Just waiting when asmon will discover all the indie hidden gems and be awed by how many great games there are that no one talks about because they're indies.
Some that could be cool for him is: Horizon Gate Series, Swords and Sandals (mini game, not much depth but very enjoyable), Moonring, Abiotic Factor and Deep Rock Galactic
Lumping Terraria together with Stardew is odd, their only similarity being that they use sprite art. Terraria is a 2D side scrolling sandbox boss rush game. It's the grandfather of this specific sub genre, branching off of Minecraft at the time. Terraria carved a spot for games like Core Keeper and Valheim to flourish, without it, this genre wouldn't be here or the same as it is today. It also goes hard once you get out of the early game and its bosses are iconic. Modded with Calamity, it's still one of the best boss fight sandbox games on the market to this day. Stardew is a casual slow paced farming life simulator, inspired by games like Harvest Moon and Rune Factory but has less combat and no magic like Rune Factory but a bit more action than Harvest Moon. From Asmon's PoV labeling this one as a "girl game" is more fair, as Asmon's type of games are always combat focused. Stardew would *not* be something he'd enjoy. Even if he doesn't end up enjoying Terraria completely due to it's 2D side scrolling nature. I hope Asmon gives it a shot at least, on or off stream, just so he can experience the game that essentially created this sub genre of survival crafting games focused on combat, boss fights, and awesome loot.
I hate how often calamity is brought up in discussions about Terraria, the game itself holds its own without needing a mod to improve it. Yes, calamity is a great mod, and I'd argue it improves the game overall, but constantly bringing up a mod in discussions about the game makes it look like the game NEEDS a mod to be good. Terraria unmodded stands on its own.
@@ZeallustImmortal well I think we can all agree with you on that but, from someone who already played base terraria, mods make the base game feel like entering hard mode
Based, it's like not playing Minecraft... Not sure I vibe with the Stardew take either; since when did it become girly to drive your competitors out of business via ruthless capitalism? LMAO. I mean he certainly wouldn't like it because the combat isn't good, but he sounds 12 when *that* is his reason.
@@65555fdv just bc u dont like those games doesnt mean they cant be good... Terraria is on top of every game you have in your library promise you. more content, mods, more players, bosses literally everything. all you have to do is look at the steam stats.
The games don't really "come out of nowhere". They just dont have tens of millions of dollars for advertising. They make a handful of ads on twitter or facebook, maybe, if that. Small indie titles rely primarily on word of mouth, and being placed/shown off on Steams release page.
This. Then again, if a game is really good people WILL eventually have a friend come up to them and ask "did you ever try Corekeeper?". In a way, that's how you can tell a game is really good. No big marketing blitz, no phony celebrity gushing about a game they probably never played for that fat paycheck, just gamers telling other gamers that this indie title is a blast.
That's what divides real gamers from causal gamers: Real gamers know games like this one from the start because they constantly scan the entire market. Casual gamers in the other hand mainly just play what they see in mass media ads or from ads that are masjed as "game reviews" - IGN kind of shXt.
Bought this game on early access release, its one of those games u know is gonna be soo good that i waited until release before playing it more, thats almost 2 years wait time, but worth it in the end.
I felt the opposite but I'm glad I was wrong. I also bought it on EA release but I thought it was junk in the state it was. Looks like they've done a lot with it and excited to see what they've done.
I loved Undertale for what it was. Then I go online and find it's fanbase is insane Tumblr tards. There is a huge difference between what something is and the fanbase that latches onto it and shape the discussion to their narrative.
Terraria is great, especially the Mod "Calamity". It's basicly a new game on steroids in terms of difficulty and content. Sadly the devs caved to the mentally ill and removed genders from their character creator in the last update... Just sad to see, just like the RuneScape devs.
@@keeferChieferMinecraft and terraria are literally worlds apart. The only similarities you can compare Minecraft and terraria to is the sandbox elements and square tiles. That’s it.
its more that he doesn't know what terraria really is and assumed it was like stardew valey without actually looking into it cuz artstyle, cuz grouping those two games makes no sense whatsoever
@@ennioxSolo burn at first, I agree. I went on to the point you start mining and I spent 99% of the time being a miner (maybe like 10 hours or so). Dropped it for other games, but yeah definitely more than a dating app or farming sim. You really can get lost into specific aspects of the game without necessarily going through the rest too much.
The shiny suits and the pink hairs have all the power and money of governments and mega-corporations behind them, but they're still losing to a bunch of poor gamers. And they're losing badly. It's glorious.
Core Keeper has been out in Early Access for like TWO YEARS prior to its 1.0 release on Aug 27th - EVERYONE SLEPT ON THIS GAME. The Early Access state it came out in was GREAT even and none of the streamers picked it up, hardly even cozy streamers too. The team took EVERYTHING the player base gave in feedback, and RAN with it! That "wall" of a boss is in a pain in the ass area too. Like you need HIGH mining gear to be able to break the wall blocks to be able to have some room to fight it in. Hopefully NOW that you're talking about it, this game will take off. It deserves the recognition.
Been playing it since very EA. It's the second highest playtime in my library, behind Valheim . It's simply amazing, the devs have been fantastic. It looks like it's about to blow into the stratosphere which is long overdue and very much deserved. It's a modern classic
@@korbendallas8488 Same, been playing since EA and it's one of my longest - I think it even beats out my stardew playtime (on 2 platforms even lol) and it's about to give my staple cozy games a run for the money. I am so excited to see this game get the bump in players! I keep recommending it every chance I get!
If you like this game try Necesse, it’s very similar but you can make a village with npc’s that you can program to farm,fish,fertilize crops,cook,craft,guard the base from raiders, animal husbandry, automatically store items/organize chests etc
Terraria is my most played single player videogame of all time sitting at 803 hours played on steam. Ngl Asmon dismissing Terraria and lumping it in with Stardew Valley annoyed the hell out of me. Especially considering how difficult and unforgiving Terraria can be at times.
@@punchykarma6685 And gameplay! Graphics and art style go in my opinion hand in hand and yes, a pretty looking game can also add to the experience but if the gameplay and everything else like music, story, sound design, voice acting, price and so on... Doesn't fit then even the prettiest game will not succeed, a lesson the AAA industry is slowly learning.
well the graphics are amazing though, not really the best example lol, it's hards down one of the best looking 2d games out there with the lighting and smooth animations (not hard coded frames like most 2d games), you wouldn't see a game looking like this back when terraria was being made good game with bad graphics would be more like... cataclysm dark days ahead
@@Official_RetroMania Before games were made with technical limitations so they had to focus more on the gameplay, nowaday AAA industry run next gen ultra realistic graphic and think it will make a good game ..
@@DDracee I mean art style wise the game look great but it isn't a high budget ultra realistic looking game that most AAA and even AA devs try to achieve. It knows is audience, I think many big companies can learn from these smaller devs.
Terraria is about creating character builds and fighting bosses. Stardew is about running a farm and providing gifts to your neighbors. Wouldnt exactly call them similar.
