Don't Starve: Reign of Giants Description
Don’t Starve: Reign of Giants for PC and PS4 is the first official expansion to the original survival action game developed by an independent studio Klei Entertainment. The expansion adds many new features to the game and requires the basic version of Don’t Starve.
Mechanics
The game world became even larger and more uncompromising, forcing the player to face completely new riddles and challenges. Some of the new features require a complete change of the previously used tactics, for example when it comes to resource management. Among the most important novelties in the game there are new bioms filled with never seen before creatures and collectibles. Some of them can be helpful in surviving, other can kill the player. The developers added two new seasons as well: autumn and spring. Thanks to that one can experience all the advantages and disadvantages of the whole yearly circle, including spring rains and summer heats.
Two new playable characters were added – actress Wigfrid and a young boy imprisoned inside a body of a spider, Webber. As the title of the game suggests, in the game the player will face completely new opponents – the giants. Among them there are such original creatures like Moose/Goose, Bearger, Dragonfly and Deerclops.
Technical aspects
Both visual and technical aspects of the game remain the same. The game still has expressive, hand drawn graphics that uses Victorian style and is filled with humor. The developers listened to the fans and added one additional save game slot in Reign of Giants.
