So I'm surprised how comfortable it is being perpetually underground in Core Keeper. Part of it is the charming art and animation, along with the dynamic lighting effects. The game begins in the gloom of the Core chamber, but place a few torches and clear out some dirt walls with a pickaxe, and soon the room is bathed in warm light.

feels like a dungeon crawler that you’re creating. You gather materials by mining square tiles, and for most of the game, you’re surrounded by walls that conceal explorable areas.

When you fought Glurch, you may have noticed a bunch of orange slime on the ground. This is not just an environmental hazard — these tiles cause enemies to spawn.

The patch introduces several balancing improvements. Bosses now drop at least one piece of equipment or a weapon.

, any equipped armor will take some durability damage. Any items you had in your inventory (but not on your Hotbar) will be collected in a tombstone marking where you died.

But beating bosses also drops good items, unlocks gear, weapons and other things that make it easier to explore and deal with randomly spawned enemies; the statues also act like a crafting workbench, each offering up 3 additional items to craft. Crafting and Items[edit]

Alternatively, you can also hunt down monsters in their natural habitat in specific biomes in Core Keeper, you can achieve this by building traps to catch the monsters.

This requires highly optimised play, making use of all the best available gear, consumables and skill tree talents. Or an extreme degree of caution and cheesing the bosses.

The third boss is a ridiculous jump in difficulty, though after crafting some life, defensive and offensive potions, he went down easily as well. None of these bosses felt particularly interesting to fight, rewarding to beat, or worth refighting (the Core Keeper Gameplay game allows you to for additional loot, but i found the loot to not be worth the time spent).

TL;DR: Core keeper is a game with potential, but with very shallow progression systems that can make it feel repetitive very quickly.

Customize your character’s appearance and choose from an array of powerful armor and unique outfits to suit the moment.

I really liked playing this game, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I would go mad if I have to play it with a Magic dmg or Summon class, or if I didnt change to Ranged with the endgame bosses.  

Using your Pickaxe, break up the wood logs surrounding the Core. Craft a couple of basic Chests from your inventory and place them so you can store excess items. Then craft a Basic Workbench and interact with it.
