Some of you have heard of this game before, but for those who haven't, it's a nifty little side-scrolling MMORPG Sandbox. I know that sounds absolutely dreadful, but it's actually surprisingly fun. You mine or farm for resources to build a structure or set of structures(like a village), and as you explore more of the map(East, West, Up(there are floating islands) and Down(going far enough takes you to hell) you collect better weapons and armor. As you collect resources you can even craft your own items. As you build up your structure or village, more and more NPCs will join you and provide services, as well as defense of whatever you've decided to build(which can range from your classic phallic troll structures to complex and beautiful Vatican-style Cathedrals and cities.
You can get it for $9.99 on Steam.
If you really don't have the money/need to test it first, there isn't any anti-piracy protection so there are illegitimate copies abound, however you won't get any support or updates and it's kind of a d!ck move.
At the moment, I play with a friend over Hamachi(network and pass may come soon, depends on what she thinks) and we're currently building a super skyscaper out of wood and stone(mostly wood right now, but I may layer stone outside to better protect from meteor strikes). I'll post screen composites if you guys are interested.
