What is Dysterra?

Dysterra is a first-person survival crafting game set on a devastated Earth, where you return from an orbital refuge to collect Terrasite for energy. You explore an open world, gather materials, build and power a base, and craft gear. You can play alone or join online servers for co-op and PvP; capturing facilities can change when a server resets.

Not for you if...
