You can build a better backpack, but that would slow you down. There wasn't time to explore, nor any great desire to as none of the advanced crafting objects seem like they would make alleviate any of the busy work. This is not explained anywhere in the game, you have to look that up online. The one ranged weapon in the game I managed to build was the boomerang, which has limited uses and DAMAGES you on the way back if you don't "catch" it, which involves hitting the space key which may or may not work. You can't wear armor and a backpack at the same time, so you have to switch rapidly into armor whenever you have an encounter. Combat is not fun, it is mainly just clicking an enemy over and over, but you are so easily overwhelmed by more than one enemy or a moderately strong enemy that the main strategy is using hit and run tactics, which isn't very gratifying. The in game descriptions of objects you can craft are laughably vague. I had to read the wiki for hours to get a handle on it. You will not be able to figure it out on your own because it is not really intuitive. There is A LOT to the mechanics of this game. But if death is SO harsh that I don't even want to experiment, is that fun? Anyways I finally cave and look up the wiki. Now the developer's recommend is to not read the online wiki to preserve mystery. You begin to fear death, to the point where you don't want to interact with anything that isn't obviously safe. This is time consuming (partially because the animation of picking something which you have to do OVER AND OVER again is somewhat lengthy) and has to be repeated every time you die. You can also dig up grass and saplings to start to cobble a base together. The early game consists of picking twigs, berries, grass, and collecting wood. Most people will probably die of starvation at some point, they will die when they have their first monster battle without armor, and they will die at the completely arbitrary hound attack that occurs several hours into a playthrough. You will probably die immediately the first night not being told that not having a campfire leads to instant death. Dying is permanent which is made very obvious at the beginning of the game.
#DONT STARVE WIKI BACKPACK SIMULATOR#
The game is a survival simulator with heavy emphasis on exploration and crafting. You are given a menu on the left of objects you can craft and the materials required, which are not many to start with. There are three meters, health, hunger and sanity, but these are not explained. You are given absolutely no information on the mechanics of the game. You are placed in the middle of a survival scenario with a short cinematic and no guidance with interesting looking objects to interact with. The music is quirky and gets you in the mood. A dark, bleak Tim Burton-esque cartoony look. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's still worth checking out, but keep in mind of it's pacing. This game suffers from that long grind that I'm not a big fan of. I would much prefer playing something like FTL which makes me feel like I'm getting a lot more done after playing a short period of time, and I don't mind starting a new game with FTL. If the game started off with some items, like a pick ax, and progressed faster, it would be much better. I can put in a few hours, finally feel like I'm getting somewhere, and then just like that I can die from monsters or something, and that makes the game feel tedious. For a game that's supposed to be a time-waster and meant to be played multiple times, it progresses very slowly, and I find that a big issue. Death is permanent, so if you die you have to start a new game. The insanity meter is interesting because if forces you to do different things otherwise crazy things happen. You go around gathering resources to craft items, build, feed yourself, and make sure you don't go insane. For a game that's supposed to be a time-waster and meant to This game is similar to Minecraft's survival mode. This game is similar to Minecraft's survival mode.