Terraria is *NOT* for girls. You literally fight demons and a giant wall of flesh in _hell_ and explore a giant dark dungeon filled with skeletons. Terraria is an amazing game for anyone!
Why did Stardew Valley even get mentioned? It’s nothing like Core Keeper or Terraria which are both about exploration and boss fights. Like even fishing in terraria is ultimately about getting rare items and better gear. For boss fights. And to survive while exploring further.
Aesthetics are clearly inspired by stardew valley + stardew also has progression based on getting better ores + skills work the same way + farming mechanics like better hoe od watercan covering more tiles than some basic version. Core keeper IS a mix of terraria and stardew valley even when we look only at aesthetics and isometric view (there is even stardew valley music sheet in core keeper)
Just to be clear: Terraria is in no way related to Stardew, like at all. You could maybe say "stardew is for girls" but you can't say you're interested in CoreKeeper and not Terraria, CoreKeeper is basically top down Terraria, and between the two, Terraria is the better game by far.
I would argue, I personally like core keeper more. I tried it 2-3 years ago and i liked its charm more. I definitely wouldn’t say it’s better by “far” they’re both good games. I think the progression is a bit better in core keeper now to be completely honest. Terraria is harder but that doesn’t make it the better game for me.
@@Glxrp I last played Core Keeper 2 years ago, probably will play it again now that it's 1.0. But I felt at least at the time that Terraria was just simply better fleshed out overall and had deeper mechanics in general, like the water/lava system was really cool, and the world was less linear I felt. I agree though that I like the aesthetic of CK better, Terraria's graphics are, well, functional, they are fine, but not great by any metric. But who knows, it's been 2 years, maybe CK is the better game now overall guess I'll find out. Both great games either way.
@@entelin I think both games are focusing on different things i think the customizability is WAY better CK but atleast visually (i havent finished everything yet), i think the boss fights of terraria were harder. So they're gonna have 2 different playerbases even if their core principles are the same.
As someone who enjoys the non-shit survival open world base building adventure games like Minecraft, Terraria, Starbound, Necesse, Keplerth, Project Zomboid, Palworld, Valheim, etc., it always is a welcome sight to see that new games are added to this family. I cannot stress enough how many disappointments have to be released just so we can get something like Core Keeper.
I love those games, i played minecraft, necesse, core keeper, stradew valley, don't starve, project zomboid, v rising, the binding of isaac, lost ark etc. Tried terraria and never liked it. I don't know why.
I love how girly i feel in terraria when i wear the armor made from the corpses of my enemies and mow down hordes of goblins, watching gore and goblin paste fly all over my screen
I played this today the first time and instantly got hooked! No handholding, no tutorials taking over your screen every 2 minutes, you just get dropped in and figure things out with common sense & curiosity; before you know it your building craft tables, tools; etc. I just love being allowed to explore with no “short limits”. Try it out!
Nobody mentions about the automation, which is actually pretty fun, you can mine resources, chop trees, kill monsters automatically, etc, all automated.
@@RisenOswald no, like factorio and 'factory' building games, minecraft also has automation it's more gimmicky, in core keeper you build actual machines that do some work, traps for killing on selfmade spawn zones, drills, conveyor belts to transfer items to places and chest, etc.
@@visoth7791 Necesse is really good ^^ wanted to check out Cult of the Lamb but I haven't gotten a chance to yet maybe later. Necesse just got a graphic update that is really nice looking :) highly recommend it. Settlers are actually useful when you make your own little town.
I think Asmon should experience Terraria. That game is a true masterpiece. Nothing girly about it. And you grind for mounts, which seems right up his alley
I've been keeping tabs on Core Keeper since it launched early access, but I never played through the entire content. I decided to wait until the game was done to really delve into it. That time has come.
This is what happens when you are only interested in ARPGs, MMOs, Shooters, and Soulslikes. You don’t even notice the good games you’ve unintentionally avoided
My biggest make-or-break is, do you drop everything on death, or at least is there a keep inventory option? I love survival crafting games, but the 'drop everything on death' mechanic they all seem to be so fond of is (To me, anyways) just very tedious, and doesn't really add any depth. I can fear death on my own, thank you very much, you don't need to help me
some things that are related : 1. Your "gear"(armors, trinkets) get a "separate" inventory, and you get 3 whole pages? of them (so you can have 3 situational armor sets that you can swap without worrying about inventory space) 2. If you die you'll drop all your inventory slots (everything except stuffs in your quickslot hotbar, and armor pages) and they'll go... safely into your... Tombstone? so you can just simply run back to where you die and claim it (they won't despawn too dw) 3. There's not really a Death Penalty? Like minecraft with the dropping EXP levels etc all in all it can be a generally chill, altho time-consuming (you blink and 5 hours passed) kind of game
Asmon, Terraria playthrough with Calamity mod is BADASS, you are missing out. Master mode is suffering incarnate but you feel so cool when you beat it.
Considering I've played a lot of this game since the first release in Early Access, participated in the discord suggestions and have been playing for almost 8 hours with my friends today, suddenly seeing Asmon finding out about it for the first time felt... refreshing.
By the time I got to ivy two days ago, I had already beaten the blue slime and become king of the slimes. So when I approached ivy it stayed put and just jumped up and down in that spot until I killed it. Didn't even have to fight the thing, just executed it for its soul. 😂
Saying "Terraria is for girls" is like saying WoW is for children under 10 Are the graphics all happy and stylized, with vivid colors? Yeah. That's where "for girls" part end, if you can even call it that. The progression and exploration in Terraria are _PERFECT_, this is the most videogamey videogame after Tetris. Asmon is missing out Also, Valheim is basically Terraria with cool viking world and less insane equipment
I was an early adopter of this game. I put it down for a while but unfortunately when I wanted to start playing again you're pretty much forced to start another save file due to the extensive updates it's a shame a lot of the new biomes and updates are kneecaped for old save files. I have countless hours on my save and don't want to start another one.
You can still go into your old world, you'll just get a notice everytime. "You are entering a classic world, which lacks the latest content. Starting a new world is recommended." My world from Feb 2022 still works. I'm not sure to what extent the missing content is though.
people always think terraria is 2d minecraft because it was released after, but minecraft has borrowed more ideas from terraria than the other way around
Man, there's always too many games to play, but Terraria is a must play. I've put 1800 hours into my game over the years, and I actively HATE Minecraft. If he liked Valheim, he's probably going to like Terraria too
Terraria has more depth than Minecraft. Both literally and figuratively. I love Minecraft but the beautiful chests and biome crates in Terraria are works of art. Puts Minecraft to shame. Maybe next decade we will get different wood chest types in Minecraft. /s
@@MichaelPohoreski exactly. I just have to mention MC because everyone's first impression is "2d Minecraft" when they look at it, and Asmon is going to classify that as a girl game if he only glances at it.
@@matthewmammothswine4395 to each their own, but you missed out. There is an amazing progression you go through, and you'll never see anything cool in 15 minutes. At the start, it's hard just to walk to the edge of the map, but half way through the game you'll be soaring through the air raining meteors down on all the enemies while you prepare for a boss fight. Being 2D means it can have more complexity in other areas.
