Why Don't Starve Is So Awesome

When me and my little brother started playing, we came back to base one day to find it completely totaled. We agrued over which one of us did it, only for an asteroid to hit our base killing both of us instantly mid argument. To this day i remember it all vividly 😂

The thing I like most about don’t starve is how drastically your play style changes the more experienced you get. First time players do everything to keep their sanity up, for instance, but more experienced players know shadow monsters drop nightmare fuel, an incredibly valuable resource. The way you change your play style with knowledge really makes you feel like you’re conquering the world in a way no other game I’ve played really captures

I've been playing this game from Beta and the Journey and evolution of it has been purely incredible. It's one of those few amazing games where you can grab it with a few friends and scream with your friends for like 20-300 hours. I have so many memories of not only the Singleplayer version but also Multiplayer stories of utter mayhem. I think the game juggles survival elements really well and I think it's simply great!

As sombody with upwards of 600 hundred hours between xbox and PC on Don't Starve Together. It is a must play. You never know true fear until you have just killed the final boss and your in shambles, and then you hear the hounds barking. Truly one of the best survival games of all time. In my opinion it is highly underrated and deserves more love.

My most chaotic story in DS: I was playing with my friend who was new to the game. He was off mining while I was burning trees for charcoal. I saw a tree relatively far away from the others, so I burned it. I sat and watched, when a bird flew between the 2 trees and placed some seeds. I ran over to try and stop it, but it was too late. The fire jumped from the tree to the seeds, and to the forest. Before I knew it, 6 trees were already on fire. I called my friend over and told him that it was “quite urgent” I began frantically chopping trees to stop the fire spreading but nothing was working. My friend eventually showed up, froze for 2 seconds and just said “why”. We both spent the rest of the day frantically chopping trees to save the forest. Eventually, the fire reached our base but we came in clutch and chopped down the nearby trees. The bad news is that we lost 3/4 of the forest. The good news is that I could make the crock pot I wanted. All because of one stupid bird.

Don't starve together is my most played game on steam with 2500 hours and it's still my favorite game of all time to play.

Shipwrecked is one of the most fun games I’ve played and come back every once and awhile, atleast once a year. The fact that you can go on a perfect 20 day run just to forget a lighting rod, ruining the whole run, it might not sound fun but it’s the fact of learning in a very harsh and unforgiving world and coming back better. 10 out of 10!

I remember when I played with my brother in the same world. (2015~) No no. Not in together. One time I played and second he. We got to a very good point in a pig village and it was his turn... He went to a cave and died there... I didn't talk to him for days because of this... Its really surprising that I played don't starve before Minecraft... I have a lot of cool stories :3

Don't starve together at first glance is like the base don't starve but that's absolutely wrong there is so SO MUCH more in together... A LOT of endgame content a lot of areas to explore and a lot of insanely difficult bosses like a lot of them and it's being updated every 1-2 months and it gets even MORE content, areas , characters , bosses , etc It is actually insane how much love the devs put in this series

Perfect Timing for this Video to come out. My friend gave me a key for dont starve together a few weeks ago. I only played dont starve for a few hours years ago. We wanted to start again together so this just hyped me up even more

These many great comments illustrate the best thing about DS/DST: it’s different every time, often drastically so and people always have funny stories about their misadventures in the perilous world of the Constant. I’ve played the various versions of it for 10 years now.

Don’t starve is, if not, one of my favourite games of all time, only having competition with Little Nightmares, what dragged me to Don’t Starve was mainly the art style (and the due to the fact that it’s a survival game), I’ve been playing the game for a long while, although I took a 5 year break from it, but I can say with confidence that all those years back when I thought I knew all the mechanics and story factors of the game, I come back to it a few years later and I feel that overwhelming feeling I loved about it, especially giving me the nostalgic feeling of the first one. I’d recommend Don’t Starve and the multiplayer version to anyone, it’s a wild rollercoaster of emotions, and I’m glad for being in this journey through the Constant all these years.

Ah, one of my faves since 2013 :-) Stoked to watch this.

Running around the campfire while getting chased by 2 green spiders and 5 normal spiders in the night on 3 hp was my experience in dont starve.

