games identical to Don't Starve


Recommended Posts

just for funzies, what are games identical to Don't Starve.

 

few things you need to think of when comparing:

Top down view-ish

survival

hunger system

crafting

science

tech tree-ish

building-ish

variety of monsters

pets

random map generator

no tutorials.

rouge-like.

 

There is only 1 game I can think of, and that is:

 

RimWorld:

-Top Down View

-Survival

-Hunger system

-crafting

-science

-tech tree

-building-ish

-variety of monsters

-random map generator

-no tutorials

-rouge like (when a character dies, they permanently die, the game ends when all character dies.)

missing: pets

new:

-You need to take care of more than 1 character

-guns

-when injured, you might need to replace limbs or organs with new one or bionic

-Random encounter (kinda like fallout series)

-Randomly generated characters

-also, in dont starve, they have beefalo, in Rimworld, they have moofalo. 

-In Dont starve, it is modern-medieval and magic, in Rimworld, it's from the future.

(in DS, you get to the wilderness by magic, in Rimworld, you get to the wilderness because your spaceship crashed).

 

 

 

What about you?

 

 

 

 

 

OP is making a presumption that Don't Starve is not unique?

 

I haven't tried Rimworld, but I don't think there's a game that fills the niche that Don't Starve fills.

 

Don't Starve is by far the most unique game I've ever played, and that's why its challenging to find a game almost like it. That's why this thread exist.

Identical games to Don't Starve would (mathematically seen) break copyright. :p

 

But if I had to pick the most similiar game to DS, RimWorld sounds like a good candidate. The only thing greatly different from the gameplay in RW is that you have control over a group, not a singular character. Both feature periodic threat, need for food sources, a vague progression line, eerie, uncompromising "taunts" (e.g. sudden combustion), etc.

 

May I add that the game Castle Story is shaping up to be some kind of mix between DS and RW? It's indev, so neither I nor you can really draw a résumé...
