About the Game
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.

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, underwater arcade, or even a space station.

It's fun. Tried it pirated and then bought it to support the developer.
Ah Starbound. A game i can say is one of my favorites even to this day but with knowing that this game might never get another update ever. I just can't help but feel bad for this game it had a lot going for it and it is a great game. And yes i do know of the stuff that happened with the devs. Even then i still have this strong wish to just see this game get updated again. Because if there was ever a game that really needs a second chance it is this game. And i want to just say thanks to the devs of this game and the mod devs and Cutis Schweitzer for making some of my happiest moments in my life. And another thank you to the playerbase of this game because without all of you Starbound would have never become like this. So to the universe of Starbound merry christmas and a happy new year. And here is hoping that next year will be another year of people having fun playing what they want.
TOOOTALLY enjoy this game!! I've played it since it was in beta, and I don't regret it ever. Every time I'm looking for a complex and detailed sandbox game to get my creativity going, I always run to Starbound. I've spent so many hours fighting bosses and building houses and not ONCE have I ever felt like this game disappointed me. The plot and detail in the universe is immaculate, and never fails to amaze me each time I travel to another solar system. It really saved me from some rough times, and I know it'll help me through more.
I cannot recommend this game while Terraria exists. Starbound set out to do so much more, and failed nearly every step of the way. Very underwhelming.
It breaks my heart that this game is not as popular as terraria.
Really fun game, story is pretty good but a little generic, mods are awesome and theres tons of them but sadly the multiplayer is really shitty and hard to make work, when it does work it's perfect.
If starbound has no fans then i am dead.
Meh, its a sandbox with potential that got kneecapped by some stupid "savior of the universe" storyline that you cant avoid.
I spent this much time to figure out that, I am that stupid yes, you can still hunt and grind to get good gear and make a lil cute colony and it is fun! but i cant help but just feel like a lot of the potential got put in the bin to make place for a main questline that had no place in a game like this.
Also please, dropping almost all your items when dying? really? Its not because Minecraft does it that suddenly its a good game loop to lose your items and have to stress over getting them back before they disappear, its so annoying that its been 4 years since I played this and I still have memories of having to panic rush through a dungeon I had cleared so I can get my items back.
Honestly if it wasn't for the furry bait and mod support there would be no reason at all to buy this.
If you're the type of person that likes a good base game to add mods on top to enhance/expand then this isn't gonna be for you.
If you don't mind a shallow experience because mods will do the work for the devs, then sure go for it!
its so cool!!! i love the variety of worlds u get to explore plus its fun having a spaceship
Lowkey think it's fun, have freedom, doesn't feel to difficult, but it's definitely not just a piece of cake, great balance, and I love messing around, it has lot's of variety and a great story, haven't beat the game yet but I've played for a while, and I love it, worth the money imo.
Flawed, but underneath all the scuff the game is actually pretty fun.
Played during beta and the content updates made it great. Now that its out on full release the "completed" game feels like it lacks any soul.
It had a lot of potential but now its basically a "terraria in space but boring."
Loved this game in its early days and despite it being a shell of what it could have been I still recommend at least giving it a try because the modding community makes the game fun.
This is basically Terraria but with infinite space exploration on top of the most odd looking creatures you'll see in any game of this sort. The only comparison to how some of the creatures look would be how goofy you can make your character look in ARK Survival.
ive been playing this game since beta days and i recommend anyone who picks this game up to it with fracken universe and or on unstable for more content. going to 1.o removed a LOT of things unfortunatly.
Its fun playing modded mostly there are a lot of mods that are a fun add on it helps with some gameplay
Super duper fun!! I've played a bunch of this with friends, and I adore it! It's got everything I love: mining, crafting, exploring, fighting, even fossils!!!! I love fossils!!
The customization is great! You have a lot of control over what you look like, and what you can build! Do whatever you want forever!! In space!!
Starbound, tragically, never aspired to be anything other than "Terraria in spaaaace!".
For example, let's say you arrive at a planet, beam down to a random spot, and find that it's nighttime. You want daytime, so you just beam to the opposite side of the planet ... right? Nope, can't do that.
Just no effort to make the experience make sense in its setting.
