Description
You’ve fled your home, only to find yourself lost in space with a damaged ship. Your only option is to beam down to the planet below and gather the resources you need to repair your ship and set off to explore the vast, infinite universe…

In Starbound, you create your own story - there’s no wrong way to play! You may choose to save the universe from the forces that destroyed your home, uncovering greater galactic mysteries in the process, or you may wish to forego a heroic journey entirely in favor of colonizing uncharted planets.

Settle down and farm the land, become an intergalactic landlord, hop from planet to planet collecting rare creatures, or delve into dangerous dungeons and lay claim to extraordinary treasures.

Discover ancient temples and modern metropolises, trees with eyes and mischievous penguins. Make use of hundreds of materials and over two thousand objects to build a sleepy secluded cabin in the woods, a medieval castle, or an underwater arcade.

Starbound has been built from the ground up to be multiplayer and easily moddable. You have the tools to make the universe your own and modify the game to suit your play style - add new races, biomes, dungeons, and quests - the possibilities are limitless.
  • Choose from one of 7 playable races and customize your character
  • Save the universe in a story campaign featuring unique characters, bosses, dungeons and quests!
  • You're the captain of your very own starship! Decorate it, expand it and use it to explore a procedurally generated universe
  • Colonize uncharted planets and collect gifts from your tenants - if they like you, they may even ask to join your ship crew!
  • Three game modes - Casual (no need to eat), Survival (eat to survive/drop items on death) and Hardcore (permadeath)
  • Craft thousands of objects - building materials, armor, weapons, furniture and more
  • Capture unique monsters to fight alongside you
  • All content is available in online drop-in/drop-out co-op
  • Built from the ground up to be easily moddable. You have the tools to make the universe your own - add new races, biomes, dungeons, and quests

A Terraria like experience with a twist!

I feel like most of these user reviews on GOG are under-rating a game that ISN'T EVEN FINISHED YET. Their big 1.0 update is just around the corner, I recently got the game and so far I'd have to disagree with most of what has been said negatively about this game. The combat is just as fluid as Terraria's, weapons are unique and have a different way to fight with each one, and most of which have special abilities. I feel like crafting is done in a better fashion, no more building wooden walls, just right click using wooden blocks and they get set in the background! They have a pretty streamlined quest system so far that do a good job of helping you get the hang of the game. Story is coming very soon!! <- Something of which Terraria lacks altogether. You start out in your ship that's been broken down and you're left with getting it up and running again. Your teleporter can become functional right away so you can go down to orbiting planets, and from there you are working towards getting your ships thrusters repaired and the FTL drive. So far, I feel like this game is under-rated. It's a really cool sci-fi twist of Terraria with a flavor of its own. You can choose which Species you play as, which each have different sets of gear etc they can make for themselves. It's possible to sleep inside tents, beds, etc to restore health as well! I've only but scratched the surface and there's still hundreds and hundreds of hours to come. When you join your friends server, you can party up with them and teleport to their ship so you can explore the same planet together as well (just like you'd expect it to be possible). I'm personally looking forward to exploring many more planets in my journeys ahead with my brother and looking forward to their Story they are bringing that involves you being a Protector in training. The protectors belong to the Terrene Protectorate... You basically guard the galaxy, check it out. :) http://playstarbound.com/final-approach-to-1-0/

Master Piece

Lot of people argue about this game, i downloaded the past year, and this has been my favorite game of all time, not only because surviving and esploring new worlds, because, it has the touch. This game has everything someone could imagine, weapons, destroed city, new biomes, dark planets. OMGGG. Consider your responses people. 10/10

Surprising.

I'm a sucker for most of the aspects of this game. Space. Robots. Crafting. Procedurally generated. That being said, this game has provided some of the most organic narratives I've ever experienced in a sandbox game. Digging into a rare or strange biome and just trying to think "What is this about?" has led me to eagerly explore many times.
