Buying Starbound

I do not think it is going on sale any time soon...but regardless of that fact it is well worth the purchase. I have put more than 80 hours into the game in just a few weeks and it is a lot of fun. There is already a ton of content to enjoy and there is a bunch more to come.

Starbound will not be going on sale any time soon.

If you can find 3 people to buy it with you, it costs $11.24 per copy instead of $14.99. A nice 25% discount for you that you won't see anywhere having for that game soon.

I've put maybe 30+ hours into it, and that was before the wipe, After the wipe I've played for maybe 10ish hours and there's still tons to do. It's worth it.

I bought it for myself, and two friends at the regular price.

worth full price

You can get it for around $11 if you trade 5 Tf2 keys for it, I believe the keys are around the $2.30 range (Using the steam community market) so 5 x 2.30 = $11.50 which is a small savings of $3.49 :P

I use this to trade Dispenser

It already is on a (poorly-advertised) sale. The price will go up when it goes out of beta.

Also buying it on Steam is really stupid. Getting it directly from their site gives you a Steam key plus the soundtrack for free (which for some reason is paid DLC on Steam), PLUS you pay $15. The GBP/Euro prices work out to $20.

Only region where it makes sense to buy from Steam is Russia.

Your Steam profile says that you're a yurop so I just saved you 25%. You're welcome.

Game looks great. Funny thing i won it at gameminer (as a gift) and day after steam blocked them
ah.. these murphy's laws...

Oh man, this is easy. Do you like Terraria? Yes? Then you will definitely like Starbound. If not, then probably not.

And it isn't going to go on sale this sale, or any other sale, until its out of beta (probably 3-6 months at least).

For russian users it costs 9.16$ and for ukrainina 9.99$. Just find good trader :)

It's a really good game! Buy it with TF2 keys, It is 5 keys (7,5€) Almost half of the price! Look for it on TF2 Outpost.

It seems like a lot of fun, but understand that right now you're paying to help a beta. They wipe worlds. They wipe characters. Most of my friends enjoy it, but one is extremely frustrated over how unstable it is.

That's Early Access for you.

Steam recommendation?

First up... if you're really interested in the game, buy it directly from the developers (at playstarbound.com/store ). While you're paying $15 for it, you'll get a Steam Key (Beta + Final) AND a DRM-free (mostly Final) copy in addition the game's soundtrack... & if you can find 3 others to join you, you can get 25% off (in short, buy 3, get one FREE).

Granted Steam is offering the same prices, you DON'T get the DRM-free version NOR the soundtrack... but that's your choice on HOW to buy it.

Second, the "elevator pitch" for Starbound is Terraria in Space!!! This is mostly in look & feel as the game is being made a different developer (separate from the makers of Terraria). You have MULTIPLE Worlds in multiple quadrants (Alpha, Beta & Gamma Quadrants known... Possible Delta Quadrant in the works), so there's a crapload of worlds for you to explore & exploit... each with their own look, feel & dangers (as planets are rated on a 10-point difficulty scale). Additionally, you'll likely find local inhabitants that MAY (or MAY NOT) be friendly that you might be able to trade with (assuming they aren't slitting your throat or pumping you full of lead).

If you enjoy Terraria, you'll have no problems getting into Starbound. Just be aware that the more epic boss battles will be more spaced out (amongst the quadrants, not just a group of planets) than you may like. I'll give it a definitive thumbs up for this game.

The one caveat is that the game is currently Beta versions, so expect bugs, gameplay rebalances & the unfortunate character / world wipe as a result of changes / additions. As we get closer to the final version, such issues will be greatly reduced in the process... so don't get too attached to your characters, stuff or your version of the game's universe.

Hope this helps!

Give it six months and it will be 75% off.

Use your backlog to play other games in the meantime. There's no need to rush and waste alot of money that could've been used elsewhere.

I got it and it's pretty fun. Terraria with phasers.

There will be a character wipe on January, but then, and at least until beta ends, there won't be more wipes. There are literally millions of planets to explore, find settlemnts, secret bases and much more.

If you liked Terraria, and unless Re-Logic comes with something in the next weeks, it's a must have.

Pretty fun if you like Terraria and no, I don't think it will go on sale anytime soon.
