Set in a different world where the characters are reduced to the size of an ant, Grounded is a game that progresses with both environmental and storytelling. While fighting against huge enemies to survive, we collect useful things, establish a base with objects that we will encounter in daily life, seek resources to save lives, and maintain a common life with nature.
In addition to playing alone, it is also possible to play cooperatively with up to four people. Working together with our friends, we can complete missions one by one or explore the game world.
Grounded, which remained in the Early Access stage for two years, was supported by numerous updates over time, adding flying insects, two new biomes, new locations, armor, weapons, and friends. In February, the game surpassed the number of ten million players.
