Planet Centauri Review (Artemislia13)
I've been following this game since I first bought it in EA many years ago and I'm very happy to see it has officially released. I first got this game as a fan of Terraria looking for similar games in the same genre. It definitely scratches that 2D sandbox itch but has a lot of very unique features that makes it stand out from the rest of the genre.
Some of these features include:
-Extremely in-depth custom magic system
-Capturing and leveling monsters pokemon style
-Breeding monsters to hatch the perfect monster pet
-Very unique weapon skill system, combined with an elemental damage system for powerful elemental combat skill
-Transforming into monsters
-A gear / mechanical energy system for special crafting
-A redstone type wire system for those interested (which i have yet to fully explore)
-Unique armor / class skills attached to each unique set of armor
-Gear leveling and rarity system which rewards both grinding for rare drops as well as leveling existing weapons so you don't have to discard a weapon you like when it gets out-classed by newer drops
All of this combined with the progression system featuring many biomes, countless dungeons and challenge rooms to explore, unique bosses and enemies to fight, and unique gear to discover and you have a fantastic game you can sink countless hours into.
There is also a welcoming and helpful community on the games official Discord server which the devs are super active on. I would recommend anyone who is interested in the game to join the Discord to ask questions and learn more.
Overall, I would definitely recommend, especially to anyone who loves 2D sandbox games with very unique and in-depth mechanics you can sink many hours into
PS. the end game area of this game is super cool and is a bit of a twist from the game up until that point, I've avoided mentioning it to avoid spoilers but it was both the most surprising and exciting part of the game for me
