Tommy Daniels: "Starbound is a game that, after a few hours of play, starts to seem like an instant classic you’ll be revisiting from time to time over the next unknown period of years."
Starbound a crafting and exploration adventure game developed and published by Chucklefish is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X.
The latest episode of Dev Diary is a chat with Adam Riches from Chucklefish studios about his work on Wargroove, Starbound and more.
Terraria was a smash hit selling ten million units and still growing, and not only showing that Re-Logic was a force to be reckoned with but it also showed that Minecraft did not have to be the only building game. Rather than going for a straight clone of Minecraft, Terraria moved to a 2D adventure game, that had a wealth of combat, and bosses as well as a more meaningful progression than Minecraft. Overall, Terraria was an impressive game.
Jeez that's high praise for Starbound. Last time I played it with my friends it felt empty and a space cash grab version of terraria, "which at the time was an immensely good game.
That was about a year ago though... Things changed that much?
