Allumeria

I stumbled across this game via a YouTube video a while back. It seemed worth keeping an eye on and I'm glad that I did. Allumeria is a fusion of Minecraft and Terraria that, for me, has the perfect blend of Minecraft's simple coziness and Terraria's more engaging mechanics. Its a game that has that Minecraft look and feel, but mechanically feels a lot snappier and in depth. You don't need to click on a crafting table to use it, only standing next to one. Meaning if you line up all of your crafting tables you only need to open your inventory to use all of them at once. You do not need to craft stairs, slabs, fences, etc. as the game allows you to place basically any block you want as any form. You can also find paint rollers that change the color of blocks. It makes building a decent looking house far faster than it ever was in Minecraft. Tools do not lose durability, which makes cave exploring feel faster and more fun. There's a lot of different kinds of weapons and little items that can be found. Players only lose money on death, not their inventory. The game borrows accessories from Terraria, meaning you can directly upgrade your character with different buffs. It makes progression feel tangible and lets you customize how you want to play that much more. Villager NPCs are also here from Terraria. You need to house them in order to buy and sell items. I did not engage with the NPCs much, as I didn't really find it necessary to. It's still a feature I think is really fun though. I did find that the NPCs could randomly just disappear and I'd have to relocate them to the same house in order for them to disappear. They're definitely not finished. Also, again similar to Terraria, there's also loads of potions. Including a potion that returns you to your set spawn point. I cannot tell you how good it feels to go down into a large cave with a pickaxe that doesn't break followed by using a potion to go home when your inventory is full. It's so much less tedious. Potions can be crafted via stuff you get from farming, but I did not choose to do any farming since I got enough from caves and didn't feel like figuring out how to get a farm set up. There is also a circuit system similar to Redstone for those who enjoy that. I do not. The world is not infinite and there are three biomes in each one, each with their own dungeon and boss. You get to the highest armor tier you can before fighting a boss. The two biomes following the forest each have an ore that's stronger than the previous one. Progression is very straight forward if you played these kinds of games before. I didn't find the bosses too difficult, however I did find searching for the entrance to the snow dungeon to be very annoying. Allumeria is a game that feels very small, but very tight. And I really hope it stays that way. I really only think this game needs another biome or two, each with its own boss, and then just polish up and expand on what's already there. I feel like so many sandbox games have an overwhelming amount of content and are always expanding. Terraria has had like 2 or 3 "final" updates at this point and there's so much stuff in that game that makes it feel complicated and inaccessible. Minecraft is great but the game has expanded so much that it feels a lot more bloated. Hytale is also very promising, but that will also very likely become a much, much larger game over time. I find that Allumeria balances a sense of progression and being a sandbox very well, all while being very easy to grasp. I really hope the dev continues to maintain that balance and create a game that's far less over bloated than other games in the genre. It's early access, so it is buggy and not completely finished, but I do feel that I can in good faith recommend this to anyone who wants a new Minecraft alternative. I look forward to playing more as new updates release.

i wanna give a more detailed review but i've procrastinated on this long enough game good. pla y

This game is fantastic and I really hope it gets the attention and support it deserves so it can continue to a full release with additional content. I binged the available content with a group of 3 in multiplayer and after we got through the "Minecraft/Terraria but" jokes, we kept playing and every moment you could feel the developer's love for this genre, hoping to make their mark. After beating the last available boss we finally decided to turn in at 4AM and are excited to see what the devs have in store for the future. That being said there were two rather serious bugs in multiplayer I feel could throw people off the game, like a known issue where a client transferring items to an inventory and having the host open it could send all your hard earned items into the shadow realm. Requiring everyone to manually put items in chests one stack at a time made inventory management a slog and was honestly the only thing that made me want to put the game down and wait for a patch. Also we noticed that if you were changing the shape of blocks and one of the other people in the session switched their equipped item, it would reset your block selection back to default. I know there are warnings that multiplayer is buggy right now, and there were other more manageable syncing issues, I just wanted to highlight these specific ones as something that could turn away players and should absolutely be focused on as a high priority issue to keep people interested and sharing this gem with their friends. Keep it up, I will for sure be coming back for the 1.0 release party

Режим выживания в игре круче чем в майнкрафте

Я наконец-то получил 3Д версию Террарии. Игра не является тупым клоном Майнкрафта и предлагает много отличий и механик. Кроме того в игре очень приятный визуал и простой интерфейс. К тому же есть уже поддержка скинов, текстурпаков, переводов и мультиплеер. Да игра пока в раннем доступе но она очень классная и я жду ее полного релиза. Эта игра куда интереснее Хайтейла на мой взгляд.

Мне очень понравилась игра, Майнкрафт совмещенный с террарией это просто нечто! и еще, эта игра напоминает мне те игры пародии на майнкрафт на мобилах/планшетах, часто в детстве играл в такие игры:) А так игра очень хорошо сделана, много рецептов крафта, много предметов и много возможностей для фантазии можно сделать точку дома чтобы в твой дом могли приходить нпс с которыми ты можешь торговаться! из минусов (учёт что это еще ранний доступ) не ломаются инструменты/броня не тратиться уголь, при переплавке чего-либо когда набираешь в ведро воду ну или разливаешь, само ведро перемещается в совершенно другой слот а не в тот в который ты изначально положил его. нет выборов языков, надеюсь в скором времени добавят. А так я думаю что игре есть куда рости и у неё есть большой потенциал на успешный продукт в плане песочницы:) тем более за такую-то цену. Cоветую:)