@@signa8 I can totally get the appeal for people and why they like it but what you described makes it clear it’s definitely not a game for me. I’ve never played Minecraft or Vallheim either, they just don’t appeal to me. I’m much more into something like Subnautica, Kenshi, or No Man’s Sky that immerse you in to the world with emergent story telling and gameplay.
It's okay. But after playing Terraria and other games similar to it, Core keep for me lacks in content. Also enemies get stupidly powerful later on. Never liked such difficulty spikes and yes I've gotten the end game armor and so on.
@@Dafool11 It's not a skill issue when enemies did half of your health in damage in one hit. It's the most boring type of difficulty setting you can have.
Terarria was the same way. Had years of development and updates. First time I played it the last boss was Wall of Flesh. Hope to see Core Keeper do the same thing.
“I like streaming, talking and hanging out” . Likewise, assmongler has been my go to cleaning / listening while I’m grinding POE content cause it slightly gives me the vibe that I’m hanging out AND even if I don’t always agree with his opinions I genuinely appreciate that they are at least calculated and thought out cause sometimes it makes me rethink sometimes. Ty Ty
core keeper would be awesome with a few relatively minor changes. boss and combat being improved to be a bit more like bullethell games, with spells on your bar as well as the items in your bags. there are a ton of bullethell top down games that excel at this, they could copy from some of the best of them. and they coul have difficulty set as a setting on the map. more endgame content - last i played it was basically "get bronze ore, make bronze stuff, get silver ore make silver stuff, get gold ore make gold stuff (not the names of the ores but the same progression, and not much in terms of totally new gameplay as you went along that path, just your items hit harder to break the higher level ores/monsters. they could add resist gear, gear with stats, etc.
@@cameronmckillop6448 Progression is weird, sometimes the pacing feels weird, and potions/fishing dont feel as important as terraria cuz the bosses arent that hard. Mage and summoner are too weak. Its fun but its got a lot of improving to do still if Im gonna compare it to terraria
@@braumski2 Core Keeper has been in early access for a 2 years and certain aspects feel really off. Like you said the summoner and mage are weak. My experience is it due to mana. Durations on summons is almost novel and I don't understand why they feel the need to do it. The game on hard is punishing enough.
Pretty much. But if that ain't your cake try Starbound, its a side view like terraria but in space. Also Starbound has a massive steam workshop so you can pretty much change everything.
@@justanobody0 ah yes, a connoisseur of fine art i see. we barely remember who or what came before this precious moment we are choosing to be here, right now hold on, stay inside this holy reality this holy experience - "Tool is exactly what it sounds like, it's a big dick" -keenan
Just watched the Star wars Outlaws video before this. Going from "wasnt excited for this game, this game is giving me depression" and seeing this "I am excited for this, this is awesome" is a fun tone shift
I actually feel like my gaming experience was kind of similar to Asmon’s I used be a variety gamer until Halo 2, Halo 3, CoD MW and MW2, then Runescape since 2009, and basically Minecraft and Runescape up until Rocket League, then Rocket League and Runescape for a few years. I missed out on a lot of variety in games. At 31 I’m just now getting into play games like the Legend of Zelda and all sorts of other games. I have had Core Keeper for over a year now and got my wife and nephew into it, so I’m really glad to see how popular it’s getting!
Core Keeper was referred to as a Terraria-like. TERRARIA-LIKE. Just like the SoulsBorne games and the Soulslike genre, do you know how big of an impact and how good a game is to be referred to as a subgenre? That's just how good Terraria is and yes, I highly recommend it
Some of Zack's takes like saying Terraria is for girls, always makes me remember why some of his takes in Diablo franchise are kinda dumb... he never played D1 and D2, and than good things he sees in new ActionRPG games he is like ''oh.. so same like in PoE"... Imagine if another MMORPG came out, copying WoW and other people reference that game instead of WoW... and than someone tell it comes from WoW and that person says ''oh.. I always thought WoW was for girls, with those Disney cartoonic graphics, g4y elfs and panda bears''... Its just stupid, but I am glad he likes this type of games, because they are fun... and I like Zack, so it is what it is 😂
There are "gardens" in Empyrion Galactic Survival to, but that game is a decent horror game and brutal sci-fi where your flying a "tin can" most of the time that will turn into swizz cheese in seconds if not explode on first accidental first contact with a hostile. (nothing like going into orbit right below a hostile station).
How is it weird when it's 1.0 launch? Many people buy EA, play a little bit and then wait for X months/years for 1.0 launch before playing seriously, many are tired to lose progress as you get less free time how older you get. With every EA game there is a huge peak during 1.0 launch and only then it reaches streamers attention.
@@KiffJRockka its weird seeing because I played the beta and didn’t really see anyone talk about it. And now it’s getting a lot of attention. Not used to it.
i have 100 hrs in early access core keeper, just now diving in to the 1.0 update. this game is so much fun and its easy to really get into it. lots to explore, better gear drops to hunt for, and lots and lots of digging.
I came across this game completely by accident no vids, recommendations, etc. about 6 mo ago- It seemed like it came out of left field & it was so much better than I expected it to be. Since then 90% of the games I play are indie or smaller studios, & they're so much more fun than the corporate games have been.
i think the thing that sold this game for me is you arnt limited on where to go really even if you cant mine something you can find a way around it, you can explore regions that will one shot you 3 times over the hp you have but you can still kill the mobs there and if your lucky and find a set piece or a mob drop you can use it and it'll be way stronger then what you're ment to have at that point but it wont level lock you or force you to grind skills to use it, you can definetly sequence break but there are certain things that keep you in check like needing to craft better furnaces to smelt ore you otherwise cant use, so you still need to go back to lower zones either way.
You can’t convince me asmond is not pushing these games he finds. - Looks at corekeeper gameplay that has many aspects of terraria - Gives terraria 0 recognition despite shouting out a game that has clear similarities. If these random game spotlights are not a shadow ad then… 🤷🏾♂️
Or perhaps he simply finds these games more appealing? Side scrolling like in Terarria can be a big turn off, top down feels a lot more intuitive for this kind of gameplay. He thought Terarria was a girls game, so he probably doesn't know enough about it to give it any credit in this regard.
Imagine Asmon discovers Grounded, sure the game looks bit cartoonish and is literally (honey i shrunk the kids) in a game but has Souls level combat and is in general brutal.
terraria isn't a girly game at all some bosses can actually very hard and it doesn`t even have any "girly game" attributes. you should play it the combat is amazing and there are more than 500 weapons you start as a normal soul and go through a perfect progression of killing bosses getting better armor and weapon for your class and just continue this until you become a god slayer. dont even get me started on the mods terraria calamity makes a nearly perfect game even more unbelievably good
everyone here is so pressed about his terraria comment, i just want to know what everyone here thinks about core keeper. what im seeing looks very very fun.
I got core keeper a while ago. Spent like 4 hours making bridges across underground rivers look good. Also made enemy farms and large scale farming for food. Rest of the time was exploring and traveling to the bosses. Great time

