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.

Good fun pixel survival game that is in the same vein of Terraria. Still in Early Access, but in it's current state is still very fun and will should only get better as development continues.

Minecraft was the first 3D crafting game that got popular. After that came Terraria which had 2D side-scrolling instead.
Now, we have Core Keeper with 2D top-down view!
If you've played the aforementioned games then you know what to expect. It's the same style of crafting game—collect resources to craft equipment so you can collect more resources to craft more equipment. There are bosses to fight, items to find, and a large map to explore.

written April 2022 -- Great early access game -- cross between Terraria, Stardew Valley, and Astroneer. Love the chance to explore realms, find equipment. The game seems solid and quickly addictive.

The game is really nice and it relaxes me. My favorite activity so far is gardening. Exploring is fun and I can totally lose the track of time and wander far off my base quite quickly. The bosses are tough but once you think about the strategy, you can manage to beat them. I love how the exploration gets you to be able to craft better items and makes the experience even more pleasant.
I hope to see that the game will grow even more.
