Fascination Sobre Core Keeper Gameplay
Excellent game. As you probably know, it's basically a top-down version of Terraria or Minecraft, but in my opinion vastly superior to both. Minecraft has hideous visuals, while Core Keeper is beautiful to look at. Terraria has the infuriating issue of being CONSTANTLY bombarded by enemy attacks, always preventing you from doing what you are trying to do. Core Keeper, conversely, is much more respectful of the player, typically allowing you to engage enemies on your own terms. It's also easier to prevent enemies spawning where you don't want them to be. So you have the freedom to build a house, craft items, farm animals and plants, and cook food without being constantly bothered (unless you set up your base in a spot with a lot of enemy spawn tiles, but you can remove those to "cleanse" it anyway as mentioned above).
Wood will be the first resource you’ll come across, and that will be all you need to get going once your character pops out of their mysterious pod.
Your first step will be to create your character. You can adjust your cosmetic look in a variety of ways, but don't stress out about this too much — you can change the look of your character later by crafting a Magic Mirror and a Dresser at the Carpenter's Workbench.
Invisible Items: Some placeable items are becoming invisible after the player dies/respawns. We’d all love to be able to turn invisible, but no item should have that much power!
The survival game genre often relies on repetition to pad out game time. You find a copper pickaxe to mine iron, tin pickaxe to mine iron, iron pickaxe to mine [the next best thing] and so on. Core keeper does the same, and while I wouldn't criticize it for just doing this, it's something I have to mention given that none of the other progressions feel meaningful either. A large reason for why terraria works is that when you come across a chest with an item, that item will likely modify how you play the game mechanically.
Your next step will be to place a Bed. Aside from giving you a spawn point, a Bed can be used to rest and restore your health over a few seconds. If you don't have a Bed set at your spawn point, you'll respawn at the Core if you die.
These three Boss fights can be attempted in any order, as soon as each boss is found. They're all pre-spawned at set distances in the world. Players may chose to prepare more by progressing through these first 4 tiers of equipment based on the materials found in the initially accessible biomes.
awards experience points whenever you do a relevant action (which I love), so running around will eventually increase your movement speed, and slashing slimes and creepy crawlers will help bolster your melee might.
You might also want to let the naturally occurring environment give you a little help along the way. Some resources — such as glow tulips or even little clouds of fireflies — can be just as useful when they’re left alone to help light your path.
I think the biggest praise I can give to the game is that I cannot wait to dig into it with a few friends over the coming weeks. It's the kind of game you can slowly chip away at over several evenings and the hardcore mode even offers some replayability down the line.

Once you feel that you have solid equipment, you're going to want to start hunting for Glurch. Glurch is the first boss; it is a giant slime that is constantly jumping in place. You'll have to explore the area around the Core and listen for a slamming sound.
My main issue with core keeper is that the progression of combat and the player character feels so incredibly shallow that I felt like I had played with the same simplistic combat since the very first minute of the game. There are "skill trees" but they level up very passively, and offer dull upgrades that don't affect how the game is played, but rather serve as slow boosts that reward you for doing the same thing over and over again. A milestone-based progression system in which you perhaps achieve certain feats to unlock these points could've made for a more engaging system, but even that would fall short due to the simplicity of the upgrades being offered.
