Necesse is an impressive open-world base-building survival and adventure game from developer Fair Games ApS, with a big update out now and you can try it free this weekend. There's also a 35% discount if you want to keep it.

Writing about the update the developer said:

As I talked about in the last update, we've focused more on making the progression and exploration less repetitive. This time around we’ve added new hazards to the snow, swamp and desert caves. The Deep caves will receive a similar treatment in a future update.

In the spirit of the Free Weekend and co-op play, we’ve also added 4 new staves that specialize in buffing your allies. But if you prefer to play solo, you can also give them to your settlers. If you enjoy playing a supportive playstyle, then these staves are for you!

And other smaller changes, like a new critter when exploring the caves along with a new crop and some food. This will make it harder to run out of food while deep in the caves :)

Some of the other features in this update include:

  • The Hoverboard now better handling and a dash ability!
  • Several gravel tiles that couldn't be crafted before, are now craftable.
  • More gems will now drop from the crystal mini biomes.

Necesse | Release Date: 12th December 2019

My boy and I picked this up and play together. The price was great and it has been good.

Development continues on it. There isnt any DLC yet. I suspect that a DLC could happen which is usually fine as long as it doesnt go the road of Hero Siege etc.

If you are on the fence about it and enjoy these types of games at all, it is a good lease on steam.

The trailer seems solely multiplayer focused, so as someone who pretty much exclusively plays singleplayer, I have to ask whether that's fun, or a slog the way a lot of multi balanced games are?
