Don’t Starve Together is a fun but mostly stressful survival game that is best enjoyed with friends, I mean they even give you one extra copy for a friend. The art style is weird in the best way, giving it a dark fairy tale vibe. There is a lot to discover, from strange creatures to dangerous seasons that can ruin your day, and even your life. It can be really challenging, but that is part of what makes it so satisfying when you finally survive. Just be ready to die a lot before you get the hang of it and even after that.
Don’t Starve Together is one of those games that looks quirky and fun on the surface but quickly shows its teeth once you actually play it. It’s the multiplayer version of Don’t Starve, meaning you and your friends (or randoms online) are thrown into a strange, dark world filled with bizarre creatures, seasons that can kill you, and a constant need to balance hunger, health, and sanity.
What makes it special is how it mixes survival, exploration, and creativity. You start with nothing but a lighter, axe, or whatever your chosen character brings, and slowly learn how to craft tools, build camps, and survive longer each run. The hand-drawn art style gives everything a storybook feel, but don’t let it fool you—this game is brutally unforgiving.
The real charm comes out in multiplayer. Playing with friends leads to hilarious moments, like accidentally setting your camp on fire, getting chased by giant hounds together, or arguing over who forgot to cook food before winter hit. There’s a genuine sense of discovery when you stumble upon something new, and teamwork makes the game feel more rewarding (or more chaotic, depending on your group).
That said, Don’t Starve Together isn’t for everyone. It has a steep learning curve, and the game doesn’t really explain much. You’ll probably die a lot before figuring out how to survive longer, which can be frustrating if you don’t enjoy trial and error. Sometimes it feels like the world itself is against you, and progress can be wiped away by one unlucky night or mistake.
But if you’re patient and like the idea of surviving in a strange, harsh world with friends, Don’t Starve Together is easily one of the most memorable co-op survival games out there.
Don’t starve franchise is a fun series that loves to punish you for simply existing. But if you get over the beginning and restarting a few times, it becomes very fun. Setting up your base and beating bosses extremely rewarding!
A chaotic survival game at its best ! You’re dropped into a quirky, creepy world full of bizarre creatures, strange biomes, and a relentless urge to see you dead. It’s all about staying alive, but with friends to share in the struggle (or maybe to accidentally steal your last berry ^^)
The art style is what grabs you first. That Tim Burton-esque vibe is super unique and makes the game feel both eerie and charming ! It’s dark, but it’s funny 🙂 Watching your little character slowly go insane (and seeing creepy shadow monsters) is weirdly entertaining.
Survival here is no joke, you’ll freeze, starve, or get eaten if you’re not careful. Every decision matters, from gathering resources to setting up a campfire before night falls… It’s stressful, but in a good way! The seasons add another layer of challenge, with winter being especially brutal.
Multiplayer is where the game shines : It’s both hilarious and frustrating to watch your friends either help you survive or accidentally doom you all !!! Someone always forgets the fire, right? 🙂 Communication is key, and teamwork can make or break a run, but even with friends, it can sometimes feel punishing, especially for new players who don’t know how to deal with the game’s many threats
There’s so much to love, but the learning curve can be steep. The game doesn’t hold your hand, and figuring things out is part of the charm. That said, it can get frustrating when you’re repeatedly dying just because you didn’t know how something worked :/ Still, once you get the hang of it, it’s incredibly rewarding 🙂
Don’t Starve Together is a unique, challenging, and oddly hilarious experience. It’s not perfect, but it’s a blast if you’re up for the challenge !
The game is also playable alone, but more fun to play with friends.
While playing the game alone, it is quite harder and lonelier than playing it with friends.
I have myself played it alone and with friends also.
The game isn’t too easy to play, it’s more too hard.
In the game there is a lot to do, a lot to craft, you can explore around and see different biomes, can cook and fish and even ride with a raft on the water sources. Frogs are hostile in the game and will attack you.
If you cut too much of the trees there will summon a mad tree boss who also will attack you.
