You need to keep on top of health, hunger, and sanity, and there’s no instructions on how to do this outside of the obvious “eat food” and “don’t get hit”. You get resources by harvesting them from the world, craft them into items, use them to harvest more resources that then get turned into new items to help you live longer. There’s no “go here do this” to the game, nothing pointing you in the right direction. The main issue many might have with Don’t Starve it that you need to make your own goals. Don’t Starve is loaded with content, but it requires a motivated player to get to it.
There’s lands to explore, a giant network of caves underground, monsters of all shapes and sizes, tons of resources if only you can figure out how to both collect use them best, and, if you can find it, an Adventure mode to provide a bit of plot to counterbalance the free-form Survival mode. It kept interest up by being constantly updated with new features and plenty of secrets, growing from its initial impressive size to a huge epic of carving out a life in a hostile land, if only you can manage to avoid the many endless ways death can cut the adventure short. Probably.ĭon’t Starve originally came out on PC and created a solid fan-base for itself by being a really fun survival/crafting game with a humorous gothic-lite style.
The unforgiving lands of Don’t Starve have killed me again, but next time will go better. Turns out practice makes dead, and I’m all out of sacrificial altars for revival. That didn’t go well but practice makes perfect, and it seems like a nicely powerful weapon so obviously the smart thing to do is use it again as quickly as possible. Unfortunately it also comes back and smacks me in the face, knocking my health down to just above nothing. Tossing it at a crow nets a black feather, useful in a crafting recipe for… something. I’ve never gotten to use a boomerang before, though, so the first thing to do is find something to chuck it at. Charcoal for a boomerang, spider web for a bug net, spider organs and ash for healing salve, and general scavenging to keep food supplies from draining too low will fill up the new day nicely.Ī quick stroll north, carefully circumventing the robots patrolling an area I don’t have weapons strong enough to survive venturing into yet, and I find the skeletal corpse of an adventurer who died with his boomerang, which is not only a very helpful item but also frees up the resources I’d already gathered for other things. The dark night has given way to a clear morning and I’ve been toiling over the fire to cook up food and spending a little time with the alchemy engine to get a shopping list of parts, because keeping busy is a good way to preserve sanity while waiting for the dawn to come. It’s a lovely day to go for a walk through the forest.
