DIG OR DIE REVIEW

I was given a PS5 code from Publisher BlitWorks @BlitWorks Developer Gaddy Games @GaddyGames

This is released in the UK on the 5/6/2024 and in the UK is priced at £7.99.

INTRODUCTION

You crash land on a hostile planet where you have to build the strongest defenses if you wish to survive you must build a way to escape.

FEATURES

  • Plants Simulation plants naturally grow and spread if their life-conditions are met. Create some farms with artificial sun lamps and irrigation.
  • Procedurally Generated World Major areas locations are specific to benefit from a logical game progression, but detailed layout of surface, caverns, ores, etc. are unique at each playthrough.
  • Crafting You dig minerals, harvest plants and kill some monsters and bosses in order to craft better items and defenses. But the digging is really fast, your inventory space is infinite and all crafting recipes are displayed, so you don’t waste all your time on grinding or wikis and can concentrate on setting up better defenses.
  • Base Construction You build a fortress, not a holiday house. So you won’t find hundreds of flowerpots or tapestries, but rather turrets, strong walls and useful machines. Remember the Starship Troopers or Aliens movies atmosphere!
  • AI Companion your crashed ship contains an AI that survived and will give you useful advices (or not!). Build him a drone so he can follow you and even help you fight the monsters!
  • Difficulty Progression only the species of monsters you have already killed before attack during the night (they must have taken ill!). So you can progress at your own pace and choose when you are ready to move forward and fight stronger monsters.
  • Intelligent Monsters they will find the best path to attack your defenses. And be careful: even if they can’t move through walls, they can still destroy them!

FAN ART

Enemies all have own looks and all have own attacks and will actively seek out ways to get into your base to kill you.

World is big and full of life and has loads to find when exploring and secrets to find.

Build options are impressive as alot to build from bases to gadgets and more and all have own look and feel, uses.

Armor, Weapons all have own look and all have own feel to them and own stats aswell.

Difficulty options are nice as alot of them to suit all types especially liked peaceful mode as can explore and not get rushed at night by enemies trying to kill you.

Story is interesting and fun.

Tutorial is nice and explains the game well and can be accessed at any point is nice as incase forget something or need reminder of goal.

Can be clunky on a controller for swapping between items, or placing structures like trying build bridges.

Very challenging game as ended up playing on peaceful difficulty setting found very hard to survive at night and made exploring frustrating.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall has cool enemies with own look and own attacks and the world is fun to explore and feels alive with loads of build options to make bases and more as all have own feel and uses with cool weapons and armor all have own stats, look and own feel to them with nice difficulty options to suit everyone and has a nice story with good tutorials. However for £7.99, can be clunky on a controller for swapping items, placing stuff like base items or bridges and very challenging game where you die alot which can be frustrating.
