So, this got posted on r/basebuildinggames yesterday.
Hits that dream game, combining some of the most obvious stuff others have, and bizarrely, no other game is really doing..

Progression, items, crafting, menu is basically lifted directly from Terraria.
Settlement building is a bit starbound, a bit terraria, a bit Gnomoria/rimworld, a bit dragon quest builders 2. you start a settlement. you build houses. you build farms, you set a location for tree cutting, etc.
you recruit settlers. Guards, blacksmiths, farmers, alchemists, etc. Like terraria they sell stuff, based on bosses beaten. But, like Gnomoria, etc... they ALSO do jobs. you assign them houses. They will go farm your crops, while you are away. harvest them, and bring the food to the storage you assigned ot food, seeds to seed storage.. replant. they will cut down trees, in the same way. Then, you can assign crafting recipes in the stove, ala rimworld/gnomoria. make x to y in storage, make x 1-y times, etc. can do this with potions, etc too. the fisherman will fish, put in storag, and the alchemist will use to make potions as you set.

Raids occur. where, you can use walls to tower defense defend.


It's VERY early access. check the announcement page to see its update history.

solo, or server multiplayer like Terraria.


world gen system atm, leaves a bit to be desired. its not voxels like terraria or minecraft. the "island" zone system, and z levels are weak imho.
not nearly as much content as terraria. art could use more work too.


50% off atm, till jan 1st. $5.

Eh, it's $5, threw it into the queue, it will probably be out of early access by the time I get around to playing it ;p

It's meh. I watched a video by a guy named Splattercatgaming who reviews indie games and this Keplerth game seems better in every single aspect to Necesse.



The game wasn't even worth the $5. Oh, you will get 5 hours out of it I am sure if you like the genre, but it won't be exciting or novel in any way.

I refunded my two purchases for me and my son, and may actually pick up Keplerth.

/shrug. its very EA as noted.

keplerth is on my radar for sure. Doesn't seem to have any colony building though. Base building is entirely a solo experience like 99% of other survival base builders.

Fair. Will definitely return when it is more developed and see how it turns out. Yeah, Keplerth is the single player experience, without the Rimworld community planning stuff.

This thread title reads like the gaming equivalent of some new overpriced restaurant my wife would want to try

“retro Asian fart-tart fusion gastro-brew-pub... with avocados and an IPA”

I'm a sucker for any game like this, bought this years ago, one of the ones I let cook instead of playing early.

Completely sidetracked me from Legion Remix, and I've been completely absorbed past 2 days.

I think I might be autistic, and I'm just realizing it at 46.

ha nice. Yeah, I suppose I never posted about 1.0 releasing.

I don't think it ever quite came around to be the game I hoped it would be. But the dev did keep at it, updating and improving it. it is still one of the better terraria clones. corekeeper, etc.

I have not actually played the lastfew updates. Infinate seemless biomes was added in 1.0. The island system was absolutely one of my pet peeves for it.
the art was improved several times.

Oh cool, the island stuff was the worst part about this otherwise pretty fun game.

Might have to give it another fresh run.

I played it when they released 1.0, made a post in the general news about it, it's a pretty fun game. Nothing too amazing though, it's very copypasted Terraria stuff, the villagers and giving them roles so they do all the annoying shit for you is great and at the end of the game they have a Path of Exile style endgame with maps and a talent tree and stuff which is interesting but overall I didn't finish the endgame cause I got pretty bored, combat isn't as tight or well balanced as Terraria and it lacks a solid feel of progression with the sets being fairly same-ish and not having like increasingly better movement options which is what makes early Terraria so different than late(double jump+speed boots > hook on platforms > wings + teleport all with increasingly better values + dash in mods).
