About Core Keeper
About this game
Core Keeper is a mining sandbox videogame published by Fireshine Games.
Protect Your Core
Players are tasked with keeping the core of their base protected from harm. The game features a variety of blocks and items that can be used to build structures and defenses, and players can team up with others to create massive fortifications. Core Keeper is a unique take on the mining genre, and it offers a challenging and rewarding experience for gamers who are looking for something new.
Play With Others
Your role doesn’t have to be a lonesome one, as you can play with up to seven players! Mine together, fight, farm, craft and survive — or take a break and check out their caverns instead. You might get inspiration to spruce up your own cavern!
Play Again And Again
With intuitive controls, Core Keeper is easy to pick up and play for anyone, yet offers a challenge that will keep even the most experienced gamers engaged. And with its procedurally-generated asteroids, no two gameplay experiences are ever the same. So come on over and join the fun! We guarantee you'll have a blast.

Core Keeper takes elements from most popular mining/farming games and makes them into a new, extremely fun game.
You are thrown into an ancient underground world with mysterious relics around you and have to survive.
Then the classic reward spiral starts and you go from running from enemies to turning everything around you into an endangered species. You start tearing down the entire world just to make space for farmland, cooking turns from a tool for survival into potion making to become an unstoppable force hunting giant ancient beasts to upgrade your weapons to then go hunt even larger ancient beasts.
Oh yeah and besides building mob farms, biome farms and hunting upgrades you also learn more about the ancient world and it's relics, that you can then use for even more progression.

I love this game! It’s very similar to Terraria, but I love how it’s bird side view, building rail tracks finally doesn’t feel like a hassle.
Can’t wait for the developer(s) to add more stuff for me to craft. The boss fights are fun as wel!

The game is a fantastic game with a lot of similarities to games like Terraria or Minecraft. However, currently there is a very slight lack of content, but the developers do seem to be adding new content regularly.

I only played 3 hours so far, but I love this game already. The exploration, fighting, and crafting all work well for me so far. The game does not hold you by the hand, and I like that a lot.

If you like Stardew Valley you'll love this game. Gameplay is pretty awesome and smooth for an early access game. Means it can only get better and improve.

Has potential it's like a combination of Minecraft and stardew valley.
The game progresses like Skyrim you do things and those skills level up.
However, the game is really hard for new players, due to the insane amount of mobs!
Make sure you have friends because you will need them!

The game is very well made and reminds me of Terraria, but from a top-down view. It has room for improvement in a few key spots such as content, but since it is still Early Access that is not an issue.
