Darkout is a sandbox, with strategy and survival components. One of the clearest influences present in the game comes from titles like Minecraft or Terraria, sandbox platformers where the player can build up facilities and modify his environment at will. But in Darkout there are some interesting points that make it worth to look at, starting by the importance that light has in the game.

Updated review for version 1.2: After this update the game feels a lot more finished and playable. There are upgrades everywhere: visuals, lighting, user interface, game world. The starting tutorial is also welcome for new players. There *are* still bugs -- for instance, right at the beginning I dropped my gun and could not pick it up. Still, it has evolved into a more inviting sandbox/exploration game now.
Previous review: An interesting concept... I am a fan of Terraria and a game like that but in a sci-fi setting is a dream. However, current version is still very unstable. At first I could not play at all, then for some reason I started being able to load up games... at times. For this reason I still cannot rate this higher than a five out of ten.
