Starbound is an independent 2-D sci-fi game that lets you both explore and build up a planet upon which you've crash landed. Despite similarities to other games, such as Terraria, Starbound differs in its series of planets and in its inclusion of RPG story content, including quests, within an overall sandbox core.
After creating a character from among the game's multiple races, you'll mbe able to discover thousands of items among the themed, procedurally generated planet upon which you've landed. This planet holds many secrets, including creatures, dungeons, NPCs, and more to find. Explore, craft, decorate, or even hang out and play music with friends. Or take on some of the game's story content, dungeons, and boss battles when you feel like progressing into something new.