I was playing as wickerbottom in a team, it was night and I put out a torch for me, so I gone into my bookshelf to read a book, but accidentally set the bookshelf on fire with the torch I was holding as well as the rest of the whole base of the team

It's one of those games I keep wanting to play more seriously, open up, survive for a couple ingame seasons and then lose all interest in for a year. I think the main problem for me is how much planning ahead is required. Usually I just open up a game and see where it leads me, I feel like in Don't Starve I have to know that beforehand. And when I haven't been able to play for a couple weeks I'm already completely out of the loop and feel like I should just start over to avoid critical mistakes. Maybe it's just too punishing for me.

Makes me happy when people talk about Dont Starve

Me and my friend started at the same time and we knew the wolves come after a few nights so we built a big wood wall, our base was by a river and not knowing any better we assumed we were good. So the wolves come and the walls work, but… what I forgot to mention was we didn’t wall off the river shore area so… as the wolves are attacking my friend Alex asks “wait you don’t think they can swim do you?” then ALL OF THE WOLVES jump into the water and we’re both screaming “THEY CAN SWIM!?!?!” and we died-

I have about 100 hours logged in dst on the pc, and over 600 logged on switch. Don’t Starve Together is probably one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. It’s one of the only games I’ve ever played that so consistently rewards being creative and experimenting. I still find myself learning new things every single time I play. And I love that. Even when I’m decorating my base, I find myself willingly doing math like a mad scientist to see if I can pull off some crazy stunt. Also if you want stories, perhaps the most insane recent one I have comes from the day 400 megabase world I’m currently working on on the switch. I started the game as Woody, and my friend as Maxwell. Normally he’s a Wickerbottom main and I play Wurt, but we both wanted to do something a bit different. I go around Murdering spider nests for the first 3 days to gather enough monster meat for a few weregoose idols. He messages the chat from the pig king village - we got a rare set piece our world just south of pk - the dev Graveyard. I drop what I’m doing after crafting the idols, and we full send getting a pig farm built inside of the graveyard. To those of you unaware, the dev graveyard spawns ghosts enmasse during the full moon, and pigs transform into werepigs if they are out of their house - which triples the amount of drops they give on death. Werepigs are bulkier than the normal pig, so it’s a high risk vs. reward scenario. So having a developer Graveyard is effectively a godsend. By baiting the pigs out and fencing them in, the goats can produce a few hundred meat for you at once in a singular night. Day 11 rolls around, we get Glommer, 4 stacks of gold worth of meat, and a full stack of pig skin in one go. AWESOME. We are thriving AND I can make a few meaty stews for my making expidition. I line my little lumberjack body up with the edge of the world. And then spread my wings and DASH as I enter register form. Only a short while off the coast, effectively cheek to cheek with shallow water (ie in catapult or canon range) I find Crab King. About 2 seconds of running after that, I hit the lunar isles. I grab the stone fruit brushes and the bull kelp, and run off off the south coast of lunar… only to run into Pearls island after another five seconds. Wow. It’s even closer to shore. Well I might as well Try to find the moon quay. I turn north and before my idol is halfway out - there it is. Mere inches off of our swamp biome. Ok… damn good world generation. Woody’s outlines his usefulness. I go back to lunar, gather the stuff to craft the portal paraphernalia, and make the switch to Wickerbottom.

You said to tell our stories, so here's mine: My friend and I were playing on a world in which our overall goal was to kill all of the bosses for the first time, though we didn't focus on that too much. I was playing as Wurt, and she was playing as WX-78. One day, I heard online that I could place spider eggs at the same place where I keep my merm guards and get free spider loot over time. I placed a few there to take advantage of this, and the guards seem to deal with the spiders quite easily. This led me to believe that I could place more in there without much issue, so I placed about 15 dens, and left them there for a few days. Once I came back, all of the dens were tier 3, and some even became spider queens. I thought the merms guards would be fine, but they were getting their asses kicked, and we were left defenseless, as we usually relied on the merms to defend us from hounds. I suggested that Shears (my friend) switch to Wendy so we could get Abagail to help, but the spiders were still far too overwhelming. Eventually, we had to resort to drastic measures: summoning the Twins of Terror to take out the spiders. Chaos broke loose when they were summoned, with the screams of spiders, merms, and mechanical eyes echoing throughout the air at every moment. It then got even worse, as a hound wave came to us at the worst possible time, lighting the hordes of enemies ablaze with their fire hounds. Eventually, through the use of countless life-giving amulets and nearly-broken tentacle spikes, we managed to take down all of the spiders. However, there was still one problem: The Twins of Terror were not yet dead. Sure, we could've just let them escape, but they were on such low health that it would be a shame to just let them vanish. Over the next few nights, we whittled down their HP whilst getting our asses whooped at the same time. We killed them after about 6 days, and it took even longer to sort out all of our dead bodies, loot, and broken structures. I even have a few screenshots of this story, shown here: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/678452522884792323/1116859576533389423/image.png