Lumping Terraria together with Stardew is odd, their only similarity being that they use sprite art.
Terraria is a 2D side scrolling sandbox boss rush game. It's the grandfather of this specific sub genre, branching off of Minecraft at the time. Terraria carved a spot for games like Core Keeper and Valheim to flourish, without it, this genre wouldn't be here or the same as it is today. It also goes hard once you get out of the early game and its bosses are iconic. Modded with Calamity, it's still one of the best boss fight sandbox games on the market to this day.
Stardew is a casual slow paced farming life simulator, inspired by games like Harvest Moon and Rune Factory but has less combat and no magic like Rune Factory but a bit more action than Harvest Moon. From Asmon's PoV labeling this one as a "girl game" is more fair, as Asmon's type of games are always combat focused. Stardew would *not* be something he'd enjoy.
Even if he doesn't end up enjoying Terraria completely due to it's 2D side scrolling nature. I hope Asmon gives it a shot at least, on or off stream, just so he can experience the game that essentially created this sub genre of survival crafting games focused on combat, boss fights, and awesome loot.

The games don't really "come out of nowhere". They just dont have tens of millions of dollars for advertising. They make a handful of ads on twitter or facebook, maybe, if that. Small indie titles rely primarily on word of mouth, and being placed/shown off on Steams release page.
Thats what coming out of nowhere means, in this context
This. Then again, if a game is really good people WILL eventually have a friend come up to them and ask "did you ever try Corekeeper?". In a way, that's how you can tell a game is really good. No big marketing blitz, no phony celebrity gushing about a game they probably never played for that fat paycheck, just gamers telling other gamers that this indie title is a blast.
This is a problem of taking a common expression literally.
You must be fun at parties........
That's what divides real gamers from causal gamers:
Real gamers know games like this one from the start because they constantly scan the entire market.
Casual gamers in the other hand mainly just play what they see in mass media ads or from ads that are masjed as "game reviews" - IGN kind of shXt.
Bought this game on early access release, its one of those games u know is gonna be soo good that i waited until release before playing it more, thats almost 2 years wait time, but worth it in the end.
We did that tooo. We might go back and play it again on new game xD
I felt the opposite but I'm glad I was wrong. I also bought it on EA release but I thought it was junk in the state it was. Looks like they've done a lot with it and excited to see what they've done.
Word I just farted, smells so bad.
nerd
Same here
Terraria is the elden ring of this genre. Especially the crazy boss mods.
I feel like Asmon is hugely misinformed about what kind of game Terraria is if he is lumping it together with Stardew Valley.
Asmon saying that Terraria is for girls is the same situation when he said that Undertale is for vegans.
omg, exactly
And he's right
I like both games. Gonna be cutting animal products out of my diet and transing now brb.
I loved Undertale for what it was. Then I go online and find it's fanbase is insane Tumblr tards. There is a huge difference between what something is and the fanbase that latches onto it and shape the discussion to their narrative.
Terraria is sick.
U should give Aground a try if u like terraria. Underrated game.
Terraria is great, especially the Mod "Calamity". It's basicly a new game on steroids in terms of difficulty and content.
Sadly the devs caved to the mentally ill and removed genders from their character creator in the last update... Just sad to see, just like the RuneScape devs.
I could never get into it, always felt like a worse 2d version of Minecraft so I’d always just go back to Minecraft instead lmao
@@keeferChieferMinecraft and terraria are literally worlds apart. The only similarities you can compare Minecraft and terraria to is the sandbox elements and square tiles. That’s it.
@@KazaiTVDid WHAT??? lol
Why do they embarass themselves like that?
Saying Terraria is for girls is wild considering how tough the bosses can be

