    How would you describe starbound? Me, I would say Pokemon mixed with terraria mixed with space travel

    Hmm. I don't see how it is like pokemon, wanna explain? :p
    I would describe it as a relaxing, but also exiting game that lets you travel to worlds you never saw before and it makes you feel free and also has nice music :3

    I would describe it as this.
    Know Minecraft? Terraria is like that but in 8-bits 2-D scroller more focused on action.
    Now Starbound is like that, but more onto character growth, colonization and on 16 bits

    IN SPACE!!!

    But people never used guns and melee weapons and killed everyone in Pokemon... They mainly used Pikachu's and Charizard's ^_^

    But for me I would describe it as relaxing, but its got its action moments. So its like an action movie in a way. Its got the dramatic bits trying to set up a colony or upgrade your ship, and the actiony bits where you shoot multiple aliens with a shotgun. Or is that just me?

    Unfinished indie game. Better than it was before, but it still has quite a long way to go.

    A game that I enjoy, and really hope becomes all it can be, but also one that I frequently feel... not disappointed, but dismayed, perhaps.
    I like where the game is going, but I'd still do it differently if it were me making it. On the plus side, Starbound's modding scene is amazing, and I'm doubly amazed at how dedicated the community has been with it.

    I was totally obsessed with Terraria for a while and a friend suggested Starbound to me, so whenever I was asked by my Steam friends what Starbound was, when I first started out playing it I would affectionately refer to it as "space Terraria". And if they didn't know what Terraria was, I pretty much summed it up as "2D Minecraft with more stuff" :p

    I will note that I've played a LOT more Starbound now, and have more recently referred to it as "space Terraria with SO MUCH MORE STUFF AND SO MANY THINGS TO DO AND OMG GET THE GODDAMN GAME"

    There are hundred thousands of words in the english language alone... Yet I need only 3 word from a different language to describe it.

    Langeweilig und schwachsinnig.
    Boring and bland.

    Still after the update it feels like this :/

    inb4 edgy. of course you see it this way, 1.0 isn't even out yet lol.
    but seriously, it seems most like a space exploration/terraforming/adventuring game.
    OR, Terraria in SPEHSS.

    Boring and bland is still a valid way to describe the game, unfinished or not.

    It's like Terraria... but good and in space. (hated Terraria and only came to Starbound when a friend begged me to play with him.)