You got to be always on the lookout for food so you wouldn’t starve.
In the game you will get constantly free daily and holiday gifts for in game stuff.
Don’t Starve is a fun wilderness survival game with unlockable characters that possess uniqueness and skills they can use in their struggle. Your first character is Wilson, a gentleman scientist trapped by the demon Maxwell and dragged into the bewildering wilderness. Your mission is to survive by searching for food, fighting the dangerous inhabitants and finding a way to go back home.
You have the choice of either joining a server or hosting it. And you can make either a dedicated server (which will be around even if the host isn’t there) or just some quick fun. If you’re hosting, you have the option to make it private (with password or limited to only your steam friends) or public (wherein anyone can join)
There’s a variety of server types & settings like… if you’re into PVP, Casual, or Endless gameplay.
I would recommend it.
The world is customizable as it is in Don’t Starve, so if you and your friends are having trouble surviving the first few days, then you can just take the difficult down a notch. Safe if you prefer more of a challenge. Going with “Realm of Giants” is also an option here.
You get items, skins, and such as you go through the game. The collectibles are nice if you’re into that sort of thing.
In the unforgiving lands of survival games, where each decision can tip the scales between life and death, “Don’t Starve Together,” the evolution of the classic “Don’t Starve,” stands out as a cooperative masterpiece (hence the “Together”). As we venture into the twisted landscapes and peculiar challenges this game unveils, let’s explore this captivating world where teamwork, intelligence, and a dash of madness blend seamlessly.
The first thing that catches the eye when starting the game is its brilliant artistic direction. The cartoonish yet gothic drawings, the melancholic and whimsical music, the dreamlike and tormented atmosphere—all reminiscent of a Tim Burton film. The graphics are superb, the animations breathe life into the fauna populating this mysterious world, and the ground textures are silky. Just for that, dear readers, you’ll have to give the game a try.
The sound design is equally impressive, with satisfying feedback during farming and crafting and adorable or creepy expressions from the creatures
In terms of gameplay, we are thrust into a mysterious and hostile world where our sole objective in this roguelike is to stay alive for as long as possible. Two feelings overwhelm us from the very beginning: freedom and confusion. With no clear indication of what to do, the game lets us roam wherever we please, free from constraints.
If the game imposes this brisk pace, it’s because it will constantly throw obstacles in your way, never allowing you long periods of comfort. To start, time follows a day/night cycle. It’s impossible to wander at night without a light source (you’ll discover why 😉), and wood becomes as vital a resource as food. Your environment is full of surprises and generally hostile.
The game features an easy-to-grasp crafting system that allows us to instinctively craft our first items: an axe, a torch, a campfire. Our attention is quickly drawn to the three gauges at the top of the screen, corresponding to hunger, HP, and our character’s sanity. You’ll notice that the hunger gauge constantly decreases, and the sanity gauge drops contextually: darkness, unfavorable weather, the presence of enemies. Naturally, you’ll need to find a way to feed yourself regularly and relax your characters, lest your HP starts to dwindle.
However, the true magic lies in the fact that you are not alone. Collaborating with friends or other players online introduces a new dynamic, where communication and coordination become essential.
Nevertheless, while “Don’t Starve Together” offers a captivating cooperative survival experience, it’s not without its challenges. Newcomers can sometimes be bewildered by the initial difficulty, which may seem steep even for seasoned players. The learning curve can be a challenge, and the lack of exhaustive tutorials may leave some players struggling to understand the survival mechanics. Additionally, the procedural map generation is poorly balanced, and you may find yourself on maps with, for example, very little food. Good luck surviving.
In conclusion, “Don’t Starve Together” is a surprising and highly enjoyable survival game for those who love a challenge especially with friends. Get ready to spend dozens of hours delightfully breaking your teeth on it.
I love this game! Survive survive survive!