Sandbox, Space, Guns, Puzzles and Quests. Everything I love in a game
at first the game looks great, but its very repetitive all the "worlds" look the same with different skins on it
Kinda wandered around for a bit at first but after getting to grips with the game it's been fun. A nice game if you want to relax and float around by yourself or with company once your ship is up and running.
A lot of folks recommend playing Starbound with mods, and i agree, playing with mods makes the game vastly better into one of my favorites ever, but the actual game itself is miserable, and the devs abandonment of it speaks volumes of their integrity as a studio. If you do want to get the game, get it on sale, the fraking universe mod makes the game a legitimate favorite, but the sheer fact that fraking universe so vastly outdoes the game itself is shameful, being outdone near 3/1 by a mod is ridiculous.
unmodded? 4/10 and thats being generous
modded? 9/10 one of the best experiances ive had with a game like it
hate that i cant reccomed the game itself, but at least it can act as an engine...
Learning about the development history of this game, it's shocking that it even came out at all. But god damn is it a mess. Combat is wonky, the progression is all over the place, and for the LOVE OF GOD WHY ARE ALL THE CRAFTING RECIPES A PAIN IN THE ASS! Look there's great potential with the mods, but after 70 hours I feel nothing with this game.
Borderless Window mode is a literal lie, the game does NOT function with Borderless Window, it just continues to perform as though fullscreen. Why give me the damn option if I have to install scripts for Windows to actually make it work as intended. Devs never fixed this, has been an issue since launch.
And I refuse to install 3rd party processes to actually make the game work as intended with this setting.
Best 15 dollars i've ever spent in my life. Not only did i find a new comfort game but this is basically Minecraft having a baby with No man sky who also had a baby with Terraria while being a distant cousin to Stardew valley!
My only complaint is the Shameful decision to NOT make a second game / or support and code the current one JUST TO go work on Wargroove. A boring turn-based game that cannot even compare...
Honestly? Game goes hard. I would recommend if you loved Terreria, sci-fi twists, story line based open world, and modding games. Its such a good canvas game to build and make whatever you want out of the experience. 10/10 love playing it.
nothing about this game sparks joy, both combat and movement feel weightless, a game like this should not have contact damage.
The incentive to explore is so low they built the main quest around forcing you to explore, which doesn't make it fun it makes it tedious!! Not like there's much to find out there.
there's a lot of potential under these half-baked ideas.
You either have the softest spot in your heart reserved for this game, or you just hate it:
be it for the development, unsatisfactory gameplay loop, or just something else.
I'd recommend this to fans of casual gaming or if it literally just interests you. Chances are you'll magically like it if it does, actually (look back at the first paragraph of my review).
A game I want to love (and have tried to multiple times) but overall a let down. The music, atmosphere, environment, and art are all fantastic. The building is also a stand out feature.
The Gameplay, Combat, Story, and Mining all are shockingly un-fun, which turns what should be an excellent co-op sandbox into a grind-fest at best, an just plain unpleasant to interact with at it's worst.
mid game without mods. with mods its stellar. buy and go nuts at the workshop immediately
Lost it's personality with the official release, sad to see. do not recommend, feels like a half baked version of terraria now
This game has every reason to become a great sandbox game on a par with "Terraria" and "Minecraft", but it didn't. Due to the internal management problems of the developer, this game was shelved and abandoned, and is entirely sustained by the enthusiasm of the player community. For someone who loves and yearns for outer space and at the same time feels sad and sorry for all the misfortunes happening in the world nowadays, this game is just like a metaphor for the contrast between the booming interstellar exploration in the late last century and the current declining situation——
“Why is it like this? We could have had a better world.”
Pretty neat game. Plenty of content, wish the main story is a bit longer and less monotonous on the investigation part. Very high replayability especially with mods.
I have 300 hours. I've 100 percented the game. I've played for years.
This is coming from someone who really wanted to give this game the benefit of the doubt:
The management of this studio doesn't deserve your time or money. They will never address the massive gaping whole in content and balancing this game needs. The modding scene has some extremely talented people - talented people who deserve to be working with better projects then this, and ones where the dev teams respect them and their work.
Play modded terraria instead. It's higher quality, larger, better balanced, doesn't use 'volunteer' work (a.k.a. unpaid labor exploited from vulnerable people), modders are treated with respect, and the devs actually care about their game - so much so that they have been releasing massive FREE 'final' updates one after the other for years now, and going back to top themselves since they care for their game and fans deeply. On top of all that, Terraria is half the price!