yeah daytime empress of light
He should watch UberDanger's Terraria videos. It would 100% convince him to play.
Or using gardening as his example when gardening is basically a requirement to progress in Valheim.
Stardew Valley and Terraria are masterpieces. People that dismissed them for various reasons are truly missing out.
i was playing stardew for like an hour but it was only story based and no combat. Did i miss out?
@@ennioxSolo burn at first, I agree. I went on to the point you start mining and I spent 99% of the time being a miner (maybe like 10 hours or so). Dropped it for other games, but yeah definitely more than a dating app or farming sim. You really can get lost into specific aspects of the game without necessarily going through the rest too much.

Core Keeper has been out in Early Access for like TWO YEARS prior to its 1.0 release on Aug 27th - EVERYONE SLEPT ON THIS GAME. The Early Access state it came out in was GREAT even and none of the streamers picked it up, hardly even cozy streamers too. The team took EVERYTHING the player base gave in feedback, and RAN with it!
That "wall" of a boss is in a pain in the ass area too. Like you need HIGH mining gear to be able to break the wall blocks to be able to have some room to fight it in.
Hopefully NOW that you're talking about it, this game will take off. It deserves the recognition.
Been playing it since very EA. It's the second highest playtime in my library, behind Valheim . It's simply amazing, the devs have been fantastic. It looks like it's about to blow into the stratosphere which is long overdue and very much deserved. It's a modern classic
@@korbendallas8488 Same, been playing since EA and it's one of my longest - I think it even beats out my stardew playtime (on 2 platforms even lol) and it's about to give my staple cozy games a run for the money.

Terraria is the golden standard in player progression, designed to absolute PERFECTION.

This game just proves that graphics aren't everything, most big AAA devs are focused on graphics, while this game has outdone most AAA games!
yea artstyle matters more than graphics
@@punchykarma6685 And gameplay! Graphics and art style go in my opinion hand in hand and yes, a pretty looking game can also add to the experience but if the gameplay and everything else like music, story, sound design, voice acting, price and so on... Doesn't fit then even the prettiest game will not succeed, a lesson the AAA industry is slowly learning.
well the graphics are amazing though, not really the best example lol, it's hards down one of the best looking 2d games out there with the lighting and smooth animations (not hard coded frames like most 2d games), you wouldn't see a game looking like this back when terraria was being made

Terraria is about creating character builds and fighting bosses.
Stardew is about running a farm and providing gifts to your neighbors.
Wouldnt exactly call them similar.

