Play as Flux Dabes, a galactic delivery truck driver whose latest shipment gets interrupted by a megalomaniacal alien named "Q" who tears her ship to pieces looking for useful tech. Crashlanded on Woanope, you must fight, tame, craft, quest, bossfight, and adventure your way to domination of all the things so that you and JuiceBox, your trusty sidekick/supervisor/robotic cargo palette, can send a message to the Bureau of Shipping and get those damn packages delivered!
Never again suffer from such existential crises as "Who am I?" or "What am I doing here?" Crashlands is an adventure-crafting RPG driven by an epic story arc. From the moment gameplay begins you'll be thrust PELVIS-FIRST into an insane tale complete with a cast of personality-bloated characters. And what good would those characters be if they could do things for themselves? The Crashlands cast is totally helpless, thus providing you with endless questing opportunities!
Make tools and stations to break down the resources of the planet, discover new recipes in the process, and then BUILD ALL THE THINGS as you explore the world. Craftables get ever more elaborate and ridiculous, and include HARVEST BOMBS and LASER CLOTHESLINES!
And you know what crafting means: INVENTORY MANAGEMENT! OH YEAH! Easily everyone's favorite part of crafting games: spending countless hours organizing countless chests each filled with countless and mostly-useless items. WHAT FUN! If you were looking for yet another inventory management game... TOO BAD FOR YOU. There is NO inventory management in Crashlands. Inventory is handled contextually: you’ll have the things you want when you want them.
Sure, you can create armor and weaponry. DUH. Is there a crafting game that DOESN'T have that? But you can also ENHANCE your bad-assery with a host of gadgets that shoot fire, pull lightning from the aether, poison the crap out of everything, make you fly, and even MODIFY THE VERY FLOW OF SPACETIME.
How fast can you click your mouse/tap your finger to DEFEAT YOUR ENEMIES? Turns out it doesn't matter. It's about skill, not speed. Every creature in Crashlands has a unique attack combo you'll need to learn so that you can defeat it in battle. Do the ol’ Crashlands DANCE OF DEATH to win battles and get those hard-won creature-parts for your crafting.
Not only can you harvest crafting components from creatures, you can also find creature eggs. Take that egg back to your base, give it some time to incubate, and hatch your very own baby pet/death machine. Use your new pet as arm candy, a sidekick in battle, or even as a crafting station!
Crashlands consists of three infinitely-large, procedurely-generated biomes: the Savannah, Bawg, and Tundra. Each has its own cast of creatures, resources, and sentient beings for you to dominate. Okay, we lied about it being infinite. But seriously, Crashlands is really, really big. It would take decades to fully explore.
You’ll obviously want an epic base to hold your massive collection of tamed beasts, crafting stations, and decorative pillows. AW YEAH, BASEBUILDING, where you slowly plod around, repeatedly open-and-close and dig through your enormous inventory, and ever-so-painstakingly assemble your masterpiece. OH WAIT. Base-building in Crashlands doesn’t suck. It's more like finger painting. Just pop open Build Mode, enjoy the soothing muzak, and INSTANTLY build your living quarters!
WHAT? A CRAFTING GAME WITH NO INVENTORY, A FUN BUILDMODE, AN ACTUAL STORY, TAMEABLE PETS, AND RIDICULOUSLY FUN COMBAT ISN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU? Then cram these other features down your pipe hole!
A modding tool that lets you create your own stories, use mutators to change the game, and generally take what we've made and do horrible, wonderful things to it
Platform agnosticism! Crashlands is just as fun on mobile -- go on a road trip with your phone and pick up right where you left off!

And also other things!
Crashlands has been in development for about 10 months. It started as a cathartic escape for the three brothers behind Butterscotch Shenanigans after Sam, the artist and Abe Lincoln-alike, got diagnosed with cancer in November 2013. He's still undergoing treatment for the heinous illness, and Crashlands is his big fat legacy.
We’re in the midst of getting the story integrated, adding boss fights, and polishing up the game in preparation for BETA TESTING. If you want the chance to be involved with Beta testing, grab your BscotchID and watch out for announcements on our Forums and Blog. We’re pretty sure the game will be out by the end of Summer, 2015. Trust us, we totally know what we’re doing.
Just got this and spent an hour or 4 playing. Loving it so far. At first sight I thought it'd be like Don't Starve, but while it does look like it would play like it, without hunger/sanity (the entire point of don't starve), it feels nothing like it. Everything is faster, much more convenient and funny instead of scary (if you can deal with this kind of humor ).
I find it quite grindy at some points. Like get 150 stones... Zzzzz...

It can feel that way when you want some items or your current tier, like the pet upgrading ones, yes. Or if RNG is testing your patience with gear rolls. When I made it to the second map however, I noticed I had over 500 stone all of a sudden. The second tier saw/pick stuff had seeds, which made it more bearable. Gotta love those harvest bombs that clear a 5x5 area.
I must say I like the boss battles so far. You need to be on your toes if you didn't gear for the damage type, but if you are good at dodging, it's not required. Feels very fair. I am not good at dodging however.. I've made it a point to plant my gravestone near my base for every death, and it's growing . That's mostly due to me picking fights with red mobs that very nearly oneshot me though, not the bosses.
bought it few days ago and started playing yesterday -> didn't even realize it was sleepy time :I
Playing on the hardest, and it's quite challenging. I can survive ~2 hits from a 'orange' monster (wearing full leather armor with 1 epic, 2 grays and 1 legendary pair of gloves)
Dodging ftw. (those blue octopussies still kill me with a single hit :/ )
