In the world of gaming, it’s not a secret that survival craft games are not rare. They happen to be everywhere, so what makesBitcraft: Age of Automatalook special and stand out? Well, as opposed to the rest of the genre, this is looking to be an MMO where the players are encouraged to build their own towns.
So, What is Bitcraft?
The developer, Clockwork Labs, encourages you to build anything from a small settlement, to a global trade hub, or even a fortress at the edges of the world to offer reprieve from the environment. They’ve confirmed that you’re able to build anywhere that you would like. The premise of building your own trading hub in anMMOwhere other players can visit, rest, and trade is very compelling. Being able to have your own corner of a procedurally generated world really does just sound so unique and interesting.
Is There a Skill Tree?
Clockwork Lab has also talked about leveling and skills on the Bitcraft site. What you’re able to do to level your character’s skills in the world of Bitcraft isn’t unique to the game itself, but still a promising way to handle how it’s going to work. Instead of being forced to pick a set of skills from branching trees or take a specific profession, you’re allowed to level your character by practicing in the areas of the game you’d like to excel at. The flexible skill leveling system adds another layer of depth, allowing players to tailor their character progression to their preferred playstyle rather than being constrained by predefined skill trees or professions.
The Game Already Looks Charming
The game looks visually appealing, the hexagon shaped world blocks just work so well in providing a new look to an open world. S haping the world you’re in and having an impact on how the players and NPCs react to it all is a lofty goal for Clockwork Labs. This clearly isn’t an MMO made to rival Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft, but instead, I see some inspiration from Runescape and several other survival craft games. This blend of familiar mechanics and innovative features could make Bitcraft: Age of Automata a standout title in the genre. I’m looking forward to seeing where Clockwork Labs goes from here.
