"This is the story of Crashlands, a massive 2D action-RPG crafting game I've been working on with my two brothers since I was diagnosed at the ripe age of 23 with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Cancer is a great clarifier. It stripped out all the petty, superfluous aspects of life and demanded just three things when it struck me in 2013: survive, find meaning, and figure out how to look good bald."
Yes I do read y'all comments. No I don't only review the main stream games, and I do play tons of Indie games. I found one game that I fell in love with by Butterscotch Shenanigans. Well you don't find a story about someone more dedicated to his craft than this one. Really sad, but Seth made an amazing game with the last bit of life he had.
Crashlands plays a lot like Don't Starve. It's an open map with single button combat. Storyline is decent with a bit of wit and irony. If you read the post by the developer you will learn all the backstory to why the story is what it is.
There is a lot to do here in Crashlands from over 500 crafting schematics to collect, farming crops, breeding and growing pet/companions in addition to a long game and amazing storyline. It's an rpg, so be prepared to grind to gain items and level up.
Crashlands is simple nothing complicated. You get a funny story and great combat. It's sad this is the last game the developers will make bc the lead is dying, but it's a good way to go out like a champ. I give Crashlands a 10/10. It's no pity, the game is just plain good!
Here is a link to the developers final story:
