Still in the dune mood?This new desert survival game also has huge sandworms
Still thinking about the Dune movie? Are you interested in the idea of wandering in a desolate world of sand and dust, trying to survive in harsh climates, and occasionally encountering giant sandworms?
good, Dune survival game is in development On Funcom, but you can get the fix faster by checking Xingsha, An early-experience survival game, set in a harsh desert environment, is the home of giant sandworms. If you are interested, don’t wait long: Starsand will be on sale on November 4.
In Starsand, you are finally trapped in the desert after being swallowed by a sandstorm while running a marathon. (Desert marathon, because the regular marathon is not challenging enough.) When the dust settles, all you have is a bottle of water and knowledge, that is, you can piece together primitive tools by collecting rocks and sticks. I tried the free demo and it is very difficult-the sun shines ruthlessly on your character, it will soon start to damage your character, it looks like there is nothing around you, only endless sand and distance Mysterious pyramid.
But this is not Egypt. When the sun sets, you will notice two moons in the sky, neither of them look like the moons we know and love. Obviously, sandstorms have taken you to other planets, dimensions, timelines, or… who knows?
This may not be the Earth, but there are familiar creatures in Star Sand. After I found an oasis where there was drinkable water and the trees produced fruits such as dates and bananas, I killed a frog with an axe and then roasted it on the fire. There were also some scorpions running around, and when another sandstorm came in and almost knocked down the small shack I was building, some frightened camels and gazelles appeared in my oasis. I fed a banana to a camel. He is my friend now, and I am very happy, because just look at his sweet and silly face.
I didn’t see any sandworms during the demonstration, but they are somewhere, there are other dangers, such as the appearance of swarms of hyenas, huge crocodiles and huge centipedes. Of course, the biggest threat is the desolate desert itself. Starsand Early Access November 4.