Not really Rimworld. Rimworld is a colony base defense type game. My base hasnt been raided yet in Core Keeper.
This is Terraria + Valheim
Necesse has colony core keeper does not
@@renipatvilmoskorte7458 Yep, played both. Necesse is the one that has the rimworld aspects. Core keeper is just terraria + minecraft + stardew.
Necesse, core keeper , and dwarf fortress been my thing past few months
Necesse is the shit
I've been on it for the last 4 days straight , it's massive, pets , animals for the farm, craft instruments , potions , bombs, railways, traps ,
same
Terraria is *NOT* for girls. You literally fight demons and a giant wall of flesh in _hell_ and explore a giant dark dungeon filled with skeletons. Terraria is an amazing game for anyone!
Why did Stardew Valley even get mentioned? It’s nothing like Core Keeper or Terraria which are both about exploration and boss fights. Like even fishing in terraria is ultimately about getting rare items and better gear. For boss fights. And to survive while exploring further.
Aesthetics are clearly inspired by stardew valley + stardew also has progression based on getting better ores + skills work the same way + farming mechanics like better hoe od watercan covering more tiles than some basic version. Core keeper IS a mix of terraria and stardew valley even when we look only at aesthetics and isometric view (there is even stardew valley music sheet in core keeper)
Zack would love Terraria, I can definitely see him actually become good and clear Master mode
Asmongold - terraria changed my life
Just to be clear: Terraria is in no way related to Stardew, like at all. You could maybe say "stardew is for girls" but you can't say you're interested in CoreKeeper and not Terraria, CoreKeeper is basically top down Terraria, and between the two, Terraria is the better game by far.
I would argue, I personally like core keeper more. I tried it 2-3 years ago and i liked its charm more. I definitely wouldn’t say it’s better by “far” they’re both good games. I think the progression is a bit better in core keeper now to be completely honest. Terraria is harder but that doesn’t make it the better game for me.
@@Glxrp Terraria is way better by the metric of being the highest reviewed game on Steam of all time.
@@Glxrp I last played Core Keeper 2 years ago, probably will play it again now that it's 1.0. But I felt at least at the time that Terraria was just simply better fleshed out overall and had deeper mechanics in general, like the water/lava system was really cool, and the world was less linear I felt. I agree though that I like the aesthetic of CK better, Terraria's graphics are, well, functional, they are fine, but not great by any metric. But who knows, it's been 2 years, maybe CK is the better game now overall guess I'll find out. Both great games either way.
@@entelin I think both games are focusing on different things i think the customizability is WAY better CK but atleast visually (i havent finished everything yet), i think the boss fights of terraria were harder. So they're gonna have 2 different playerbases even if their core principles are the same.
I like Core Keeper far better than Terraria.
Worst off he never played terraria been waiting for years
Saying that Terraria is for girls is like saying Doom is for girls.
no. he is saying terraria is for girls, just like blasphemy 2 is for guys.
As someone who enjoys the non-shit survival open world base building adventure games like Minecraft, Terraria, Starbound, Necesse, Keplerth, Project Zomboid, Palworld, Valheim, etc., it always is a welcome sight to see that new games are added to this family. I cannot stress enough how many disappointments have to be released just so we can get something like Core Keeper.
How could you not include Subnautica in the list. Probably the best survival game out there. The only down side is its single player.

i feel like asmon would love terraria
I love how girly i feel in terraria when i wear the armor made from the corpses of my enemies and mow down hordes of goblins, watching gore and goblin paste fly all over my screen
I played this today the first time and instantly got hooked! No handholding, no tutorials taking over your screen every 2 minutes, you just get dropped in and figure things out with common sense & curiosity; before you know it your building craft tables, tools; etc. I just love being allowed to explore with no “short limits”. Try it out!
What's it called???
Nobody mentions about the automation, which is actually pretty fun, you can mine resources, chop trees, kill monsters automatically, etc, all automated.
So like a mobile game?
@@RisenOswald no, like factorio and 'factory' building games, minecraft also has automation it's more gimmicky, in core keeper you build actual machines that do some work, traps for killing on selfmade spawn zones, drills, conveyor belts to transfer items to places and chest, etc.

Necesse is way better than core keeper in my opinion. The settler producing and sorting items is even more fun than in Palworld.

@@visoth7791 Necesse is really good ^^ wanted to check out Cult of the Lamb but I haven't gotten a chance to yet maybe later. Necesse just got a graphic update that is really nice looking :) highly recommend it. Settlers are actually useful when you make your own little town.
I think Asmon should experience Terraria. That game is a true masterpiece. Nothing girly about it. And you grind for mounts, which seems right up his alley
I've been keeping tabs on Core Keeper since it launched early access, but I never played through the entire content. I decided to wait until the game was done to really delve into it. That time has come.
Someone needs to show him the Nameless Deity fight from Terraria Calamity WOTG.
This is what happens when you are only interested in ARPGs, MMOs, Shooters, and Soulslikes.
You don’t even notice the good games you’ve unintentionally avoided
My biggest make-or-break is, do you drop everything on death, or at least is there a keep inventory option? I love survival crafting games, but the 'drop everything on death' mechanic they all seem to be so fond of is (To me, anyways) just very tedious, and doesn't really add any depth. I can fear death on my own, thank you very much, you don't need to help me
some things that are related :
1. Your "gear"(armors, trinkets) get a "separate" inventory, and you get 3 whole pages? of them (so you can have 3 situational armor sets that you can swap without worrying about inventory space)
2. If you die you'll drop all your inventory slots (everything except stuffs in your quickslot hotbar, and armor pages) and they'll go... safely into your... Tombstone? so you can just simply run back to where you die and claim it (they won't despawn too dw)
3. There's not really a Death Penalty? Like minecraft with the dropping EXP levels etc
all in all it can be a generally chill, altho time-consuming (you blink and 5 hours passed) kind of game
If you die in the game the devs cone to your house in real life to kill you. It really adds to the immersion.

