Hi all,

I want to buy this game but before that, I want to know does this game playable solo in offline like MC? I don't do online, so I'm not interested in online-only games.

Thanks.

I think you may have to be connected to the internet once at the first start to log in, but I am able to play VS without problems even when completely offline.

Nowadays MC does require you to be connected to the internet on each startup, else I'd be able to still play it after that damn forced migration thing.

You can absolutely play on your own in a singleplayer world.

The client authenticates itself with a login server at startup. If this login is not provided, the client will not start. So you must launch the client online at least once. No ifs or buts.

However, a successful login is cached by the client. If you start the client without a connection to the internet, and you have previously logged in at least once, then the client will skip the authentication step and let you play.

so if i have a cached login i can play without authenticating??

Yes! :) 

You will need an internet connection for the download and first login; after that, you're good to play offline. Close and open the game as many times as you wish, restart the computer even, you're good to play offline whenever.

When you log in online for the first time, you are given a digitally signed session key along with a unique ID and name, which are all currently cached in the "clientsettings.json". 

When the game starts up, it first checks that the session signature is valid, which it can do offline before trying to verify with the authentication server. If the signature is valid, but it is unable to connect to the authentication server, the game assumes that you are offline and allows you to play.