I'll never forget the game where i lost a 300day save because i clicked the wrong item in my inventory and accidentally ate a monster meat =_=

Blud looks like if sambucha and pewdiepie could have a baby

Considering the games he has rewieved so far, dont starve is so obvious to be next on the list

And then you like the game, so you check out the other games from them, and stumble upon Oxygen not included, where you can now starve a colony, truly amazing lmao 😅

Dont starve together is more than just a multiplayer version of the base game, it has more bosses, more content, new charecters and all charecters have been completly reworked. And best of all, its still recives new content. Its better unless you plan to play the dlcs of the single player game.

The first year is a speed run for the best gear to survive the longest, and I love it.

Once upon a time, several strangers were stranded In a land lethal, loathsome, and large. None got along, but the one thing they agreed upon Was the most basic of edicts: DON'T STARVE.

I introduced a friend to the game and he thought it was a good idea to go to the swamp, specially to the big reed forest that was in there I don't think I have to say that it was a reed trap lol

Back in the old days my friend was runing like 5 in game days from a dragon fly that was chasing him He failed, and quit dst

One time I played as Wes and there was another Wes and we robbed the base of their food and drove off on a boat, never to return

After widening my survival game horizons beyond Don't Starve, I was astonished that not all of them had permadeath. It felt so obvious that a survival game would force you to survive. It's that Roguelike heart (and also the simple, cartoony graphics) that caused Don't Starve to keep my interest when Raft, for example, could not.

YES! Finally someone acknowledges this INCREDIBLE GAME!

It feels good to see you doing what you love, i feel that you are interested in the games you review its so good to have a honest and real opinion on a game that made you happy i want to let you know that you transmissed that happiness and explained well why these games are worth it and for that i will always be around your channel Thank you for your work RoboKast PS : i was here at unturned times

My favorite story was during the first game I played with my girlfriend. She got jumpscared by a treeguard and in her head, the best course of action was to attack the treeguard with a torch. I was on the toilet while this was happening and when Icame back, we both were dead in a wasteland of charred trees and a pile of ash that used to be our liot with only the treeguard being still alive in the middle of it all.

Once I was trying out WX-78 and found a rook in the overworld. I go and scan it, making sure to stay outside of its range, only to accidentally aggro it. I got hit by it twice so I try to eat some gears but I accidentally eat a raw green cap and spawn two terrorbeaks. Needless to say I was at one hit KO range of every creature in the game for ten days straight until I went to the ruins and got some blue caps on the way.

Congratulations sir.... you are the 1st person on the Planet who has convinced me to play a game I that thought would be boring, and does look boring. Buying now... Definitely appreciate the content 😂👏🏽👏🏽

i had world 500 days and no death i was playing as wanda i started to starve i ate food so i did not die to starvation but because wanda ages(takes small damage over time) i did not realize that i was at age 79(wanda dies at age of 80) and i died i rollbacked but still i lost that no death run(i still play that world to today(i'm at day 980))

Well i started playing again today for an hour and died stupidly after day 5 I choose the viking girl with hear strict only meat diet. Ran around for 2 Days and got alot of resources. Enough Gold, Flint and Wood for ages. Seemed like a good start for me .I started to run out of meat and i could not find any mobs expect a angry pig mob that started chasing me. So i had to walk all the way back to spawn in the hopes to catch a rabbit there. Sadly i was missing some simple stuff to build traps and i was running out of time because i was nearly starving to death That was the point where i went full berserker mode and started chasing a rabbit through the forest for 4 Minutes atleast. Screaming like a real warrior whould. Obviously that 1 rabbit was not worth all that effort and i began to starve pretty quickly again. Had no other option expect going on frog hunt. Went pretty well when i consider the fact that i went for a 1v3 with 50% hp left The only problem was that i could not sleep the night prior and after chasing that rabbit i already started going insane. Spooky shadows start eating me while i was cooking my frog legs so I started running around my campfire in circles in the hopes to get them all cooked (what actually worked somehow with only taking a hit once) Now i had the energy to finally rest..... for 2 seconds got eaten by shadows at the end This game can be so random and hilarious at times that i cant get angry at all that progress i lose over and over again. I can only recommend dont starve even as a solo player. With friends it gets even more fun

