All three of these can be affected by different foods and a crockpot is a good thing to get as early as possible as you craft food that has bigger boosts than its components. I know this was a thing in the original game but not sure about on Shipwrecked, I think you need to have low sanity levels to get nightmare fuel. In Don’t Starve alongside the normal health and hunger indicators you get a sanity one as well, this is very important to keep high most of the time though you may want it low to be able to do certain things. Day/Night cycle along with the health, sanity and hunger levels in the top right corner Also the fact that when you die it’s over adds some difficulty, though you can find some touch stones that have pigs’ heads on sticks that acts as a point to be reincarnated to if you activate them. The later items take quite a bit of collecting and rely on components from things that are trying to eat you so you have to be careful to build up enough resources for armour and a base before you start on them so there is something to build to, it’s not all accessible straight away as it might look when you first play. The science and alchemy machines are fairly early things you have to craft and have the look of something built from the items you find around, rather than something too shiny and new.
If you’ve played the game already you know how important the fire is, I forgot how dark it gets in my first play of this DLC and ended up eaten by the things in the dark. There are certain things you collect to start with, sticks and flint make tools, an axe and pick axe then lead to wood and stones which can make fire, it builds up like most survival games. The other controls are right/left click and space if you’re near something makes your character automatically interact with it.Īs with any survival game you have to collect things around the world, which is randomly generated and is different each time.
As the movement controls are WASD and this rotate is E I have found myself accidentally using it and it’s a bit confusing when you do if you have nothing that memorable to use as an ‘up’ so I’ve opened the map to check a few times. The whole thing is given the look of a 2D worlds though you can rotate it from all angles the trees and items look the same as if you’ve just turned the flat image around. The art style reminds me of Tim Burton animations, there’s a steampunk feel to me with the different contraptions you can craft. There is a goal in collecting all of the ‘things’ and making something to get into another world which is also there in this DLC, the Things are apparently different but I haven’t found any yet. It’s a fairly standard idea if you’ve played survival games but the characters and art style as well as the mobs in this game make it stand out to me, especially with the Shipwrecked DLC. The basic idea behind the Don’t Starve original and the DLCs is to survive and, as the name says, don’t starve. If you consider images of the game play spoilers then don’t read any more. I’m not sure that it’s possible to have spoilers for a game like Don’t Starve but I’m trying to remain spoiler free, there are a few tips at the bottom though. If you just want a list of new things then skip to the bottom, I’ll also link to the few let’s plays I’ve been watching as I think they’re probably the best way to get a feel of the game without playing it. I haven’t played the original in a while though, the last time I played the underground section was fairly new so I can’t compare it to the current Don’t Starve. At the moment Don’t Starve Shipwrecked is still in early access but I haven’t found anything wrong with it, there’s just more to come.ĭon’t Starve in general is a game I really like, Shipwrecked just expands on it, sticking with the same style so some of this review counts for both. The Shipwrecked DLC is £3.99 on Steam and is also available for both versions so if you don’t have the original to get this would cost £15.98.

The original costs £10.99 and is available for both Mac and Windows, though I’m not sure on the difference aside from the mouse on Apple and Windows and plugging a normal mouse into the Mac makes it the same. I guess Don’t Starve Shipwrecked isn’t a complete game, it needs the original Don’t Starve as it’s downloadable content and counts as a game option when you start up a new world rather than being a separate game.
