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.

Not bad, not good: B-

This is an OK game. +++ It is a solid offering of the 2d survival crafting genre. It has some limited exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and fighting. Multiplayer support is present with no real issues. --- Adding multiplayer does not scale well. Gathering enough resources for everyone is a bit of a pain and did not scale well as you add more players. Somewhat bland mechanics and feels grindy. Still in early access....

Great mix of terraria and minecraft while still having it's own mechanics and it's own things. It's very fun. The only problem is how fast you can go through it currently, but it's still in early access so more content will be added over time.

Absolutely great and its only getting started! Early access but still a whole lot of content. With inspiration from games like Terraria, Factorio and a touch of oldschool isometric RPG with levling elements and a skilltree affecting your stats.

I got this to play with my kid, and then ended up playing for three hours by myself while he was asleep. I love tending my garden. All the gameplay elements are really well thought out.

A Fantastic Game that's a mix of terraria/Stardew Valley and allows you to spend time investing in what you'd like. The Game is Early Access so the content is lower than the previous games mentioned right now, but I'm sure this will be rectified in the future.
