“If I could get some hoverpads I could fly over the enemy, but I can only craft two, and if one is hit and blown off… It’s over.” Oh yea, did I mention it’s a permadeath game? Deeeelicious. I am constantly in search of the next easy coal seam, and on the lookout for the next enemy looking to end my little craft’s existence. It never fails to offer that “just one more turn” feeling that all games strive to create. The crafting of weapons, and the thought of that next unlock kept me playing this game for hours on end. Maneuvering your craft is as easy as you make it, and while I feel the combat could use some work, the prospect of it doesn’t scare me away from heading out to gather further from home. I enjoy the dynamic placement of the parts, although there has been a time or two that I’ve pulled the wrong block away and turned my whole vehicle into just a heap of blocks and weapons. Still, some out-of-place music won’t deter me from becoming the ultimate robot master!Īside from the visuals, the gameplay is relatively good too.
A robo-battle over an outpost on an alien planet doesn’t exactly make me think of banjos and guitar, but that’s what is delivered. The graphics are a cartoony sort of sci-fi that holds together quite well to create a great aesthetic, though I will say the combat music feels somewhat out of place. Even if you don’t read a single instruction, the game is laid out in a way that feels intuitive, and you’d probably be able to figure it out solo with just a few minutes of clicking around. At no point did I feel the least bit overwhelmed by the information offered to me. Brevity is levity, even in video games and I think they nailed that much. There’s a refinery to refine items, fabricator to uhh… fabricate them. Receiver to offload items, delivery cannon to send items to Earth in exchange for cash. The tutorial is basic, but it is exactly what it needs to be. Exactly how awesome is it? Let’s find out as we check out more of Terra Tech.

Should you defeat the alien tank, feel free to scavenge any parts that weren’t blown to smithereens in the fray, and use them to make your own ship bigger, faster, stronger. You cruise the landscape searching for resource nodes to blast apart and take back to base… If you venture far enough you’re sure to bump into an alien ship intent on sending you packing back to Earth.
It’s an amazing mix of survival, crafting, building, and combat. As I was digging through the Steam Store, I came across a demo for Terra Tech… On a whim, I decided to give it a try, and my entire world was electrified.
It all really grips me in a way I can’t fully explain. The building, the crafting, the military tactics involved in the combat, the tooth and nail struggle for survival. Happy New Year friends! Looking back on 2014, I must admit that two of my most played games were Rust, and Robocraft.
