What players say
First time I beat this game back when I was in middle school. Then I came back and beat it again right before graduating from college. Truly an amazing game, fun, and incredibly nostalgic <3
Enjoyed this game quite a bit. It was unfortunate it didn't have online co-op but I believe the second one does? It's worth getting the game just for the humor.
A brilliantly addictive, cartoonish sandbox that turns the stress of survival into pure, unadulterated fun. The original Crashlands is an absolute masterclass in how to make a crafting-survival game that is light on frustration and impossibly heavy on fun. You play as Flux Dabes, an intergalactic galactic delivery trucker who gets stranded on the alien planet Woanope after a floating head named Hewodokoos blows up...
