BlockStar Planet vs Trove
BlockStar Planet
BlockStar Planet (previously known as RoboBlast Planet) is in some way a game that resembles other popular kid-friendly sandbox games like Roblox or Minecraft. However, unlike those games, BlockStar Planet has a more sci-fi, futuristic theme - a theme that can be obviously seen in the character customization aspect of the gameplay.Being a sandbox game, you can unleash your creativity and create magnificent worlds for other players to play in or to simply explore and enjoy. If creating worlds is not your thing, you can even have fun playing parkour or blast futuristic guns at each other in the many existing worlds available.
It is also a virtual world game as well, and hence, the game places a strong emphasis on socializing and adding new friends. The game has strict chatting rules though, so if you're a parent looking for a fun game for your young kid, this game is as safe as it can be for your child to play in. After all, thbe game was developed by the same people behind the virtual world game, Movie Star Planet
So, if you're looking for a Roblox-like game for your kid or for yourself, BlockStar Planet is a pretty great alternative. You can play the game directly on your browser or on your mobile devices.
Trove
Trove is a voxel-based sandbox MMORPG that is quite similar to the insanely-popular game, Minecraft. Uniquely though, Trove has a lot more of the MMO element rather than Minecraft. You can play as any 1 of the whopping 14 character classes available and venture out into the many different biomes and worlds to search for resources (both common and rare) to gather, dungeons to conquer and randomly-spawned world bosses to defeat. There are even plenty of cool-looking mounts and pets that you can search for and collect.Not to mention, you can have fun turning the stuff you've collected into various tools and weapons via the game's in-depth crafting system too. Or you could simply use these blocks as building materials to construct your own home in allocated spots scattered throughout the game world. Interestingly, the game also allows players to use its sandbox feature to design and build amazing dungeons. All submitted player-made dungeons will then be judged by the developers and a select few will then make it into the actual game world. How amazing it would be to see players trying their darnest to raid a dungeon you've built!
It's a no brainer that if you enjoy Minecraft but find its multiplayer a bit lacking, then you'll love Trove. However, we would definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves voxel-based sandbox games like Roblox and Kogama as well.