Asmon, Terraria playthrough with Calamity mod is BADASS, you are missing out. Master mode is suffering incarnate but you feel so cool when you beat it.

so maybe he'd like the catacylsm mod
@@robenriven my bad that's what i meant it's been a while.
Yeah, my game backlog is why I don't care about the gradual collapse of the AAA studios as much. I have 10-12 years of games to play through.
DEUS Baerson describes it properly:
Core Keeper:
10% Stardew Valley
20% Valheim
15% Don't Starve
5% Factorio
50% Terraria
Considering I've played a lot of this game since the first release in Early Access, participated in the discord suggestions and have been playing for almost 8 hours with my friends today, suddenly seeing Asmon finding out about it for the first time felt... refreshing.
By the time I got to ivy two days ago, I had already beaten the blue slime and become king of the slimes. So when I approached ivy it stayed put and just jumped up and down in that spot until I killed it. Didn't even have to fight the thing, just executed it for its soul. 😂
Saying "Terraria is for girls" is like saying WoW is for children under 10
Are the graphics all happy and stylized, with vivid colors? Yeah. That's where "for girls" part end, if you can even call it that. The progression and exploration in Terraria are _PERFECT_, this is the most videogamey videogame after Tetris. Asmon is missing out
Also, Valheim is basically Terraria with cool viking world and less insane equipment
The irony is there are still diehard WoW haters who believe this too.
I was an early adopter of this game. I put it down for a while but unfortunately when I wanted to start playing again you're pretty much forced to start another save file due to the extensive updates it's a shame a lot of the new biomes and updates are kneecaped for old save files. I have countless hours on my save and don't want to start another one.
This most recent update they've made it so for the future they can easily add more to existing worlds if needed. May be worth dusting it off
Most games are like that and will typically state that worlds might not be compatible with future versions until release.
You can still go into your old world, you'll just get a notice everytime. "You are entering a classic world, which lacks the latest content. Starting a new world is recommended." My world from Feb 2022 still works. I'm not sure to what extent the missing content is though.
This is why i don't play games like this in EA. It's always better to wait for more features or when it actually releases.
I havent played the game, but from what ive seen in other games, it would be totally worth it to start over.
Core keeper was recently added to Game Pass
Maybe I'm just old, but i absolutely love old SNES/Sega graphics style. Bad games can't hide behind shiny visuals.
The music alone is fantastic. Just the right amount of chill with a dash of peppy so you don't ever feel like your getting lethargic.
people always think terraria is 2d minecraft because it was released after, but minecraft has borrowed more ideas from terraria than the other way around
Man, there's always too many games to play, but Terraria is a must play. I've put 1800 hours into my game over the years, and I actively HATE Minecraft. If he liked Valheim, he's probably going to like Terraria too
Terraria has more depth than Minecraft. Both literally and figuratively.
I love Minecraft but the beautiful chests and biome crates in Terraria are works of art. Puts Minecraft to shame.
Maybe next decade we will get different wood chest types in Minecraft. /s
@@MichaelPohoreski exactly. I just have to mention MC because everyone's first impression is "2d Minecraft" when they look at it, and Asmon is going to classify that as a girl game if he only glances at it.
I dunno the 2D of Terraria is a pretty big turn off. I tried it and turned it off in about 15min.
@@matthewmammothswine4395 to each their own, but you missed out. There is an amazing progression you go through, and you'll never see anything cool in 15 minutes. At the start, it's hard just to walk to the edge of the map, but half way through the game you'll be soaring through the air raining meteors down on all the enemies while you prepare for a boss fight. Being 2D means it can have more complexity in other areas.
@@signa8 I can totally get the appeal for people and why they like it but what you described makes it clear it’s definitely not a game for me. I’ve never played Minecraft or Vallheim either, they just don’t appeal to me. I’m much more into something like Subnautica, Kenshi, or No Man’s Sky that immerse you in to the world with emergent story telling and gameplay.
It's okay. But after playing Terraria and other games similar to it, Core keep for me lacks in content.
Also enemies get stupidly powerful later on. Never liked such difficulty spikes and yes I've gotten the end game armor and so on.
Sounds like a skill issue lil bro
@@Dafool11 It's not a skill issue when enemies did half of your health in damage in one hit.
It's the most boring type of difficulty setting you can have.
A similar game that had 13 years of update had more content than a new game. What a mystery it is, I wonder why
Terarria was the same way. Had years of development and updates. First time I played it the last boss was Wall of Flesh. Hope to see Core Keeper do the same thing.
@@Dafool11 It makes sense when he played the Calamity Terraria Mod. That shit is insane in terms of content, bosses and difficulty.
“I like streaming, talking and hanging out” . Likewise, assmongler has been my go to cleaning / listening while I’m grinding POE content cause it slightly gives me the vibe that I’m hanging out AND even if I don’t always agree with his opinions I genuinely appreciate that they are at least calculated and thought out cause sometimes it makes me rethink sometimes.

core keeper would be awesome with a few relatively minor changes. boss and combat being improved to be a bit more like bullethell games, with spells on your bar as well as the items in your bags. there are a ton of bullethell top down games that excel at this, they could copy from some of the best of them. and they coul have difficulty set as a setting on the map.
more endgame content - last i played it was basically "get bronze ore, make bronze stuff, get silver ore make silver stuff, get gold ore make gold stuff (not the names of the ores but the same progression, and not much in terms of totally new gameplay as you went along that path, just your items hit harder to break the higher level ores/monsters. they could add resist gear, gear with stats, etc.

