Astral Terra

ATTENTION, REMBOURSEMENT STEAM IMPOSSIBLE >> le jeu agit comme un virus, il reste ouvert en tache de fond meme si vous le fermez, donc sauf si vous redémarrez l'ordinateur il vous sera impossible de demander un remboursement, vous aurez obligatoirement dépassé les 3 heures requises pour ça. c'est ce qui me marque plus de 100 heures de jeu alors que je ne l'ai testé que pendant trois ou quatre heures environs. Jeu médiocre, les images pour nous le faire acheter étaient jolies, mais en fait, ils n'ont travaillé que sur ces images depuis 2 ans, jamais sur le jeu. -Pratiquement jamais de mises à jour. -Controles complêtements inadaptés qui rendent le jeu injouable (vous regardez a droite ou a gauche avec les touches q et d, et vous devez ramasser une a une le peu de choses que vous farmez avec la souris en plaçant celle ci au bon endroit sur l'objet sinon vous ne pouvez rien faire , chose impossible sauf si vous etes un extra terrestre). -Le terraforming et les constructions buguent et le jeu n'est qu'une suite de crashs incessants. (pour info j'ai une tres grosse config et tourne en épique sur tous les autres jeux). -J'ai eu beau me forcer, afin de découvrir au fil des mois les évolutions de ce soit disant jeu, je n'y ait trouvé aucun plaisir. Bref passez votre chemin, gardez votre argent et achetez autre chose si vous voulez vraiment jouer!

Astral Terra has an interesting blend of an open world fantasy RPG and traditional survival game elements. It might be a bit rough around the edges at the moment, but the core gameplay is there. Terraforming the environment is especially a great mechanic. Considering the game is still in Early Access, I think I've gotten my money's worth. The devs are pretty active with the community, which is always great to see. I expect we'll get a handful of updates before the end of the year :)

[b]Review Written on Monday, May 30th, 2016[/b] [h1]Review[/h1] Astral Terra is a RPG/sandbox hybrid, drawing from games such as Minecraft and including classic RPG elements such as leveling, character races and customisation, and spell learning/casting. Visually impressive, a move away from many other crafting/sandbox titles, Astral Terra features fantastic procedurally generated environments - which can be changed and morphed using one of the main gameplay mechanics - terraforming. This brings a unique gameplay style to the game, setting it apart from other sandbox and RPG titles. The game is still fairly early in development, but seemingly has a lot of potential. While the £11 price tag my be steep for the game in it's current state - the price tag would be about right for a fully fledged game. The development team seem to be actively listening to community feedback and implementing changes frequently. Definitly one to watch.

Well, you'd think since the #1 focus of this game is terraforming, that aspect would get the most attention to make sure it's fun to use, easy to do, and control. It's horrific, tedious and stupid, for no apparent reason. It's just... weird. If they' fix it to make terraforming make some damn sense in how it's done, and easy and fun to do the thing might have potential. It's been this way since I first joined it and it hasn't gotten better in that aspect. Why? Makes no sense.

the game need a lot of work but even with all those negative reviews the developers continue to update the game, so only for the courage to keep working on this game i give them a possitive review!!!

Astral Tera is a really amazing game and terriforming makes it unique among many other survival or building games ive played. this game has more potential than most other prealpha games ive playing over my life and i believe this game is worth it. I know there have been very many negitive reviews to this game and you should to understand its in very early stage of prealpha. there are a lot a bugs and probably many more to come during its rearly stages. sometimes its been hard to play the game with bugs but if you get past them its a lot of fun. this game needs supporters. it needs people not to just try it out and then wait for updates. it needs a strong community willing to play through them and report them. there is only one dev working hard on this game and needs our help. If you buy this game then please help the developer in this game. if you are not willing to stick it out then i would recomend waiting till the beta or full release.

[b]Review Written on Sunday, May 15th, 2016[/b] [h1]Review[/h1] My review will take into account that this game is in ALPHA and therefore there are still lots of bugs to be dealt with and a lot of game features to be added. The good news is that if you are the sort of person that likes to make suggestions and see them implemented then this is a good game to choose. The developer is very approachable and adds regular updates of users suggestions to the game on a weekly basis. I wont lie to you. There are a lot of bugs and at the moment and there is not much to do apart from building objects, Terraforming and exploring the infinite world. The terraforming element to the game is interesting and has promise but I believe it is not yet stable in its current state and you will often find yourself stuck underground. The terraforming tool is a big colourful cube which appears in front of you and can be moved upwards and downwards and closer or farther away. It digs into the ground and you can form tunnels which go downwards as far as you like. When the tool is perfected I can see this being a great way of building tunnels and passageways underground. Currently I found the tool difficult to use accurately and that is something the devs will need to improve on to really make this game stand out. The building elements to the game are quite good as they stand and you can easily build structures to your heart's content. The game does include combat and magical spell elements but these are in early development and at the moment any creatures you encounter are easy targets. You can create your own worlds and name them and create passwords for your friends to join. I can see this game being a really good game in the future, it just depends whether you want to jump on board and ride the journey with them. Be warned that in this state you will be joining the fun right at the start and I imagine there's a long way to go so don't expect a finished game yet. In conclusion, I cant really recommend the game in its current form but it is in an ALPHA state so that is to be expected. Can I see promise in the game? Yes I can, and therefore I would recommend it to anyone who likes to get involved and make suggestions that if worthy will be implemented quickly. I guess this is why Steam releases games in ALPHA states so that users can mould the game and help develop it. I have seen first hand that my suggestions and my friends ideas were included in updates within the week so if this excites you then I would say go for it! [h1]Rating:[/h1] 6.5/10 [h1]Pros:[/h1] [olist] [*]Devs listen to your ideas and implement them quickly [*]An infinite world for you to play around in and the terraforming tool could be very promising [*]Multiplayer and single player modes included and you can create your own worlds which are password protected.

Astral Terra feels like Minecraft and World of Warcraft got married and had a child. Since the game is on Alpha, there are some bugs and glitches here and there, but it is a very promising game. For people who like to just explore and level up, it's there. For those who like to create things, it's there as well. The graphics looks very good and the artwork as well. It looks like that the team responsible for the game is updating it on a regularly basis, showing the players what they have on schedule to improve it, that's why I highly recommend this game. They have a very good relationship with the public, they hear what's need to improve and they do it, so, the game will probably be fully released very soon, I will stay tuned for that!
