Enchanting with its vibrantly designed landscapes, Astroneer provides a whole range of possibilities of how to interact with the surrounding environment. This sandbox adventure game features a procedurally generated world, where all the planets and moons are built from voxels. Each fragment of their surface can be traversed and deformed by your character.
Gameplay
The world has an open structure, allowing you to travel from one celestial body to another. Developed with the well-known Unreal Engine 4, Astroneer features a characteristic art style, crafted from texture-less environments, conceptualized by artist John Liberto. Using the mechanics known i.e. from Minecraft.
Find your luck in outer space
The core aim of the game is to expand your fortune, while exploring subsequent planets, moons or satellites. Remember, however, about the dangers lurking around the corner. You are one of the daredevils, who decided to seek their fortune outside earth. Before you will come back rich, you will have to reveal the secrets of extinct civilizations and conquer the unknown. Each celestial body has its own characteristics, taking into account various gravity, atmosphere, available resources and different forms of life.
Explore beautiful worlds
Therefore explore carefully, build wisely and enjoy exploiting vulnerable resources from planets and satellites, which you can sell afterwards or use them in the special crafting system in order to create or develop your objects. You will find out that you can build your own devices and tools, as well as vehicles and whole bases, starting from simple structures designed to provide a spot to rest, ending on mini cities. Be careful not to get too engaged, as you may forget to check up your oxygen level.
