Watch the trailer. It's basically a futuristic version of Minecraft. If you decide to get it, keep in mind it is still in alpha (and as long as its in alpha I believe it's free)

You basically crash land on an alien planet. There are a few survivors other than you and they can give missions and stuff. You start out with a basic wood house and after some mining you can upgrade t a castle with automatic turrets and then you can build some futuristic buildings, vehicles, and all sorts of guns. There is a story mode, an adventure mode, and of course, a build mode which gives you infinite amounts of everything, and the ability to edit the terrain that generates. After seeing the trailer... It looks like you can get some pretty cool terrains...

Also... for some reason I couldn't embed the vid so heres a link...

Dont miss the vehicle creation trailer! The amount of detail you can put in to your vehicles is insane! And after seeing the race track in the trailer... I don't think I'll be playing anything but build! I think I'll ask the devs to implement aircraft but... they probably will anyway considering how early alpha this game is. :P

Heres the build and create trailer. It mostly shows off how you can design your own guns and weapons, but also really gives you a good idea od how you can build your shelter and the many things you can do with the terrain.

Also... It would be great to have this game on steam, so vote for it on greenlight!!!

So you build things and shoot alien dinosaurs with them?

The terrain is also smooth voxel based, think minecraft but prettier. That's the driving appeal here; everything is deformable in it. You can also make your own weapons, etc. They also say they have plans for space travel :o

It's using Unity 3D, and god am I glad I didn't decide to learn that engine. Users are reporting some degree of lag on higher-tier systems :s

the game is in early alpha but i stoll dont think its getting the attention it deserves from the gaming community. any minecraft player would love this. even more so if they like big guns. the fact that you can design every single item in the game yourself makes me so excited to play it.

You don't have a link to the actual download. I downloaded it. So far I have a sniper rifle that I can't scope D: and I can't fire D: because I have no bullets for some reason D: and also a energy sword which looks awesome. Also I have a small vehicle that looks like the Flash from PSII and a tank that looks like a large car. Very excited.
