Starbound - The Sandbox Stalwart from Chucklefish

British developer and publisher Chucklefish released Starbound in 2013, a sandbox title that is still one of the most popular representatives of its genre today. If you're looking for a cheap Starbound key, you'll find it on Keyfuchs.

Starbound thrusts players into a world where the Earth has been destroyed by a cataclysm. Initially aboard a space station, the player enters a ship and uses it to venture out into the vastness of space in search of a potential new home.

After finding a survivor of the cataclysm, the player's ship then orbits a planet that is waiting to be explored by the player. The planets are entered through a portal where a quest giver is located, who provides the first tasks for aspiring adventurers and explorers. With the said quests, the action of Starbound is continuously advanced. In addition to the main story, there are numerous optional missions that unlock additional rewards.

At the beginning of the adventure in Starbound, it is first about creating your own hero and accessing different visual elements such as hairstyles or seven individual races. After the tutorial, the game opens and offers the opportunity to move freely through space with your own spaceship to explore other planets.

The different planets are made up of predetermined structures such as dungeons. Randomly generated elements such as biomes or landscapes provide the necessary variety.

Monsters roam all planets and drop pixels (the game's currency) when they die, which can be invested in numerous items and resources at the merchants. In this way, the players gradually improve their equipment, penetrate deeper into space and discover new worlds, which in turn can be explored and developed. Always in search of a potential new home.

Those who do not want to take on the search for a new home alone can join forces with other players both offline and online thanks to the cooperative multiplayer component. Smaller PvP elements are also offered in the world of Starbound, so that multiplayer fans should also get their money's worth.
