About
In Starbound, you create your own story - there’s no wrong way to play! You may choose to save the universe from the forces that destroyed your home, uncovering greater galactic mysteries in the process, or you may wish to forego a heroic journey entirely in favor of colonizing uncharted planets.
Settle down and farm the land, become an intergalactic landlord, hop from planet to planet collecting rare creatures, or delve into dangerous dungeons and lay claim to extraordinary treasures.
Discover ancient temples and modern metropolises, trees with eyes, and mischievous penguins. Make use of hundreds of materials and over two thousand objects to build a sleepy secluded cabin in the woods, a medieval castle, underwater arcade, or even a space station.
Starbound has been built from the ground up to be multiplayer and easily moddable. You have the tools to make the universe your own and modify the game to suit your play style - add new items, races, planet types, dungeons, and quests - the possibilities are limitless.

Returned from 2018 to be reminded of why I just cannot like this game. Its beginning must be one of the worst ways to get into the game, where you blindly get into doing things without knowing critical things that matters. Such as HUNGER and how to just make some basic things for food and planting seeds. I'd have to look it all up online and that's just not how I want to play a game. I want the game to teach me that at the start, when it is also a very important thing to know about. Start is too vague from what would have been useful to know about. Shouldn't handhold players - unless they're new to gaming - but there's not even basic tutorials for the things that are important.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Спустя десять лет решил почитать отзывы в стиме под Starbound. Увидел абсолютно нелепые обзоры под ней о том, что мало контента и плевок в фанатов как выпуск виниловой пластинки. Ребят, вы серьёзно?! Типам неинтересен проект на данный момент. У них в приоритете другая игра в разработке. То что они перестали что-либо делать с игрой не делает разработчиков плохими. Она вышла 10 лет назад! Я покупал её прям на релизе за 300 рублей! Проходил 30 часов! По такой длительности сейчас игры и за косарь рублей редко купите. Местами игра может показаться сыроватой, но за такую цену жаловаться, что игра имеет мало контента это прям насколько нужно быть зажравшимися? По поводу виниловой пластинки. Уважаемые игроки, сколько из вас готовы побежать покупать виниловый проигрыватель ради саунда этой игры? Я не уверен, что даже один такой окажется. Под юбилей просто сделали скромный шмот под игру, потому что она оказалась успешной. Пластинка останется как лимитрованный сувенир. Ещё раз скажу, никто не обязан вам выпускать на постоянке контент в игре. Разрабы, удачи вам в будущих проектах!
This game has overall been a huge disappointment. Should have actually taken care of your game and : - Optimized the performance (it still run like ♥♥♥♥ on a good pc) - Added new content (it could have been as good as terraria but you somehow managed to f it up too) update the game properly or never show your faces ever again
Its worse terraria.
Terraria в космосе. Ну а если серьёзно, то игра офигенная, и незаслуженно забытая. Тебе открыт целый космос (пускай и из похожих планет), исследуй не хочу. А с модами всё ещё сильнее раскрывается! Короче, советую любителям Сай-Фай и пикселей.
You’re forced to fly to a million identical planets, mine tons of colored dirt, and complete "fetch three lumps of coal" style quests. The story is tedious, and the game is unplayable without mods because the entire experience boils down to mind-numbing grinding and endless inventory management. It was interesting for the first 20 hours, but after that, it was nothing but a grind.
It's so bad
In my personal opinion, better than terraria, both amazing games, but this is just better in my opinion, I love it so so so much, very fun story, very fun mechanics, cool concept, fun to build
Great game ! Such a shame they abounded it, but i understand the decision after what happened Anyway even if game is no more developed, mods still make the game really fun to play. For such small price (especially on sales) is worth to buy and give a try !
