Trove 06/28/2018

Voxel games are a dime a dozen ever since Minecraft became a culture-changing hit. So many have tried to ride off its wave of popularity by looking similar to it. Most of these are pretty boring, with nothing original about them. However, there are a few voxel games that bring some new things to the table, such as Trove.

Do note that to play Trove, you need to have Steam installed. Once you do that, head on over to this link to download and install it.

As soon as you boot it up and start creating your character, you'll find that there's over eleven classes, each with their own unique style of play. Since this game has no real story or lore, it doesn't need to feel constrained and they had a ton of fun with the classes. For instance, there's the Pirate Captain, a class that controls minions such as puppets or cannons. Another is the Dracolyte, which can turn into a dragon and burn their enemies down. A third is the Boomeranger, which wields a sword and...well, a boomerang.

You can swap between classes instantly, much like Final Fantasy 14, though you'll have to level it separately. Even though this is an MMORPG, pretty much all the content is soloable with enough skill. All in all, Trove is a fantastic game if you want to have a relaxing, fun time. It has a ton of different content and a relaxing endgame - perfect for long play while also being playable in short bursts.