The game has come a long way, there is so much more depth to it than 10yrs ago..I've been playing it on and off for the whole time. I'm glad it's getting some love in this vid

I finally got my base set up, farms, a bunch of drying racks to store meat, I was sitting out the winter, then this weird cyclops f**cker that I know from terraria came in and destoryed everything. This game does a brilliant job terrifying you. I was running through the snow with a lighter while this giant was chasing me in the darkness.

I keep trying to get into don't starve but bounce off, might have to do with how my brain works, maybe with a checklist and encouragement it can be done and I can finally enjoy the game.

I was using WX-78 and was going back to my base from the ruins right before the first winter, around day 20. It suddenly started raining, without an umbrella or thermal stone I had to eat half of the gears I got from the ruins clear just to survive and only managed to live with 3 health. I would have definitely died if I didn't have a star caller's staff to keep warm.

aima like any video that talks this well about dont starve

Thanks. Got a new one for my list. Just started stardew valley and terraria to

What I love the most is the insane level of skill cap it has

one time in a 4 player world, i was the only one alive, insane, at night, during winter, freezing, deerclops still alive, desperately running back to the base. and somehow i pulled us back together

it's my first winter mr deer comes destroys my base then dies then there are the hounds which come in 2 mins I die so I respawn half the map away comes mc tusk and ends me

can totally agree, got this game at the age of like 6 and have accumulated over 12 hundred hours

i lost a 186 day world to the death reset timer while in a loading screen going from the caves to the overworld

I've been playing for about a week. Most stupid death was when I made it to my first winter (about... 20-ish game days), and penguins hopped onto land. They weren't hostile, and that automatically made me assume they'd be cool if I started murdering their friends for food right next to them. I was wrong. The whole gang of them surrounded my character and absolutely annihilated him in like two smacks. I was so upset because it was (and for now, still is) the furthest I've made it in the game.

Don't Starve is one of my all-time favourites so I was very happy to watch this. I just want to mention that unless someone wants to play Hamlet or Shipwrecked there is really no reason in buying the core game instead of Don't Starve Together. Together isn't just DS but online. It has tons of additional content, new biomes and areas, updated Characters and some new characters as well, quality of life changes, more bosses and overall a lot more things to do. The game is fully playable as a single-player experience as well, since you have the option of just playing by yourself, and is still constantly updated. So overall, if you are not interested in the other two DLCs just by Together.

Green Hell is a fun survival game 🌿 it takes place in the Amazon and has a really compelling story mode

First time playing the hamlet dlc i didnt prepare for lush season, sneezed every 10 seconds (which drains sanity) managed to somehow survive, then learned that hay fever lasts one more day, thought i needed a cure and just let myself die to not deal with this anymore

Ohh I got this one story ingrained into my mind. I was playing don't starve together with my girlfriend and she managed to die to a hound wave in winter. I was in our base defeating the rest when she had the funny idea of haunting a white hound. This, in turn, turned it into a red hound. She did this the moment I was landing the finishing blow and would you look at that the forest our base is in is on fire. Suddenly, I'm watching the base burn as I'm being chased by the remainder of the hounds. Enough time passed for Mac tusk to respawn so he came along as well and as night fell deerclops started roaring. I consider myself a competent player but at that point I just accepted defeat

Ever have a torch in your hand, accidentally press the wrong button and directly set your entire base on fire? No? Just me?

one time i got my best friend to play it, and i spent the ENTIRE TIME keeping them alive. i consider myself a decent player, and i can usually survive winter, but i died 10 times protecting my friend from all the penguls that just invaded our base and the bees they started murdering. it was so fun, and they really like that game now, so its a win-win. 10/10 game

This game never clicked to me, and I love survival games

You are trying to escape from the monkeys in the caves in the shadow cycle and in time for the earthquake a stone falls on your head and you die.

