It takes a while to get used to and frustratingly there will be times when you’ll eat something before cooking it or burn flowers when really you wanted to weave them into a crown. Don’t Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition does a good job of placing the menu movement on the right stick, allowing you to scroll through items quickly and then press certain buttons on the D-Pad in order to either eat, drop, store, burn or plant, depending on the item and the context. So, let’s get back to those controls, because with a game this tough, you don’t want to be further hampered by bad menuing. However, should you start to lose your marbles and shadowy creatures appear on the screen, eventually becoming reality and chomping you into a void of madness induced death. These are obvious to survival eat food, fill your belly and be healthy. This is a nice feature of the game, because it removes just hunger and health. You might be killed by bees if you disturb them or perhaps you’ll eat the wrong mushrooms which will slowly drive your character insane. You’ll want to chop down trees to source wood for a fire, but at any minute one of the lofty fixtures of nature could come to life and destroy you. Of course, you’ll want an axe and a pickaxe, later on you’ll probably need a butterfly net and a hammer, but that’s only if you survive long enough.īecause it’s highly likely you’ll die quickly and a lot. As you wander the landscape and collect rocks, berries and mushrooms, lovely little sounds play out to inform you that you can now craft something. First things first, explore and pick up everything you can possibly see. In this instance, you seem to have been placed there by a mysterious, but incredibly dapper, gentleman. There are many different menus to scroll through when standing within a ramshackle base, so how would I craft items on the move? Would I be able to quickly fashion a spear from saplings and flint quickly, as a tree monster, a swarm of spiders or worse, barrel after me? I’ll come back to the answer to this, but for anyone who doesn’t know what Don’t Starve is, you will have no idea what I’m talking about.ĭon’t Starve is a survival game that opens in a similar way to other survival games you’re dumped in a randomly generated world and told to live out your days. Having already played the game extensively on PC, I wondered how the control aspects would move across. My initial concerns about Don’t Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition was one of controlling the character and the play.
