About Volcanoids

About this game

Volcanoids is a base-building open-world survival shooter that replaces the boring old base with a steampunk drill. Alone or with up to 3 other crewmates, explore an ever-changing volcanic island, build out your drill, and fight hostile machines to reveal what's been hiding in the depths of the underground.

EXPLORE AN EVER-CHANGING VOLCANIC ISLAND

Explore a seemingly abandoned island cursed by persistent eruptions. Utilize your drillship's ability to travel underground to survive these eruptions as you discover new parts of the island, gather resources, and uncover secrets.

BATTLE ROBOTS AND DESTROY THEIR MACHINERY

Battle hostile mining robots of all shapes and sizes who roam the island's surface as well as underground. Capture any of their resources and technology that might be useful and destroy the rest.

CRAFT, UPGRADE AND AUTOMATE

The "drillship" is your very own mobile fortress. Customize it from the inside out using the building system. Progress through technology tiers to upgrade, expand, automate, and weaponize different parts of the drillship.

I was pleasantly surprised by how full, functional and extensible the alpha of Volcanoids was. I observed zero game-breaking bugs or glitches, and after my 2nd playthrough, i don't think there are any minor ones either (on the unmodded version of the game. Mods do introduce bugs in). I can't talk much about the story, since it's pretty much a placeholder. But what i can talk about was the gameplay loop. It was surprisingly gripping. The game does not feature any "survival" stats, but does feature a simple yet extensive production system that is located in your ship, which doubles as your base of operations. Mechanics were surprisingly more thought out for a game in its alpha state. Many craftables in-game can facilitate for a more fun multiplayer experience. Overall a solid experience, and for the price, it's a steal if you're into what the game's offering. Subtracted one star considering the rough edges that feel weird in comparison to the polish of the rest of the alpha.

A fun survival game in early access. Should be even better at final release.

This is a fun survival game. The drill ship is an interesting mechanic. Some balancing will need to happen between early access and final release, but the existing systems are solid and show a great deal of future potential. As of now, the devs are active so it looks promising that it will make it to final release.

Good game, but not very well optimized. Can be fun with friends. But I often found myself without a motive to continue. Still very impressive indie game and I would definitely recommend it, if you have at least 2-3 friends to play with.

Great concept for a game. I look forward to updates as iv'e been keeping an eye on the progression of the game though the years, and it has made some seriously cool progress. Some things I would like to see in the future would be first of all better textures, for a game released in 2019 it's kinda rough on the eyes but not a dealbreaker. Some story would be nice, maybe something on why you are here and something to do with rivals would be cool alongside an overall story. Otherwise, the game is pretty fun, nothing too deep gameplay is simple, but the progression never makes it feel like you're just doing the same thing over and over, it feels quite nice to upgrade and progress. Fights are really simple at first, but they start getting more chaotic as you go on, so that's nice. Overall I recommend you get this game on sale and wait for some more updates, but it's fun to mess around now with the game in its current state, I will be playing through the game before trying out mods.
