i dont even know if this can really be considered a clone besides the fact that it has the main features of minecraft but the story itself and the quest and the different biomes makes the game different from minecraft itself
This was the only Minecraft clone that got my attention as a kid, the rest just seemed too generic at the time, but this one was so unique with the fantasy and rpg settings. I've never actually beat the game because the grind can become annoying at some point, I feel like some enemies are way too strong in an unbalanced way
This game is still a lot of fun, and the old textures that look realistic are still there, its in the “theme” setting tab, the fancy theme is the one that looks blocky, and the other one is the original realistic one
Ah Block Story, I missed you... You were Minecraft before Mcpe was a thing on phones... You had the "Aether" included in the base game, and like the "Nether" (I dont remember what the game called them), they weren't even separate dimensions but part of the map, and they had infinite levels. You had quests and a story line... Best memories
I remember playing this game as a kid. I never got very far and eventually had to uninstall it because for some reason it made it impossible to play MCPE on the same device
The music part and the 2020 update you mentioned were truly the best, and I love how you experienced enough from Terarria, SurvivalCraft,… to this game to compare each other, I was surprised you mentioned the Aether to those layers above the Forgotten Sky, and you also made a video about SurvivalCraft, very cool
Holy shit dude I forgot about this game. As a kid, I had a nook color, which is a kind of cheap tablet designed for reading, and its app store didnt have minecraft. However, it had this. Glad I'm not the only person who's experienced this game
I remember when i was 5, in play store i downloaded a minecraft clone that had an cube earth icon, and there was an online, survival mode... And when killing critters, they souls or ghosts flied up to sky, but i cant remember the name and is so nostalgic to think about
Yoooo I still have and play Block Story on my mobile phone- I'm actually trying out Survival for a change because I've been playing Story for, almost 10 years (man those beds are nostalgic, remember when you'd teleport via a staff and beds?). I'm not really a fan of the simplistic textures it now apparently has, but I'm sure it'd grow on me. The music is fire🔥
This was put together really well! I enjoyed it a lot and I can tell you did your research on this one! I've always wanted to see more coverage of the game, but majority of the videos I see of it are in a different language or low quality videos with no commentary. It was nice going back down the memory lane of this game. A few small corrections and some answers to the things you were saying. The latest version is 13.2.1.2. The wiki has some things out of date. After the big space update, 13.0.6 came around and added in additional customization, loot in chests, 2 new dragon models, a new gamemode, and some other small QoL things. Then the last major update was 13.1. This added in Electricity which is basically this game's version of Redstone, along with note blocks. Why weren't these updates called version 14 and 15? I'm not sure. It just makes things a bit more confusing. Since then there were a few small patches with the most recent one being last February. This game has such a long history, it would be hard to put it all into a single video. About the models. A good portion of them can be found on asset stores. Some of the newer models, like the train and airplane, were modeled by the devs though. The game was put together by 2 devs that were actually just getting their feet into game dev. Unfortunately it seems like both of them have moved on from Block Story. The guy that had the idea for Block Story left a few years ago. He was also the guy that handled the IOS updates. Unfortunately the paid version is gone but the Free version is still up, just without the Space update. The paid and free versions were recently taken off of Google Play because it was running on a very old version of Android and the 2nd dev who was supporting that version stated he doesn't have the motivation or time to work on bringing it back. Instead he just gives people the apk file to download the newest free version if people still want it. You can find it on the Block Story VK page (this is like Russian Facebook) or the Block Story Discord. But yeah, I never would have expected this game to get more coverage because it feels like it has been abandoned. You did a great job with this one. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much, I'm happy that I was able to satisfy you watching. And also the feedback corrections are commendable, researching about this game especially since it's been inactive for so long made it pretty hard to find a lot of sources, so having that direct knowledge is extremely helpful! Theirs a lot of games out their that still have followings but don't have coverage, so I like to make essays on them for people so they can have at least some insights that were just not available beforehand, even if I am amateur. Besides all that I watched a lot of your content while doing research on Block Story and you make some really great and helpful videos too!
The game will be returned to Google Play no earlier than in the fall. And we have big plans for new updates to the game, we will start work after we return the game to the game stores
oh my god holy crap i thought this game was a dream i litteraly vividly remember dreaming about this game but then like a million spiders start crawling up and that scared the shit out of me
I used to play a game called Eden on my original Ipod, basically a minecraft clone as well, but there were special blocks like trampolines and speed blocks and you could paint any block any colour.
OH MY GOD i remember when i first started playing, i got stuck in a ravine and looked up, seeing this blue and purple wing just on the top of the cliff- my dumbass thought it was a big butterfly and i flew up and figured out it was a dragon 😭
Dang, I remember this game so fondly. Sucks to see it seems to have disappeared from the Google Play Store, both the free and the premium versions. The App Store you linked to also seems to be an older version, strangely enough.
Yea I noticed that too, it's no longer available on Google Play store which is quite depressing, though I was lucky enough to get the premium version of the game on my galaxy tablet before it was removed, so that was really lucky
@@elias2311 yea I actually just recently found that out and it's very strange, idk why it was gone in the first place and that's really dumb that it can only be found through links but that also makes me wonder if it's still not available on Google Play store if people still can't see it when they search it up and it's like it only shows up for people who already have downloaded the game
I played it a long time ago. I like game overall, you know, magic, fly, rpg. I still remember my feelings first time i dropped into nether... But man, it's pain to play it. Imagine you need alot of stone, and you mine it... and your ears are bleeding cuz of the sound KACHUNG every mined block. Sound design is kinda 2000's year. It's like you hear minecraft's anvil drop sould every time you break any block. Kinda irritating. Graphics also. Why minecraft's tree leaves looks much better than this? Hitboxes are cringe. It's impossible to know if you will deal/take a hit, or not. I ofter was in situation, where 1) you cannot reach enemy and it could reach me, 2) i just abused AI, and kill it through 1 block hole. And if you just started playing, and near you spawned a dinosaur 30lv, you ded. But overall, if block story would have a huge balance/audio/visual rework, it could even smash minecraft (ofc not, but it would be cool game at least)
This is one of my favorite games idk how it isn't Famous its literally dead now there was one youtuber named Xcellerator Posting videos of it he was still making it active till he stopped posting videos so its a dead game now
Classic, even now I still remember this. I remember just grinding Monsters to level up my dragon so that I could ride it. Completely ignoring the quests in the process. All of my gear came from killing NPCs
I still play it its great just sucks cuz i don't think they update it if i have lots of money id give so much to make thid game have other stuff and maybe make it more better which is already 🎉
7.24 idk about pc but on phone u can switch from new textures to old. Also can u make another vid about blox story? Iv never seen an actual TH-camr mentione and talk about this game
I think another video is a reasonable actual possibility. I'm currently working on a survivalcraft video but afterwards I think it could be a great edition especially since their was a lot of things I did not mention, I appreciate ideas. 👍
i dont even know if this can really be considered a clone besides the fact that it has the main features of minecraft but the story itself and the quest and the different biomes makes the game different from minecraft itself