This gives me a similar feeling harvest moon did. Time doesn't stop, everyday you gotta farm but you need to hurry or not do all of it because you need to spend some time each day doing the other stuff and you always feel crunched for time.

awesome review

I introduced some friends to dst, this was literally one of our conversations Me: Don't go to that desert there is a boss that will kill us Him: Alr gonna chop some trees Me: Just watch out since a boss can spawn if you chop a lot Him: Lol, gonna get meat then Me: Just be careful of the nest since it can grow into a boss xd Him: Wtf, are you gonna tell me next that fishing can spawn a boss? Me: About that XD

the long awaited don't starve video is here

I need more stories haha

Me and my friend currently have a world, i am experienced with the game and know quite a lot but never truly make it that far, my friend is new, it is the day of Deerclops, and oh lord, I (playing as Walter) took a lot of damage from a tentacle the day before after my armor broke mid fight, and so , my health and sanity are low and the night is upon us, im frantically panicking trying to get the preparations neede for the fight at my base, my friend isn't quite as panicked and tries to calm me down, then it spawns and oh god, I could hear the panic on her voice, I tell her to get the pan flute, and she does, we then spend the day keeping deerclops asleep and having me attack it, I dont know how we made it out, but by the end we were both sweating, and I think it taught her to be better prepared

I'm in the ruins loose all my sanity due to the plumonkeys throwing poop. i manage to get back up to the overworld and get to my base. in between fighting terrorbeaks i eat some taffee to get some sanity back. at dusk i decide to go into the swamp next to my base to look for green mushrooms, but i had already picked a lot, so i had to go deep into the swamp to find some. while i'm grabbing mushrooms it turns dark. i don't have the recources to buid a campfire or a torch, and i was panicking to much to find my minerhat. I end up using my marble suit to tank two hits from charly to get home and fuel the firepit. i roast the green caps and get to normal sanity. during that night the deerclops starts to make noises. i make a ham bat and kill it the next day. i rebuild some or the drying racks and i see the moose goose chicks spawn. i kill it which leads to two moose gooses spawning. one kills the other, and i kill the second. later that game the firehounds burn down all my chests and berry bushes and the spiderqueen spawns, and dies to the tentacles. i end up losing the game to two terrorbeaks preventing me from climbing the ruins rope, and getting finished of by freezing after getting chased around by the terrorbeaks at 13 health.

Theres a mod named Island Adventures that ports SW to DST

Well let's be fair to Austin here, I mean, you DID make the fundamental mistake of like, making your walls out of WOOD, come on, some stone is RIGHT there!!!

I currently bought the switch edition a few days ago (basically the solo don’t starve that has all 3 dlc) but I’m not gonna lie, I haven’t been enjoying it as much as I wanted. But I feel it’s partly for 2 reasons: 1. I don’t have many friends into gaming so I discovered this game all by myself & have no one to discuss it with which sucks lmao because even a solo game is a lot more fun when you have people to talk about. 2. Is because I don’t really know what exactly to look for after you’ve built the science machine and a secure camp fire. I’ve just been wandering around like a hopeless idiot with low sanity, food & health and from my experience, it seems even after feeding myself as much as possible, after the clock ticks and become daytime, suddenly my food drops even lower. I’m definitely gonna give it another try because I feel like I’m only not enjoying it because I’m lost. Once I find my way through the tricks, I hope I find it as fun as I hoped & I hope I can find more people looking to discuss and play with me.

Was playing with my friends, and as host, I sneakily turned on PvP, then I forgot I turned it on... my friend was lagging pretty badly and while two of us were singing by the fire, my other friend, who thought she was attacking an enemy was actually attacking me and glitched to me and I panicked laughed xD I chased her for a day while she ran screaming sorry x'D

crazy dont starve stories? My friend and I replaced all the turfs in the entire world with carpets so nothing would spawn anywhere and the only trees twigs and berries were in our base

DS is definitely not unforgiving. Unforgiving games are something like spelunky and noita. You make a mistake or you do something too quick? You're dead lmao or you lost something very important and you need to restart the game as fast as possible. While in DS, whatever bullshit happens, if you're good, you can counter it. In DST especially just because of these billion casual updates is even easier to live than in dlcs of regular DS. With farming you can just get infinite food and infinite heal crop combos for literally every season. -Healing, Hunger and Sanity, and if you are good with farms you definitely won't have literally any problems with seasons/hounds/seasonal bosses. Overall a good review for 25-50 hour player.

