What players say
An interesting idea that simply did not work out. If you want a game in the same style with elements of magic try terraria instead. If you like the sci-fi themes and don't care for magical elements try starbound instead. Both terraria and starbound have plenty of mods available to add content after finishing with a vanilla playthrough.
1 more review, not recommended
Have played on and off for a while, but since some form of 'update' unable to use the mining tools without physically moving the character around. Game is unlikely to ever be fixed.
