Between January 24 and 26, players can enjoy a free trial of a sandbox action-adventure game on Steam, featuring a robust co-op mode. For those who want to keep playing after the trial, the game is available at a 35% discount.

Necesse is a sandbox action-adventure game with a charming pixel art style, offering players a procedurally generated world filled with endless possibilities. Starting as an explorer on an uncharted island, you’ll take on the task of building a thriving settlement. Gather resources, construct buildings and attract new inhabitants to your growing village. But it's not all peaceful, valuable resources, powerful artifacts and rare equipment await in mysterious dungeons, where dangerous bosses lurk, ready to test your skills.

The game features dynamic real-time combat, allowing players to choose from a wide range of melee and ranged weapons. A standout feature is its extensive co-op mode, where players can host servers, explore the vast world with friends or face off in PvP duels. With mod support, the game world can be customized and expanded to suit your creative vision, making Necesse a truly flexible and engaging experience.

Necesse is the debut game from Fair Games ApS and has been in Early Access since December 2019. Priced at around $15, the sandbox adventure has steadily gained a loyal following. With over 12,800 reviews on Steam, an impressive 94% are positive, underscoring the game's widespread acclaim and enduring appeal.

Test Necesse during the free weekend

On January 23, 2025, Necesse received its v0.30 update, coinciding with the game’s first free Steam weekend. From January 24 to 26, players can try out the sandbox adventure at no cost. Those who enjoy the game can grab it at a 35% discount until February 3, bringing the price down to around $10 from the regular $15.