@@braumski2 Core Keeper has been in early access for a 2 years and certain aspects feel really off. Like you said the summoner and mage are weak. My experience is it due to mana.

I missed out on a lot of variety in games. At 31 I’m just now getting into play games like the Legend of Zelda and all sorts of other games. I have had Core Keeper for over a year now and got my wife and nephew into it, so I’m really glad to see how popular it’s getting!
This game reminds me of Terraria, Asmon should play terraira too.
Terraria is one of the best games ever made. Core Keeper built off Terraria....
Core Keeper was referred to as a Terraria-like. TERRARIA-LIKE. Just like the SoulsBorne games and the Soulslike genre, do you know how big of an impact and how good a game is to be referred to as a subgenre? That's just how good Terraria is and yes, I highly recommend it
That make no sense be we saying cod like or halo like for FPS games for years it ain’t a sub genre it just a easier way to compare without explaining
Some of Zack's takes like saying Terraria is for girls, always makes me remember why some of his takes in Diablo franchise are kinda dumb... he never played D1 and D2, and than good things he sees in new ActionRPG games he is like ''oh.. so same like in PoE"... Imagine if another MMORPG came out, copying WoW and other people reference that game instead of WoW... and than someone tell it comes from WoW and that person says ''oh.. I always thought WoW was for girls, with those Disney cartoonic graphics, g4y elfs and panda bears''... Its just stupid, but I am glad he likes this type of games, because they are fun... and I like Zack, so it is what it is 😂
There are "gardens" in Empyrion Galactic Survival to, but that game is a decent horror game and brutal sci-fi where your flying a "tin can" most of the time that will turn into swizz cheese in seconds if not explode on first accidental first contact with a hostile.

Since then 90% of the games I play are indie or smaller studios, & they're so much more fun than the corporate games have been.
this dude has become moistcritikal, he just makes videos and expresses the public opinion.
Cr1tikal fell off ever since he said children can consent
Dunno, mate. 'Terraria and Stardew Valley are basically the same' and 'Terraria is for girls' don't quite seem to be "public opinions"
You should really try terraria
Asmongold could not be more wrong calling Terraria: "A girl game" P.S. Terraria is better than core keeper
Judging by how many of his viewers are offended that he refers to terraria as a girl game is kinda ironic
i think the thing that sold this game for me is you arnt limited on where to go really even if you cant mine something you can find a way around it, you can explore regions that will one shot you 3 times over the hp you have but you can still kill the mobs there and if your lucky and find a set piece or a mob drop you can use it and it'll be way stronger then what you're ment to have at that point but it wont level lock you or force you to grind skills to use it, you can definetly sequence break but there are certain things that keep you in check like needing to craft better furnaces to smelt ore you otherwise cant use, so you still need to go back to lower zones either way.
If all things go well, I really hope this game will be in the same level as the 2 Big Boys of this genre, Minecraft and Terraria..
Atleast its not embarrassing as Concord
You can’t convince me asmond is not pushing these games he finds.
- Looks at corekeeper gameplay that has many aspects of terraria
- Gives terraria 0 recognition despite shouting out a game that has clear similarities.
If these random game spotlights are not a shadow ad then… 🤷🏾♂️
Or perhaps he simply finds these games more appealing?
Side scrolling like in Terarria can be a big turn off, top down feels a lot more intuitive for this kind of gameplay.
He thought Terarria was a girls game, so he probably doesn't know enough about it to give it any credit in this regard.
this video seems like a paid advertisement. He's a little too enthusiastic on this one...
Imagine Asmon discovers Grounded, sure the game looks bit cartoonish and is literally (honey i shrunk the kids) in a game but has Souls level combat and is in general brutal.
souls level combat? what, we didnt play the same game, or maybe they make an update or something that i didnt play
Love Grounded. Great survival game. But I’m just a huge Obsidian fan in general. Love that studio.
"Terraria 3d" comments sum it up perfectly.
Interesting, might try it.
Asmon should try Terraria, it's fun and challenging on Master mode.
terraria isn't a girly game at all some bosses can actually very hard and it doesn`t even have any "girly game" attributes.
you should play it the combat is amazing and there are more than 500 weapons
you start as a normal soul and go through a perfect progression of killing bosses getting better armor and weapon for your class and just continue this until you become a god slayer.
dont even get me started on the mods terraria calamity makes a nearly perfect game even more unbelievably good
This is what open world games originally meant, before Ubisoft came along and turned everything into a map marker linear story.
everyone here is so pressed about his terraria comment, i just want to know what everyone here thinks about core keeper. what im seeing looks very very fun.
I got core keeper a while ago.
Spent like 4 hours making bridges across underground rivers look good.
Also made enemy farms and large scale farming for food.
Rest of the time was exploring and traveling to the bosses.
Great time
asmon playing terraria and collecting all the mounts /wings would be cool
The thing is, the game is also on game pass. He's showing the steam chart of it. The amount of players playing it rn is way above 50k
Wish this game had local co-op. Would be perfect for it.
