A playthrough of the early access release of Gombo, a cartoony crafting survival game. Various critters are getting twisted and you get to explore to find out why (and presumably put a stop to it).
Noticed this one a while back on Twitter and was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot to do in this initial release so I can't really recommend it in its current phase. Hopefully in the future I might be able to do so.
It does look good but there's a lack of music at most times and not much you can craft as you can get iron almost immediately to make the majority of stuff and gold ore isn't too difficult to acquire for the current best stuff. Magic is significantly better than the current weapons (that crystal crush one might be a little too good with how much you can spam it). Weapon and tool durability seems more of a nuisance since you can't repair and it seems like you get the materials back when your item breaks. You can explore more of the desert but it's pretty empty (and a few patches have sandstorms to block off areas).
Gombo can be purchased at store.steampowered.com/app/2649860/Gombo