Didnt realise the game is still available even after 11 years of not playing it
11 or 9 i forgot. Felt so unreal after rediscovering it back
It was deleted but it recently came back to the appstores

It's called Hades
Also, they got like 4 layers of space now..
Above the aether
I WISHED SOMEONE MADE A DOCUMENTARY ON THIS, i play this to this day
This wass literally my childhood grown up, thanks for covering this hidden gem lad
Gonna replay it again after this :d
this video came up in my recommended literally RIGHT before I was about to redownload this game
Genuinely have been looking for this game for years but could never remember the name, thank you for bringing it to light once again
I remember i couldnt progress because i was afraid of fighting the spiders 💀
I remember playing this game as a kid. I never got very far and eventually had to uninstall it because for some reason it made it impossible to play MCPE on the same device
I used to grind this so much. Nostalgia bro

I remember my brother being heavily invested into this game, and I never got into it much
Actually, the old textures are still in the game, you can actually switch between them and the pixelized texture pack in the settings
This game is the goat legit so good I'm playing it again with a new world because it recently updated in August
Just its "blocky" it doesnt mean its a Minecraft clone dude
Notch HIMSELF said that Minecraft was a clone of "infiniminer"
Fun fact: The texture for Aragog and the spiders are in scary teacher 3D. And it's the spider item in the spider prank
Is there a discord available for this game?
@@TuroBhamyes
@geraldoedoby6868 may I have the link please, they aren't letting on anybody for some reason
Omg! i've been looking for this game! Thanks for covering it :D
I love this game, started playing it at 2014. Its one of the best free Minecraft clones out there along with Survivalcraft
I remember when i was 5, in play store i downloaded a minecraft clone that had an cube earth icon, and there was an online, survival mode... And when killing critters, they souls or ghosts flied up to sky, but i cant remember the name and is so nostalgic to think about

I MISS THIS FUCKING GAME
I am grateful to you sir. for i loved this game as a child and i shall play it again.
So much nostalgia omg
Ahhh I remember buying this and survivalcraft on my kindle fire back in the day since it was cheaper than Minecraft… good times.
OH MY GOD i remember when i first started playing, i got stuck in a ravine and looked up, seeing this blue and purple wing just on the top of the cliff- my dumbass thought it was a big butterfly and i flew up and figured out it was a dragon 😭
as a kid i always described this game as Minecraft Skyrim !
It feels good finding it after searching for long
Been trying to find this game since I played it as a kid, took me forever to find it

This game was my childhood!
Great video! I completely forgot about this game!
Oh man, the nostalgia! I loved this game! But even back then I knew it was a weird janky rip off. but I still loved it. Very atmospheric!
block story was released on March 2, 2010 on android it's quite like în the time minecraft was not that popular =)
I used to play this long time ago
i remember block story
I still love this game
we got rlcraft at home ahh game, no sh!t was the bomb, too bad they don't update the game regularly anymore. I used to play this when i was a kid.
BRO THE GAME IS BACK ON PLAY STORE
This game was everything for kid me!
and in August this year they updated the game
great video i thought that game was forgotten
