Allumeria

great early minecraft / terraria vibes here. some polish is definitely needed but I can see this growing into an awesome game in a few years. overall worth the purchase price at the moment

I’ll be talking about this game from the perspective of someone who has played Terraria and Minecraft, including heavily modded versions of both. Warning: the detailed review contains spoilers. If I had to describe Allumeria in a few words, I’d say it’s a successful attempt to combine the best parts of two games: Minecraft’s visual style and some of Terraria’s mechanics. In my opinion, they work surprisingly well together here. I went into the game completely blind, knowing practically nothing about it other than that it was similar to Minecraft. I think games like this are best experienced that way, at least for the first playthrough. It played a huge role in my enjoyment: I genuinely liked figuring out what everything was, how things worked, and where I was supposed to go next on my own. For those who don’t want to read the whole review: for its current price, I highly recommend the game. Around 6–7 hours at a relaxed pace was enough for me to complete the entire game, get every achievement, and thoroughly enjoy the experience. Now, in more detail The game has its fair share of rough edges when it comes to world generation, balance, and certain mechanics. However, Allumeria is currently in active development, and considering what’s already there, the result is quite impressive. The combat system is currently extremely simple. I’d like to see it become more complex and varied, as well as see some improvements to the balance of ranged weapons. The game could also use more lively animations and better inventory management — especially after Terraria, the inventory feels rather clunky. World generation could use some work as well. I’d like the terrain to be less excessively hilly, the world size limit to be increased, and more plants and, of course, new biomes to be added. That said, the three biomes currently in the game are fairly well made and distinct from one another. BUT, BUT, BUT. Progression. This was the biggest issue for me. After a very strong start, the progression quickly becomes repetitive. The first boss, the first dungeon, the first meaningful pieces of gear, and preparing to venture into the next biome — all of that was fantastic. Exploring the game and gradually discovering new things was genuinely exciting. But after that, you start doing pretty much the same thing over and over again: you go mining, dig around, search for something, craft new items, and then almost immediately fight the next boss. Then the cycle repeats. I actually liked the bosses themselves. They differ both in how you summon them and in how the fights play out. The problem is that they’re fairly easy, so defeating them doesn’t feel as rewarding as it could. For example, I completed the entire game with only 100 HP because I had no idea that one of the plants could increase your maximum health. I barely used potions either. Even then, I finished the whole game without experiencing any serious difficulty with bosses or regular enemies. If I had known about the HP upgrades beforehand and actually made proper use of potions, I probably would have finished the game even faster. What the game deserves praise for The developer has already added quite a few nice features. There’s a simple built-in guide, which is something even much larger games sometimes lack. The artifacts are fairly well balanced, the potions are useful (although I really wish there was a night vision potion :)), and the progression system itself is a good idea that simply needs further development. I liked how the bosses differ from each other, both in the way they’re summoned and in the fights themselves. The dungeons are also pretty good, although they could definitely be more difficult and varied. Aside from the main progression, the game also has a number of mechanics related to building, gardening, and other smaller activities. They’re nice additions to the overall experience and deserve some praise as well. In conclusion I hope the project continues to be actively developed and expanded. In particular, I’d love to eventually see proper modding support. For sandbox games like this, mods can massively extend the game’s lifespan and give the community a huge amount of creative freedom. Allumeria definitely still has plenty of room to grow: progression, balance, combat, and world generation all need further work, and the game needs more content overall. But the foundation is already very solid. I’m glad I spent two evenings playing this game. At its current price, I definitely recommend it.

Allumeria вызывает приятное чувство дежавю. Если вы играли в Minecraft или Terraria, вы сразу почувствуете себя как дома, но с первых минут поймёте, что перед вами не клон, а самостоятельный проект со своим лицом. Официально Allumeria НЕ поддерживает русский язык. В магазине указано, что игра доступна только на английском и упрощённом китайском. Но я уже занимаюсь полным русификатором для Allumeria. на текущий момент готова полноценная версия перевода: интерфейс, диалоги, описания предметов, меню и подсказки. Чтобы вы могли полностью погрузиться в этот удивительный воксельный мир на родном языке. Смотрите ссылку на перевод в моем профиле или в руководстве к игре в Steam Что мне понравилось больше всего: 1) Продвинутые инструменты строительства: Это главная «фишка» игры. Вы можете менять форму любого блока на лету. Хотите стеклянную лестницу? Или забор из земли? Пожалуйста! Это даёт невероятную свободу творчества, которой нет в других играх жанра. 2) Полная RGB-система освещения: Вы можете создавать уютные тусклые хижины или яркие неоновые города, всё зависит от вашей фантазии. 3) Глубокий прогресс: В игре уже есть куча уникальных предметов, 3 босса, 3 данжа и 3 основных биома. При этом разработчик обещает добавлять новый контент в течение всего периода раннего доступа 4) Уютная атмосфера: В отличие от некоторых мрачных песочниц, Allumeria feels like a breath of fresh air — она яркая, дружелюбная и располагает к спокойному исследованию и творчеству.

Great game, cant wait to see how it develops as time goes on!

A lot of things I hated about minecraft are fixed in this game. I chopped a couple of trees and have plenty of resources to build a base, and then I don't need to craft stairs because I can simply change the block shape on the go. Crafting was simplified to be terraria-like, where you simply need to be around workbench and click once to craft something. However, this project needs funding and more sales to grow and get bugfixes and content. I recommend giving this game a try, this developer is doing a better job than microslop ever did.

First impression is really good nice looking simple game if you like minecraft etc you should enjoy this cant wait to see what else gets added along the way- impressed so far