Don’t Starve Together has been an amazing experience. But that is because I played the original game and have a good understanding of the basics and intermediate gameplay. For the uninitiated it can be a long dark perilous road to making it past the first winter. I would however highly recommend buying this game and the single player version. With no in-game tutorials and no real tooltips you find yourself googling and asking other players for advice on how to deal with daily life. Everything kills you, especially your friends. The pace of the game may feel slow but soon the amount of resources to gather and refine become immense and turn this game into a fast paced race to gather the gear to survive the winter.
I have such a soft spot for this game. Its visuals, its music, its characters – all of it pops out in such beautiful charm, and the gameplay has such a simplistic style that it makes you invest in it, and the more you invest, the more you discover and thrive as a player. You are going to die. A lot. Whether it be to starvation, to the darkness, to your own insanity, or even to spiders. Don’t Starve doesn’t hold your hand. But you get better, you learn from your mistakes, and you overcome your weaknesses.
I rarely play online with strangers, but with a group of friends, it is a blast. Huddling together at night, working hard during the day, using your character’s strengths to work with those of others, it’s so much fun. You build and build until you realise that you’re all, in a funny way, a family. A bunch of people stranded and who must work together.
In closing this game has an unforgiving learning curve which is only magnified by the masses of new players who have never tried the single player experience. Prepare to fail many times through your own mistakes and those of others.
Get this game. It’s one of the best survival games I’ve ever played. Fun by yourself, amazing with friends. 9/10.
This game is great if you like survival games. It’s easy to get the hang of but it also has lots of challenging elements. Playing singleplayer is pretty challenging and I don’t recommend that for people who are new to the franchise. The game, after all, is called Don’t Starve TOGETHER. Multiplayer is great. If the host doesn’t have a great connection it can be laggy. 98% of the time the game runs fine online. There are so many character mods and music mods in the workshop for this game that it never gets boring.
This game is not so beginner friendly as players need to know where to farm specific items in order to survive the next season.
It’s a good and fun game with a lot of content and a variety of enemies and characters. At the start feels hard since there isn’t really info and you have to figure stuff out by yourself, with many enemies trying to kill you and some strong ones that make it hard to know what to do with them. Still good to play alone and more fun with friends, being able to set the world however you want with many settings.
I’m just not sure I enjoy this game as much as others like it. Every time I’ve played Don’t Starve (Together) it has been this frustrating experience of just sorta muddling around without anything happening, except starvation. If I didn’t have a wiki up at all times, I would quite literally never progress in the game, and I feel that’s a core issue with how the game channels players forwards in its systems. Don’t get me wrong, I think a lot of really great work went into this game, and the developers should be commended, but the experience of playing Don’t Starve is, to me, quite frustrating.
Don’t Starve was the first game ever out, then it released a better version which was Don’t Starve Together and I enjoyed it with my friends. The only problem is the game has too many things to do that require some time to learn.
All in all, I was shocked that the developers are able to create such a wonderful game on Steam which is quite similar to Minecraft but better with friends due to the fact that it has smooth loading and gameplay when in Multiplayer mode.
I have currently only 420 hours (nice) in Don’t Starve Together on Steam, and it is my most played game and that by itself says a lot about my opinion in this game:
It is fun, painful and sometimes rage-inducing, but fun after all.
It is one of the legendary sandbox survival trio: Minecraft, Terraria and Don’t Starve.
The game has an amazing community (albeit bad apples ruin the stash), constant FREE quality updates, daily skins by playing the game and logging in a few times a week, complete mod support, dedicated server support or local hosted servers.
The game has an amazing storyline that continues the already mysterious and macabre story of Don’t Starve, in which after Adventure Mode both Wilson and Maxwell reunite and decide to make a portal to escape the Constant, but their plans are ruined by the Night Monster, the Boogeyman, the the past Assistant of the Amazing Maxwell, and the new queen of the constant, Charlie.
Now, as you fight off against the new tyrantess and the mysterious eldritch forces of the Constant that lurk all around the corner and that slowly decay your mind you must also now face off against Them, the newest Big Baddies that dwell in the Lunar Island, a fragment fallen from the Moon itself into the Constant’s deep oceans.
