What is Hytale?
Hytale is an adventure game that “blends the freedom of a sandbox with the momentum of an RPG.” The game is set in a procedurally generated world that has dungeons to explore and creatures to interact with. The game has Minecraft-like stylized graphics.
The game launched on January 13 in early access with “core” systems, including exploration, combat, building, minigames, and community-run servers. The game will expand over time with more features.
