A Terraria-like Sandbox Boss Rush game with RPG elements/build classes and very pretty visuals and music. Has ample room to grow and improve especially with the mod support. This is game is a 'Keeper' down the road

THE. GRIND. IS. REAL. Late game gets very boring and grindy with both class items and normal craft items. Everything also does a ton of damage which can make things feel unbalanced.

I had NOT expected the game to be this good! Feel is similar to Terraria or Starbound but with isometric view. Not too hard. Easy to explore. Ambience is a real treat. The lighting is perfect.

I think stopping hard drugs, cannabis and nicotine was easier then resisting the urge to play this game for 16 hours straight. Oh ya, big big recommend, just, be wary of the rabbit hole trap.