Fight bosses, argue with your friends, slaughter pigs, spiders, bees, rabbits, chester and argue with your friends about who ate all the food. Embrace all the 4 seasons the game has to offer, although you will probably barely survive Autumn itself, but if you persist you can finally reach Winter, with an exclusive boss at the end of it and exclusive content only accessible during the season. If you survive Winter, you must now embrace Spring. Get wet (not in a good way), slippery, insane, angry, shocked and starving as the mama moose/goose protects her Fucklings (A.K.A. Gooselings).
If you somehow survive both Winter AND Spring, you must now face the hardest and most scary season of all: Summer. When Summer arrives, you must now HATE SUMMER.
Base? Burned.
Food? Spoiled.
Based in Oasis? I’ll put sand in your eyes.
Thought cold was bad? Well ain’t that cute?
And during the entirety of summer, appease the Might Antlion, or you’ll regret when she throws a temper trantum and causes an earthquake strong enough to shake you off your boots and destroy your base.
And after a WHOLE year, if you somehow survive all of that then you’ll finally have a moment of respite in Autumn.
But oh no, what is that rumbling sound I hear?
Don’t Starve Together has plenty of good points about it, and a large lack of cons, which already counts for a great part of the score I’ve given it.
Amongst the most important pros are the playstyles that you can take. Though the game is very simple at base, the implementation of characters with different dietary habits, different abilities, different requirements and differents strongsuits allows for an incredibly large complexity within the game. One can choose to be a dear resident to their own, self-sufficient, village OR a nomad, skipping from place to place, doing their very best not to lose themselves to the shadows of night in a multitude of ways. Is your interest a casual gameplay or a “Die once and lose it all” one? You can freely pick it out via the difficulty menu, which will also alter your need for food and plenty others. There are even classes to make the game harder, if you ever get bored.
There is one more important topic as far as pros go: How fun the game is with friends. Sadly, the game restricts quite a bit, as there are character specific crafts, which you will have to opt out for for whatever you want. Happily, however, it is incredibly easy for a friend to hop in as whatever you lack and help out. This is made even easier because, after you purchase a copy of this game (at least on Steam) you are also granted an additional copy, meaning you can give it to your friend, or split the cost to make the game a bit cheaper than it already is.
Discussing its cons, there are really only two main points here. The steep learning curve refers to the lack of a tutorial. When I played the game, I had my friends tell me what they needed from me and what I had to do, but if you’re all alone, it will be incredibly hard to play the game to its full potential without a bit of internet research first (though the process of learning by yourself could be a fun quest). The second con is a pretty weird one, common on servers ran by a friend group, and not a main source. There isn’t exactly a server for a person to play on. A friend of yours or yourself must create a world and open it to friends, so they may all play together. This also means, however, that only that person can open the server, so unless you know someone who is constantly online, your playtime may be a bit restricted on that world.
In summary, it’s a super fun game with plenty of playstyles, with space for creativity and (though not free) relatively cheap for the amount of playtime one could put into it. I’d definitely recommend it to any who are interested in survival games based more on strategy than your ability to shoot things.
Don’t Starve Together is a stand alone multiplayer version of the game Don’t Starve.
But besides the multiplayer aspect don’t starve together has been getting a lot of updates over the years which makes it stand out from its single player counterpart.
A big difference between Don’t Starve and other survival games is its character selection at the start of the game. Each character has his or her own way to play. Another big difference is its way of reviving your friend since they made it pretty punishing on the one having to revive you.
Like the singleplayer version Don’t Stave Together comes with mod support which can add some nice quality of life features or cosmetic items.
The game itself has cosmetics as well and you either get some for free during play or you have to pay money for them.
While the start of don’t starve might not be too difficult. once you get further into the game it can get a little grindy and or difficult to obtain the items you need to move on. Especially since it is not really clear how or where to get them.
I recommend Don’t Starve Together if you enjoy a challenge but make sure you bring a friend who has some experience with games in this genre because trust me it will get difficult otherwise.