A game that guides you with quests, storyline and systems and mechanics and whatnot, but feels incredibly aimless at the same time.
A slightly worse version of terraria, it was fun for a few hours in co-op, but it isn't great single player.
This is a great game, but deeply flawed. That may seem paridoxical, but I shall explain.
Starbound, at its core, is Terraria in space, with a lot more guns, a lot of races to play as, and whole universe of procedural generation. Its a very good concept, and the game has amazing moments of awe, where you just stop and go "Wow." Its the most fun when you are just working your land, carving a little nest of your own in the large and unforgiving universe. It can be cozy, it can be exhilirating, it can be sad. Its got amazing bones, a mix of great soundtrack, great art, and awesome atmosphere.
But its just mediocre.
To explain, while the game does a lot good, its just a mess. Tons of features are incomplete or broken, many mistakes and bugs in basically every single feature ingame, and a story that at best is boring, and at worst detracts from the experience. Its so good, but its *so bad.*
I think I'll elaborate by explaining one of the main detractors from the experience: The Story. In isolation, the summary of the story is fine. It ticks a lot of the boxes for a "cosmic savior" trope. and generally doesn't sound super boring. In practice, the quests are annoying to complete due to the procedural generation sometimes just screwing you over by refusing to spawn structures necessary to complete the quests, and the dungeons are often clunky, confusing, and a rollercoaster of difficulty that ranges from "You can sit still and win" to "You can have maxed gear and it won't matter because the boss 2 shots you and its minions easily outpace your healing." The dungeons also don't allowing building. In a Sandbox game. You cannot make your own arena to fight any of the bosses. Its a frankly baffling decision, which is one of the biggest reasons for me, that the game doesn't surpass terraria or even minecraft in terms of bosses and story. Its *really* bad, and an addition that was completely unnecessary. The betas completely lacked a story until the very end, and from all the players I talked to at the time, the game was all the better for it. It put the focus on the player and their own little section of space. It also had a lot more unique QoL and general changes that most players agree was better.
Honestly, I would put this game in the ranks with minecraft. Games that *Can* be fun without mods, but you truly unlock a lot of the experience and fun with the game after adding a lot of mods that both fix existing issues and add new things. If Steam had a "Mediocre" rating, I would give it here.
Fun game with lots of things to see and do. Even after the main quest line has been completed there are plenty of mods that add more depth and fun to the game.
ahh yes tis great. especially when you download a mod that lets you use panzers.
Still mt favorite game after all these years of no updates, modding community really keeps this game going but they're all AMAZING mods
This game is easy but hard at the same time. Do /admin to become invincable. If you want to do suurvival but dont want the burden of eating and retrieving items, then chose casual mode when you create an character.
on the surface of it, its practically just Terraria, but bad.
currently, as of only 75 hours of playtime, i havent gotten below it, i havent dug any deeper then that, but i am sure that theres something More below this upper crust of "terraria but bad".
6.5/10
It's not terraria. It's not even close. the *only* similarity is the fact its a pixel art sidescroller. also, awesome game, would recommend.
Starbound is a sandbox adventure that feels like stepping into an infinite universe of possibilities. Developed by Chucklefish and released in 2016, this 2D procedurally generated space-exploration game combines the best elements of crafting, combat, and storytelling. With its pixel-art charm and vast worlds to explore, Starbound offers a galactic playground where your imagination is the only limit.
Whether you’re scavenging resources on an alien planet, building the home (or fortress) of your dreams, or unraveling the mysteries of ancient civilizations, Starbound is a game that invites you to make your own adventure.
Graphics and Style
Starbound’s pixel-art style is a visual treat, balancing retro charm with stunning detail. Every planet feels unique, thanks to the vibrant biomes, diverse flora and fauna, and atmospheric lighting effects. From lush forest worlds to scorching volcanic surfaces, each environment is lovingly crafted, making exploration a constant delight.
The character designs are equally delightful, with customizable avatars that represent a variety of species, each with its own lore and aesthetic flair. The art direction perfectly complements the game’s whimsical yet mysterious tone.
Gameplay and Mechanics
At its core, Starbound is about exploration and creativity. You’ll journey through a procedurally generated universe, hopping between planets to gather resources, discover secrets, and expand your capabilities. The freedom to play your way is Starbound’s greatest strength.
