What players say
Necesse is a top down sandbox game that mixes Terraria style progression with light colony management. You explore a randomly generated world, fight bosses, mine, craft, and build your own settlement with NPCs who can take care of the boring stuff for you. One of the coolest things about the game is the amount of easter eggs hidden throughout the world. There are little nods to other games like Valheim, Core Keeper...

Top down Terraria with its own identity. Terraria is my most played game ever so to have this game is such a refreshing experience. The crafting, the quests which serve as a tutorial really help take away anything that may feel overwhelming. Awesome game!!
first thing I want to mention, is that whole interface is really painful to look at for more than 30 minutes. Second thing, and the biggest one. This game is just a copy of terraria and rimworld, while I was playing I heard a lot of terraria sounds, terraria ideas and desings. For example, the "snow queen" and attacks are fully stolen from terraria, and desing is just the same. I feel like recent update was...
