Going into Dig or Die it’s impossible not to notice what influenced the game. It started with Minecraft, the game that inspired what is now a genre of the block-building survival games. Minecraft inspired games like Terraria and Starbound, these are the clear inspiration behind Dig or Die.

Starbound is by far the closest of the building-survival games to this. But this isn’t to say Dig or Die is any more a copy of Starbound than it was of Terraria, and that was of Minecraft. These games have stood out by adding their own unique features and other aesthetic choices. Dig or Die certainly stands out from the rest with the choices it makes.