Exploration
Each planet is a new adventure, offering unique challenges, treasures, and environments. Some worlds are teeming with life, while others are desolate, yet rich in minerals and ancient ruins. The thrill of landing on an uncharted planet and wondering what lies beneath the surface never gets old.
Crafting and Building
The crafting system is deep and rewarding, allowing you to create tools, weapons, furniture, and more. Building your base — whether it’s a cozy cabin, an elaborate space station, or an underground laboratory — is incredibly satisfying. The game provides a wealth of materials and decorative items to make your creations feel truly your own.
Combat and Quests
Combat in Starbound is action-packed, with a variety of weapons ranging from melee swords to high-tech laser guns. Enemies are as varied as the planets themselves, from hostile wildlife to robotic guardians. The addition of randomly generated dungeons and missions adds a structured layer to the otherwise freeform gameplay.
The main storyline provides a compelling narrative backdrop to your galactic adventures, weaving together themes of discovery and ancient mysteries. However, the game shines brightest when you stray from the main path to create your own stories.
Multiplayer
Playing Starbound with friends elevates the experience to a whole new level. Whether you’re building a shared base, coordinating planet raids, or simply exploring together, the cooperative gameplay makes the universe feel even more alive. The ability to work on massive projects as a group or embark on spacefaring adventures with a crew is endlessly fun.
Sound and Music
The soundtrack is nothing short of phenomenal. Curtis Schweitzer’s compositions are a perfect blend of serene and adventurous, capturing the wonder of exploring the cosmos. The ambient sounds of planets — from rustling leaves to distant alien roars — immerse you further into the game’s universe.
Replayability
With its procedurally generated worlds and countless ways to play, Starbound offers near-infinite replayability. Each playthrough can focus on different aspects, from building and farming to combat and exploration. Mods from the community add even more content, ensuring there’s always something new to discover.
Drawbacks
While Starbound is an incredible experience, it’s not without its flaws. Some players may find the progression system grindy, especially when gathering specific resources. The procedural generation, while impressive, occasionally leads to repetitive environments. Additionally, the main story can feel secondary to the sandbox elements, which might not appeal to players looking for a tightly focused narrative.
Conclusion
Starbound is a love letter to exploration and creativity, offering a vast and vibrant universe that’s as fun to play as it is to simply exist in. It’s a game that rewards curiosity, whether you’re delving deep into the lore of alien civilizations, building the starbase of your dreams, or simply marveling at the diversity of the cosmos.
For fans of sandbox games, crafting, or interstellar adventure, Starbound is a must-play experience that invites you to forge your own path among the stars. Its charm, depth, and boundless opportunities for discovery make it a true standout in the genre.
Rating: 9.5/10
though the dev team did some shady shit in development, it's a cool game. the now entirely community driven sandbox planet hopper makes for an alright time killer, though only if modded at this point. the vanilla game feels quite bland, and i wish there would've been more added under a team that actually paid their workers, especially the underage ones.
it is very fun to blow through the intro by going out of your way to fully upgrade your gear before even entering the Floran caverns.
Great game.
Kinda reminds Terraria but still so original.
I know chuckle fish devs are like terribly underpaid among other things but this game is still good for what they could pump out and I honestly love it without mods you should give it a try. it is upsetting it could have been better then it already is because somethings do become tedious when they should stay fresh and cool but its good overall and you can make the best out of it.
It's fun. If you play with mods, you have more to do.
I played Starbound several times over the past few years but I never got past the library mission during those runs, but after sitting down and actually putting time into this game recently I made it further than I ever have before. And I must say that this game is on the same level as Terraria, it isnt just a clone. Starbound is so insanely cozy and such a super cute game, with a very fun storyline. Traveling the stars really gets the imagination going. LOVE LOVE LOVE this game!
its a nice and relaxing game you can build your own colony or just make your own place but i think there should be more bosses and harder enemies (but i doubt it)
🌟 Rating: 8.5/10 🌟
Fun adventures and discovery in the game, but it lacks diversity when spawning into the same type of planet which is floran. I wish we could spawn into more random planets when first entering the world. But overall, really fun open world adventure survival game!
Fun with endless creative possibilities in this universe, but can be long winded at times.
Definitely for long haul gamers.
