About This Game

Unlimited Terraforming and Building in your own Procedurally Generated
Smooth Voxel World.



Explore, Adventure, Craft, Build, Survive. How will you shape your world?
Astral Terra is a fantasy-themed sandbox world-crafting game for PC with RPG and survival elements. Set in a beautiful smooth voxel world that’s generated on the fly and completely editable, no two players will have the same experience, as everything from the skills you learn to the world you play in is fully unique and customizable. Explore the endless realm of the Fae Sanctum as a Planar Warden and pick out a piece of land to build your fortress via your unlimited power to terraform and build. Gather resources for crafting and building or just explore the various biomes for the sake of discovery. From character progression with abilities and powers, to the terrains and the environments, everything is procedural and editable! Shape your world and your character the way YOU desire! Play alone in single player offline mode or or join friends in multiplayer online mode to collaborate. Astral Terra has automatic online hosting of your world with no external server setup, with options for worlds to be public, password protected or private.

CORE FEATURES

  • Play Your Way! Shape Your World! No starting Archetypes – your character, a Planar Warden, grows the way you want them based on your choices(skills) and discoveries(items). Pick from 3 starting races: The Fae, Dark Elf, or Dwarf for character races.



  • Unlimited Terraforming. You have lots of choices for editing your environment using the Kinumon Astra(Magic Cube). The tool is one of your core world powers so gathering materials is not needed. Add or remove land, change textures and more. No restrictions on terraforming.

  • Unlimited Build Tools. You can build using multiple shapes, materials & prefabs. The tool is one of your core world powers so gathering materials is not needed. No grinding required.

  • Next Gen Dynamically Generated Worlds-With a robust modern smooth voxel system, our worlds are generated on the fly every time a player starts a new game (or load up your saved world that you already worked on). Simply put in a seed and see a new world every time!

  • Discovery & Adventure-Unlock the mysteries of the world through exploration and discovery. Explore underground caves & find rare minerals for crafting.

  • Mining & Crafting-Gather ingredients & resources from combat drops OR from mining your land to build new weapons and items. Check our wiki for more details.

  • Skills & XP-Gain XP through combat, harvesting & exploration. Choose skills based on the type of player you want to be. Check our wiki for more detailed spell listings (basic powers and spell tomes available at launch, new advanced skill system coming soon).

  • Survival & Combat-Fight and kill aggressive mobs that also want to kill you. (bloodfiends and grottonoids in caves so far - more coming).

  • Solo & Coop-Play alone in offline single-player mode or Invite friends to join your multiplayer online world via the in-game server browser. If set to public, your friends will see your game and can join you – all done seamlessly without third party software (online private and public mode). Online play is set to a current limit of 10 players per room/world.

STORY


[1 THE BEGINNING]
In the beginning there was the formless warm gray.
There was neither light nor darkness, nor form nor striving.
Yet in time, there was the slightest movement in the gray.
So slowly at first, that none might notice, even had there been one to watch.
Over eons of uncounted time, the gray gathered itself in a single place.
A thing like a smooth gray egg coalesced, then shrunk and contracted until in an explosive burst,
The Two were born: One of Light, the Other of Darkness.
The Great Lovers, Lakana the White, Goddess of Light and Order, and
Visaku the Black, God of Darkness and Chaos, blossomed forth into the universe.
[2 THE FIRST CHILDREN]
In the fullness of time, the Two begat the First Children. The Firstborn was enigmatic.
They named him Davanu, and tall and proud,
Crowned with mighty horns and lusting always for power.
Red is his color.
Next in their line was Da’lea the Green, joyful and merciful,
Prone to rapid change in mood, but mighty in her generosity and mirth.
Finally, in a pregnancy that nearly killed Lakana were born the Four:
Ravanyx the Golden, fiery in both temperament and appearance;
Vaya the color of Sky, fast and effortless in motion, controlled by none;
Nitluru the Brown, dwarfed and sturdy, slow to anger, but mighty in wrath;
And Tagaryl, green like the Sea, cold and deep, filled with secrets...

