The open-world survival RPG genre is rapidly expanding with brand-new games being released every week on Steam, many of which take inspiration from the critically acclaimed space exploration game No Man’s Sky.
The recently released StarRupture is a brand-new open-world survival RPG that has officially hit #1 on Steam’s top trending games (via SteamDB), and it brings in gameplay elements that fans of games ranging from No Man’s Sky to Minecraft will appreciate. It’s currently available in Early Access on Steam, with 82% positive user ratings since its launch earlier this week.
StarRupture Could Be Steam’s Next Big Thing
StarRupture could very well be Steam’s next huge open-world hit and is currently gaining serious traction in the Steam charts. It’s a first-person survival RPG that features extensive base-building components and both solo and cooperative multiplayer modes. Developed by indie studio Creepy Jar, the minds behind Green Hell, fans of the genre will definitely want to add this to their Steam library.
StarRupture features a compelling and robust base-building system and a huge explorable open world that will keep players on their toes with dynamic weather and environments. Players will fight alien monsters in exciting sci-fi FPS combat, and will mine and process resources to survive against the odds.
Currently, StarRupture is the #1 game on both the Trending Games and Popular Releases lists on SteamDB, with a 24-hour peak player count of over 28,000, which is certain to grow in the coming weeks.
There’s A Bit Of No Man’s Sky & A Bit Of Minecraft Here
StarRupture has a little bit of both No Man’s Sky and Minecraft when it comes to gameplay, with quintessential resource-gathering survival mechanics that fans of both games will appreciate. While you won’t be able to travel off-world and explore different planets, the planet players are stranded on “will surprise you at every turn” with “extreme temperatures … and a horde of aggressive alien creatures.”
The game is still in Early Access and has a ton of content updates planned, with a clear roadmap indicating new features such as additional biomes, improved endgame elements, and additional story components to roll out in the coming months. Further, you can get StarRupture at a slight 20% discount until January 20, so take advantage of that while you can.
Overall, StarRupture is a promising new survival RPG release that fans of open-world games will definitely want to keep an eye on as it expands during the Early Access period on Steam.
