Video games are very popular almost every kid has at least played a video game before, well these video games get kids attention than they just don’t go outside but some games are educational like Don’t Starve but this game has multiple DLC also known as a different version of the game but the DLCs are called Reign Of Giants, Hamlet, And Shipwrecked add a lot more to the game.
Don’t Starve is about a game where you get to pick a character each character has benefits and debenifets where you survive in the wilderness with monsters and darkness which apparently kills you because of a thing called charlie and you need light to avoid him. In this game, there are resources to craft items and machines like the science machine which makes it so you can craft more items. You can fight these monsters with weapons like a Hambat, Spear, Axe the worst to use in combat.
In order to fight these monsters, you need to learn how to kite them meaning learning their attack pattern or known as dodging their attacks than making it so you have a chance of attacking them. In the game there are pigs… not normal pigs but its almost like as if they were human-like, they walk around and have little houses but if you feed them monster meat then they will follow you and help fight for you, not the best choice to use its better if you have rock lobsters cause they have lots of health best to use for fighting. Rock lobsters are only in the caves/sinkholes if you feed them one rock them they will help you and fight for you.
If you feed a pig four pieces of monster meat they will turn into a werepig and it will attack you. There are four seasons in the game Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter the worst of them all winter is the hardest to survive winter starts when you survived for 21 days then its winter so you better get prepared. In order to survive winter, you need a winter’s hat and coat so you don’t freeze and when you’re trying to get food too so you can adventure out longer.
Deercloyps a boss you can fight only in the winter but the only way to defeat is again kiting that’s why kiting is useful fr fighting so you don’t get hit making your health too lower and go insane making nightmares come out and possibly kill you. The only ways to get gold are in the desert biome and well also in the tall bird biome well tall birds live there a lot of them but they protect their eggs from players from getting them so they immediately attack you but kiting them is hard because they attack fast and they are fast. Most monsters are faster than the player but when they try to hit you they miss because they standstill when they attack making it so you can run away. Most monsters will attack you if you go near them so beware of where you are going. Some monsters are easy to kill like spiders because you don’t have to kite them you can continue hitting them until dead.
Now let’s talk about the characters there are plenty of characters to choose from the following: Wilson, Willow, Wolfgang, Wendy, WX-78, Wickerbottom, Woodie, Wes, And Maxwell Now moving on to Reign of Giants DLC characters: Wigfrid, Webber. Now Shipwrecked: Walani, Warly, Wilbur, And Wood legs.
Now The remaining two DLCs: Wilba, Wormwood, Wheeler, Winona, Wortox, And lastly Wurt. There are 22 characters to choose from!. Let’s First talk about WX-78 He is a robot made by Wilson and it took him 78 tries to make WX. WX is charged only by lighting and get a 7% increase in movement speed and restores 100 health and it also projects a light preventing you from dying at night, can also be upgraded with gears, each gear gives him +20 health, +10 sanity, and +20 more hunger if you eat 10 gears he will have the following: +400 Health, +200 Sanity, And +400 Hunger!.
Most characters have the same stats so no matter what character you choose is still a good character. My Favorite character is WX because of how cool he is and how Overpowered he is leading you to have a perfect run but there is a downside to our little buddy is rain he gets damaged my rain and every 5 seconds, his health goes down by 1 it is very hard to die by it because it does very little damage.
There is so much to this game I could write for days like about the characters and the food you can cook like how to make Meatballs which only takes 3 berries and 1 monster meat or just regular meat. There are lots of recipes to make in this game to help you with your health but some lower sanity but helps with health and hunger. It is good to make this stuff in a crockpot but you need the stuff to make it like you need 3 Cut Stone, 6 Charcoal, and 6 Twigs to craft it its helpful instead of picking 9 berries to fill your hunger its much easier with a crockpot because it lowers the ingredients (only 4 slots) just to fill your hunger with 2x the less food have to be eaten!. It’s better if you cook with your campfire too!
Crock Pot Berries(Not cooked) Berries(Cooked)
There is a lot more to talk about and I’ll make a part two to this and it’s that long hope you enjoyed this guide or to talk about what the game is about.
