Some executive at Riot Games is living a nightmare right now. They paid for development for 6 years and finally canceled Hytale and sold the studio back to the founders. I'd imagine it was bargain priced. A few months later and Hytale has launched into early access, and according to PC Gamer's estimate, had over 1 million concurrent players.
Anyway, I bought this yesterday, and my initial thought is that vanilla Hytale will be better, once completed, than vanilla Minecraft. Mods will be the final determinate, though. Unlike Minecraft, Hytale is supporting mods from the beginning.
Adventure mode is not in the game yet, so I'm playing Sandbox. Creative is also available. There were a nice selection of enemies in the starting area, but enemy AI needs to be improved. I used a bow on an orc (at least I think it was an orc) that apparently decided I was out of his range, and killed two deer who were stuck on geometry.
Crafting is different from Minecraft. You don't arrange materials. As long as you have the materials in your inventory, you just press "craft". There are quite a few different crafting tables, and each one can be leveled to unlock new recipes.
Building and decorating is much better in Hytale. There are a lot of things other than just blocks that you can craft.
Basic combat is like the original Minecraft combat, but there is more available, like special moves and ultimates.
