Starground

Unfortunately, can't currently recommend it. Pros: The movement and fighting mechanics feel great. As for the rest: the game needs more game. beatable in 5 hours. There are only 3 dungeons. Only the first has two floors. The other ones are single floor only. I killed the final boss about 10 times. The last 8 times in less than a second. The automation is kind of useless. You can only really craft the basic sword and everything else has to be found in the dungeons. The hub world feels anaemic. The shopkeepers sell mostly useless items and the quests they offer are fetch quests only. The only things worth buying: pistol barrel, bullet weapon, cheese and fishing rod (if you're into that) The only fetch quests worth doing are: deliver water (wow), and deliver metals. Not worth the current asking price.

amazing game - automation with a side of dungeon crawler probably wouldn't buy it for 11 pounds as there are better options at that point?? but for around a fiver its an amazing deal to keep you occupied for over 10 hours, with lots of content, and decoration. Graphics are satisfying and smooth, gameplay has a nice learning curve, and doesn't ever seem to come to a grindy stop, and dungeons feel fresh each time as they are always randomised - and music is calming.

Starground is a cute little automation game with dungeons. The automation part is very chill and addicting. It brings new challenges to the automation genre. Although it could be though out more. I enjoyed the dungeoning part less, I am missing bigger complexity in it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't do a good job. The game has an amazing soundtrack, good visuals and an interesting world to explore. And I am really looking forward to the full release.

Infinite no-risk resources. I can't ever recommend a factory game without either finite resources, or enemy scaling. It makes it not a factory game, but an idle clicker. Idle clickers are, and always have been, absolute garbage.

Good game, can't wait to see more updates.

Great game which brings together automation and combat in a unique way. Multiplayer support is always a great addition too!

Fun Addictive. just a great game. reminds me that simple mechanics can be used in complicated ways. I think both casual and hardcore players can enjoy it.
