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.

**Mon avis sur Starbound en 2026** Même en 2026, Starbound reste un excellent jeu pour les amateurs d'exploration, de construction et d'aventure en 2D. Son univers est vaste, les planètes sont nombreuses et il y a toujours un vrai plaisir à découvrir de nouveaux biomes, fabriquer son équipement ou construire sa propre base. Le jeu offre une bonne durée de vie, surtout si vous aimez prendre votre temps pour explorer et créer. Le multijoueur fonctionne toujours et la communauté est encore présente, notamment grâce aux nombreux mods qui permettent de renouveler l'expérience. Certains mods ajoutent tellement de contenu qu'ils donnent presque l'impression de jouer à une nouvelle version du jeu. En revanche, il faut être honnête : le développement officiel semble à l'arrêt depuis plusieurs années. Si vous espérez de nouvelles mises à jour majeures ou du contenu inédit, vous risquez d'être déçu. De plus, après plusieurs dizaines d'heures, certains aspects du jeu deviennent répétitifs, notamment l'exploration de planètes qui finissent parfois par se ressembler. Malgré cela, Starbound reste un jeu que je recommande. Il possède une ambiance unique, une bande-son apaisante et une grande liberté qui donnent envie d'y revenir de temps en temps. Pour son prix, surtout lorsqu'il est en promotion, il offre largement de quoi s'amuser pendant des dizaines, voire des centaines d'heures. **Ma note : 8,5/10.** Ce n'est peut-être plus un jeu suivi activement par ses développeurs, mais il reste une excellente expérience, en particulier avec les mods et si vous appréciez les jeux de type sandbox et exploration.

I don't know how I got this many hours 'cuz I sure as hell didn't play it for this long. That aside, only play this game if you are a big terraria fan because it seems more like terraria in space than its own game. Competent though and I would recommend getting on sale like I did.
Gioco molto bello, con una colonna sonora eccezzionale. Se amate rilassarvi o combattere (so che insieme fanno strano) provatelo.
mod de sexo!!!!!!!!!!
Has an a bit of an acquired taste, but good overall.
eu fui fuzilado por pinguins. 10/10
it is a shame this silly game is pretty much deceased, but it's very cute and fun, i have a lot of memories playing it with my friend and i'm happy i could have that. i will keep this silly game in my heart for a while
这游戏真的很好玩,真的很可惜。这个公司真的该给MOD作者磕一个。600小时依然觉得神中神
It is a great game and i love it. You can have an adventure or you can build a cool house. And it's free so anybody can get it. 10/10 game no doubt. Amazing story.
