Dig or Die

[h1]Comentario Analítico: "Dig or Die"[/h1] Dig or Die es un pequeño híbrido entre la exploración y construcción lateral de Terraria y los fundamentos de un Tower Defense, pues en su mayoría iremos explorando un escenario procedural y destructible mientras que por la noche habrá que proteger nuestra base de una serie de oleadas de enemigos a las que atacar ya sea por armas manuales o torretas colocables. A esto se suma un sistema de fluidos relativamente complejo (Para sus estándares) que acumulará líquidos tras la lluvia y un sistema de peso y estabilidad de estructura, pues si no tenemos en cuenta el layout de nuestra base, el techo y los pilares caerán si no lo sujetamos o no lo dotamos de los cimientos pertinentes. Es así que Dig or Die se hace de una identidad propia, en lugar de ser otro ripoff de Terraria que poco o nada aporta al género. Junto a un amigo lo compramos en Julio del 2015 cuando estrenó su primer iteración en Early Access, véase la 0.1, con el propósito ya no sólo de jugarlo sino también de ver el progreso de un proyecto independiente recién estrenado y en sus facetas más tempranas; Fue un experimento para nosotros, y vaya que dio frutos. Dig or Die acabó convirtiéndose en algo mucho más complejo de lo que era en aquél entonces. ¿En conclusión? Un muy original título de exploración y acción de la escuela de Terraria que supo administrar y jerarquizar sus prioridades para no excederse en ambiciones más allá de lo que un proyecto así de precario se pueda permitir.

Dig or Die is one of those games that slips under most people’s radar but ends up eating hours of your time. It’s a mix of survival, crafting, and base-building inside a fully destructible world. You crash-land on a hostile planet, and everything tries to kill you. The twist is that you can’t just build anywhere and relax. The world reacts to you, and every night creatures come for your base. Gravity, water flow, and structure weight all matter, so there’s actual physics behind how you build. The best part is how every system connects. You need to explore for new materials, plan defenses, and manage your resources smartly while watching your terrain literally change from rainfall or explosions. Combat feels surprisingly tight for a 2D builder, and the crafting progression pushes you to keep improving instead of grinding the same loop. Still, there are rough spots. The difficulty spikes can be brutal, especially early on, when the nights get overwhelming. The interface also takes a bit of getting used to, and there’s minimal guidance. You mostly learn by dying and figuring things out. Once you master how things work, though, it becomes incredibly rewarding. The world design and physics make it stand out from most survival sandbox games. It’s creative, challenging, and full of those moments where you’re proud your crazy base design actually held up against a massive siege. If you like games that mix exploration, craft, and strategy with real consequences, this one’s worth picking up.

Great game! Love the tower defense style while being a building and mining like Terraria. My only complaint is that all the achievements are for solo play.

I usually like this kind of game, but this is just...boring. There is a huge world with not a lot in it, and having to retreat back to your base every night is just tedious. It's trivial to make an invincible kill-box and stand behind it. I fight with the water more than anything else.

A surprisingly enjoyable game! Escaping a hostile planet being the ultimate goal, it combines combat, exploration, foraging, hunting, mining and crafting and involves nightly monster raids that only escalate according to what kind of monsters the player has hunted so far. All monsters can dig through terrain, so you normally have to build an open base that funnels and cuts them down with automatic defenses as they approach you. It is easy to become overwhelmed on higher difficulties, so it is generally important to plan a bit ahead and be cautious to take control of the escalation. There are many things to like about the game, but I would especially point to a unique mechanic - the frequent and torrential downpours - which affect the game in several interesting ways. They impact vegetation growth, enemy spawns, player movement and exploration, and they require you to think about proper drainage for your bases and the paths leading up to them, for several reasons (like preserving monster pathfinding to avoid destructive behavior). The rain can also soon enough be harnessed for electricity production, and while it seems fairly simple, I've had plenty of fun figuring out the most optimal and secure hydrodam design, something that depends quite a lot on where you build it, especially relative to your base and the paths that monsters take to reach you. I've also spend a very decent amount of time both in survival and creative mode building the "ultimate", most efficient (and beautiful!) end-game defense base, one that perfectly guides the monsters towards their goal and expedites them in timely fashion. Incorporating the space rocket into the design is non-trivial, and the automatic defenses will eventually be tested on their ability to protect it entirely on their own for several minutes! It's an all-around fun challenge. ([spoiler]Don't let the rocket crash into any of the floating islands! ><[/spoiler]) Using the recoil of certain weapons as a mobility tool is both risky and fun. There is plenty utility and uniqueness to many of the weapons that you gradually unlock, while the end-game weapons are simple but enjoyable to use. The weapon turrets also have subtle properties that are worth paying attention to (like damage type, trigger/effect range differences, knockback and visibility to monsters). A definite, weak point of the game is the somewhat glitchy monster pathfinding, which can be rather frustrating to deal with. For example, monsters tend to struggle to approach a base from below even when there are platforms, so they can easily end up carving out a massive cavern underneath as they continue their attack, and they will linger around even after the night has ended, which is a pain to deal with (and it wastes precious time). Eventually, I figured out how to shape the landscape and design my bases to take control of their erratic behaviour, and that actually ended up being kind of fun in its own way. I could speak on other aspects of the game as well, but in short, I think it is a pretty good game with fun mechanics and well thought-out progression, and maybe only one significant flaw. Recommended!

I wish there were more games like these. The weight and physics of the water, lava, and blocks puts this game in a league of its own. The automation combined with night hordes makes it pretty exciting and really pushes you to get electricity working so you can use teleporters to get more things done before night falls. Ores and resources are strategically placed across the different biomes with their own unique enemies which adds to the fun of exploration. Using a shotgun to propel yourself through the sky with speed while jetpacking feels so good! i've instantly killed myself so many times by shotgun jetpacking into walls and ceilings. No regerts. My only gripe is this game has spoiled me and i'm now on the lookout for something similar that I'm not sure exists. A Sci-fi open world crafter builder boss hunting monster crawling horde nighting fully destructible world that revolves around physics and harnessing the power of water to power turret defenses while speedy shotgun momentum jetpacking in a frantic spree to escape the planet in a rocket ship.

A faire entre amis, vraiment très cool. Mécanique ultra efficace, j'ai, par deux fois, passé d'excellents moments.

Опуская мат, сказать можно не многое. Игра совершенно пустая и бессмысленная. Рецептов крафта мало, прогресс растягивается максимально как сопли разработчика, не ведя ни к чему. Водяная электростанция зачем? Чтоб ее установить и привести в работу, нужно мудиться уйму времени...а толку с этого нет. Физика в игре просто отстой. Жидкостная система хуже физики в игре. Строительство - просто забудьте. Мое мнение - игра не стоит ни своих денег, ни потраченного на нее времени.

I remember first playing this game and being very lost. Even after having completed this twice, I just know that going back in after a long time, I will recall none of what's in the game and be stumped again.
