  • Indie's Review #1!

Due to convenience reasons, SHS will no longer be operating on this site! We are now located on facebook and are using discord for the chat. For information, our discord chat is here: https://discord.gg/84ue8Vv. It has been a pleasure meeting and serving everyone on this website, but if we wish to move on, we must start fresh in a new location. I hope everyone understands and we hope to see new and old faces. With all that is said and done, SHS is officially up and running again and we had our first tournament on 2/24/2017!! As discussed, we can still hold the 10 year anniversary party. - Thanks for you understanding! With love, Pijy

Minecraft

A small Indie European game made by a man named Notch, this is a building game. Let me be first to say this lego-style of appeal and building is what makes this game, and this is currently gaining publicity for that, fast. The Classic version of Minecraft is completely free, while the new "Alpha" version is currently about 10 Euros (12 USD) I will mostly be focusing on the Alpha version, but not completely.

GAMEPLAY

Minecraft has a 3 primary modes,

Creative: You can build anything for free, no health bar, invetory, all you just gotta do is build, look below for examples.

Survival: You have to chop, mine, sheer, dig, and cut for your items, during the daytime. During the night time, enemies such as Zombies, Spiders, Creepers, Skeletons, and Slimes come out with one goal, to kill you. You craft all of your items in this mode, so everything is made by you. Players start on a randomly generated world and explore it to find these items and to, well, survive.

A picture of a randomly generated survival map in the new alpha mode.

Adventure: Dungeons practically, like a 1st person shooter mission, pretty straight forward.

Currently, only the alpha version has survival to it at the moment, Notch is currently working on multiplayer for it and updating it once a week. Classic has all three modes seen above, the multiplayer attracts a lot of people to build together.

9/10 (Current)

GRAPHICS

I cannot grade these graphics honestly, some will hate them, some will absolutely love the lego-stylized appeal. I for one love it.

-/10

SOUND

Probably the only thing lacking in this game, there isn't much to it. There is the moaning of the zombies, footsteps, and some occasional dark or peaceful music depending on what you're doing, but nothing truly spectacular.

7/10

OVERALL

This is a game you will be playing a damn long time, so be prepared to lose what life you have left. With the good community, the constantly updated game, and the variety of what you can do in this game, you'll want to play this!

Buy it now, it's half the price during alpha!

9/10

And now, some creations by people in this game, and some random pics.