Completely unplayable! 1st Game : My cursor was locked to a small area of the character creation screen. I couldn't click on anything and had to kill the game in Task Manager. 2nd Game: Got past the character creation, but game locked up on loading. Had to kill it in TM again. 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th games: Spawned below the earth each time, couldn't move, couldn't do anything, but fall. Even though I was in window mode, cursor was locked to screen. Hit crtl-esc, tried to close the window, cursor got locked back to screen again. Had to kill it in TM. Also each time I went back into the game , I had to redo my settings, since nothing got saved. 9th Game: Took atleast 5 minutes to create the world. Once again I spawned under the world and couldn't do anything. Also learned that once you pull up the help menu you can't close it, and then you can't do anything but exit out of the game. 10th game: Same problem as 1st game. 11th game: Was able to play, but no sound. Was unable to havest a...

This is very very, very early access... I only see myself playing this game in 2-3 years from now, if it's still alive by then, but I fear I just lost 12 bucks on this one. edit april 13 2020 : If the Dev update throws you off in 2020, don't bother, this is a scam. 1 : went to options, full screen, got stuck, ui is even worse then I remember, not even error messages if you do something wrong, no messages as to basic navigation even. 2 : somehow world generation is worse then I remember 3 : in all these years, still didn't find the time to improve character movement, I completed Unity tutorials that achieve better feel then this garbage 4 ; still the same 3 classes as 5 year ago, still the same very limited craft list from 5 years ago 5 : all I noticed that got added is a bunch off mobs that look like a stoned guys bad fantasy and just mindlessly roam and attack, spawn all around you this is a scam, and a very bad one, I can't believe this game gets to live and that the dev can keep s...

Ther game is fun. The building system is different and interesting. I have a good gaming system, but the framerate will never go higher than 8-10 pfs. this makes the gameplay choppy and irritating, even with the settings at the lowest they can be. with 3.1 ghz quad core processor, 12 gigs of ram, and a new nvidia, i should not have a problem on the lowest setting. Some work on the speed and this will be a really fun game. :-)

Meh... I like it but I'm also easy to please. No crashes on my PC or laptop though the FPS on laptop is low(I expected this though). I like some of the building and RPG features but the game still lacks in the content area. Some controls are pretty standard while others take some time getting used to. There is a little tip UI on the tools so that helped. Get it on sale if interested, probably not enough game here for the full $15 but $10 might be fair. I wish they would take some of the mechanics from Creativerse - if they could make the control more smooth and add more content I think that would be good. I like the look of the game, hopefully they can spend some more time on the mechanics.

EA. Jury is still out. Hard to place blocks in its current state but you can build right away. Doesnt seem to be any requirement for ingredients yet. The blocks all look really nice. Otherwise it seems to still be in alpha stage. It crashes frequently. Laggy as hell. I built a pond with the terra forming tools, it was pretty cool.

Wow, amazing, I can't wait to see what the developer will do next. ... Because they cannot possibly do worse than what they've already done. I never thought I'd be saying this but (and I do believe Jim Sterling would agree with me on this) ... I would actually rather play a game by Digital Homicide than to play this fucking piece of shit. Astral Terra makes Forsaken Uprising look like a limitless budget, AAA title by Hideo Kojima, starring Brad Pitt. WARNING: DO NOT FUCKING BUY THIS GAME! If you already made the terrible choice of buying this "game," try to get a refund immediately. I thought the fluid simulation would be worth it, if you get the game, you will see that it is not (not that the fluid simulation itself doesn't function, it does even with minimum specs) ... if you can even get your ugly character to stop floating under the terrain to use its ridiculously clunky, non-standard controls in order to navigate to or create a water source, ... just before it crashes. Astral Terr...

This game is fairly pretty but at this point seems more like a really nice jogging sim. I know this game is in early stages so I'm ready to forgive the lack of stuff to do. I am, however, one of those ancient gimps who needs the Y axis reversed in order to play video games. I know this is so much my own issue but, on behalf of all the other gimps out there, I'll have to decline to reccomend.

Just another bad game. Clunky interface is game breaking. Needs a LOT of work. But updates are few and far between, so most likely a cash grab.

This game has been flooded with unfair reviews! Yes, it is still in Early Access but if you actually invest time playing it you will find that it has quite a bit of fun content, and mostly bug free! The developers are very active with the community and take all feedback seriously! The gameplay is where it's all at and I can tell you that as a internal tester you will be quite pleased to see what is coming in the future in regards to the gameplay aspects! So in closing I would just like to say that--> "Do Not Base Your Purchase of a Game solely on it's Reviews!"...