Never got it to work right, but I tried to make a mod where anyone with a razor could shave Wilson like a Beefalo.

My best Don't Starve Together story isn't one specific incident, but the result of many instances. The game isn't easy, especially when you have quite a number of different people dropping in and out of the runs, all at different skill and knowledge levels, but more often than not my mates could do ok for themselves for about a year in game. That is, until I joined. It seemed the game had it out for me, as just about every time I joined, no matter how well the run had been going prior to that moment, everything would fall apart. We'd be hit with devastating fires and lightning strikes, tough monsters would come out of the woodworks, and resources would suddenly go scarce. Sure, sometimes it was the fault of a players actions (both my own and other peoples), but most of the time it was sheer bad luck, to the point that we regarded it as an Ill Omen, I was the bringer of disaster, a walking challenge mode that becomes engaged with my mere presence. And it was always a hilarious clusterfuck of a time. Haven't touched the game in a few years, but I wouldn't trade my time with it away.

A survival game that's actually harsh and brutal.

Would love to hear your thoughts on Necesse !

I’d like to say that I’m “good at the game” at this point, but I still die to stupid stuff all the time. For someone who has beat celestial champion solo, Iv died to moose goose and moslings an embarrassing amount of times. No matter how good you get something is ALWAYS going to be capable of ending you(life giving amulets never leave my inventory because of this)

4:37 so don’t starve is basically life simulator

Buy don't starve together not just because you want multiplayer, it has way more content and is the only version to still be updated with new content

I would recommend new players to get Don't Starve Together regardless of whether they're playing solo or not. DST adds so many new things and massively goes in depth with its systems compared to regular DS. DS is still really good tho and if someone wanted a different experience after the usual DS/DST gameplay, the DS dlc's are great value.

my dont starve story ok so i had the panflute [something my friend adores because he likes to prank] and he had a fire staff, so he offered to trade his staff for my panflute, and after some convicing i accepted, but instead he stole my panflute and kept the fire staff, lit the forest into a huge fire, killed me, then died 5 minutes later himself

I tried to get my best friend into this... after dying 13 times before day 10 he quit and uninstalled 😭This is also me telling him the bare basics (by his demand btw..) He expected to have his hand held by the game 🤫

there was that one time i tried doing a tier 3 spider den and then fucking died of death

14:48 that's a weed that you didn't clear. You have to be aware of weeds and uproot them

I loved DS, but when DST came out, I kind of shifted my focus.

U can hatch the tallbird eggs and have your own little baby tallbirds

Next up; Don't Starve Together? ;)

Dst is one of my favorite game of all time, but my only complaint is that I've beaten nearly every boss in dst and all the new content is post endgame so I can't access it without days of grinding

Serious question. A few friends and I are trying to get into this game but if we play survival and one of us dies early on, and this will happen, what does that person do? Sign off or wait till we figure out how to resurrect or get items to do it? Or should we just play endless? We like the aspect of dying and having to start over, but the pacing is all messed up if people have to wait for everyone to die

It's a good game indeed

It would be interesting if you did a Dwarf Fortress video

Try brotato (vampire survivors but better), partisans 1984 (WW1 desperados 3). Hope you like them

I would highly recomend you look into Highfleet Scrapmechanic stalker gamma and the original 3 games propably the games i have the most hours if not counting rimworld.

My boy kast do face cams now? WHAAAATTT

You should play starsector, it's amazing

My don't starve story is that my bestie hates the game no matter how much i tried to get her into it and it makes me sad

I was playing shipwrecked the game glitched and it skipped a bit of monsoon season so I got hit by a surprise eruption and got hit by a boulder when I just entered the volcano and it was loading in.

i quite enjoy the upcoming update due to them adding something for stats in game, so people dont have to learn the game via wiki and endless searching which is what i so hate from this (and many other games), even tho i have 4.6k hours in this game i still need to use the wiki from time to time.

DST is actually based on Reign of giants, not the base game.

Why don't you make a torch and keep playing through the night? Can't u light a lone tree on fire to keep the area lit so u can keep gathering?
