The gameplay is a fairly simple affair from the outside but if you look a little further into Dig or Die there are areas of complexity. So, you’ll need to gather resources, upgrade your tools, build strong walls and powerful turrets, because those enemies want to get to you, and they’re not looking for a nice, warm hug. However, if you’re going to build that rocket you’re going to need a lot of resources, which means getting through a lot of nights of animal attack. You build your first turret and you defend yourself through that first night. So, you wander around the environment picking up metal, destroying trees and mining for materials. Don’t kill more different enemy types than you need to, once you kill a new enemy type that enemy will also attack you at night. More than you can probably deal with, with your laser gun, so you’ll need to build that first turret to make sure you survive. The most important thing to remember is, that many enemies will attack you at night. When you start on the unfamiliar planet you have your crashed ship, a machine that can fabricate items, a laser gun that helps you kill the various nasties of the planet and a mining gun, that helps you… well, mine for things. So you’re just reading a number of screens, that advise of the key controls and so on. There’s also a tutorial which is worth taking a look it, but it’s not interactive. I chose to avoid any additional difficulty so chose the standard option. A multiplayer option allows you and a chosen colleague to build, defend and get off the planet together. There is even an option for adding hazards into the game, such as volcano’s, earthquakes and acid rain. There are various different start options such as starting underwater in a game, on a serious of flying islands, creative mode where everything can be built for free without worrying about resources, and Base defense mode which does not bother you with exploration, it’s all about base-building and defense.
Once you’ve decided on hair style, hair colour, skin type etc your ready to start your planetary survival. It’s not overly advanced but it’s detailed enough top allow for many different options. The story isn’t complex or involved, but it doesn’t matter all you need to know is, that with a laser gun, a fabrication tool and a mining gun, you need to survive the planet you’ve crash-landed on long enough to build yourself a rocket and get the hell out of there.īefore we get into the gameplay part, it’s worth spending a few words on character creation.
