight the local creatures with the ultimate goal of building a rocket to escape the planet. 🟩 Pros Satisfying gameplay that merges sandbox exploration, tower defense and building simulation. Good variety of enemies, each with unique abilities and attacks. Decent amount of weapons, gadgets, turrets and machines to use and build your base with. Realistic physics simulation with fluids, weight and gravity that influences gameplay significantly. Enemies of your same technology tier are often very dangerous, making combat challenging.

Super recommend. Obviously comparitive to Terraria, but with much cleaner and easier to follow mechanics. Mining isn't as tedious and construction is a lot of fun. The environmental elements and physics make it very stimulating, fighting and base defense is a great mechanic. I loved Terraria, but it just consumed too much time (mining) - this is a game someone with a job can play. While it has one, you don't actually need the wiki open on the side to play it.
