The “After 6 years of early access… Version 1.0!” text displaying over what appears to be a pixel shooter is extremely funny to me for some reason.
I get that games take time regardless of art style, still seems an odd point to hype.

It’s more of a top-down Terraria than a pixel shooter, with procedurally generated world, village building (with npcs that can do jobs there), gear upgrades and boss fights. That comparison might make it a bit less ridiculous.
Afaik this game was also made by a solo dev.
Ahh got it. Kind of figured at had to be more complex than it looked at first glance, and another commenter pointed out that it’s a solo dev as well. Thanks for the extra context!
So you get it’s a shitty thing to say, but you’re saying it anyway. Thanks for clarifying.
If pointing out things I find mildly amusing - with qualifiers, even - is “shitty,” we live in a pretty fucking sterile and boring world.
Is it any good?
I’ve only played EA for less than 10 hours, but it was fun. It’s kind of a top-down Terraria. I put it down because I wanted to wait for some features from the next patch, which came out and delivered those features but then also promised some even more exciting features in the next patch and so on. Launch may be a good time to get back in since they didn’t announce an exciting post-launch roadmap yet.
I played through it multiple times (basically replayed when major content was added) and I think it’s great. The changes from 1.0 are significant, so I’ll be down for a replay in a bit after I finish the mulitple games I am already playing.
I played it a year ago with some friends. If you like Terraria then give it a try.

I played this game last year and enjoyed it. Might have to give it another spin
