Like seriously. I’ve been playing janky survival craft open world games happily for over a decade and I just assumed polish wasn’t a think in these games. I’m having so much fun the last week playing this and being confused!
I tried this game on a random whim when it was mentioned in another game discussion and I am completely blown away by the level of polish and stability and depth to this game so far. It feels like if Velheim was put on steroids multiple times over and then tossed in some elements from Dragon Quest Builders and maybe some action games for the combat?
Currently level 9 and just having a lovely time exploring and knocking out random things and not really having any goals. I built out a ruined town for my base and that was so much fun to do! I’m excited when the base grows even larger than my current 6 NPCs.
Some questions please from a newbie if anyone can help me through:
- When do I get options for better tools and gear? I see sometimes NPCs start offering better gear but I don’t know what that’s based on. Is it character level?
- I stumbled into the Hollow Halls and spent way too much time dying before I realized it is probably meant to be a dungeon run by a party lol. Is it meant to be run over and over? Or do you run it at level 10-ish and then find a different dungeon later? are there other dungeons like this?
- Will I eventually unlock bigger magic chests? I currently have four and am having to make more, this feels inefficient but I don’t see options for bigger ones yet.
- Any other tips for just someone looking to enjoy the experience, maybe overlooked features newbies tend to miss? for example I haven’t touched farming cause it looks complicated but it might be a mistake. I also don’t understand how water works- my base says water is enabled but I dunno what that means.
