About This Game

Lumencraft: A Top-Down Rogue-Like Shooter with Base Building & Tower Defense

Lumencraft is a unique combination of a top-down shooter and base building game with tower defense elements. Enter procedurally generated levels with a fully destructible environment to build your base, dig some tunnels and find the precious Lumen - humanity's only chance for survival.

BECOME THE SAVIOR OF MANKIND
For two centuries the remnants of humanity struggle to survive without electricity and light. But there is a spark of hope. In 2221 the survivors find Lumen – a crystal of high energy potency that may be the last chance for mankind. Scouts, brave miners, established an underground settlement and voyage into the dark to reach the nearby Lumen deposits. But the darkness consumed them, as the subterranean caves and tunnels hold as much danger as salvation. Now it’s time for you to step into the endless shadows…

DRILL AND SHOOT YOUR WAY TO SALVATION
The lightless underground holds swarms of enemies that will raid your base. Illuminate the gloomy tunnels with your weapons and turrets in a struggle for survival. Drill new paths and shafts to reach valuable resources or blast walls and your foes.

EXPLORE A FULLY DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENT
With a lot of effort and a set of original algorithms, 2Dynamic Games have transformed the open-source Godot Engine into a completely new tool. This allows every bit of terrain (pixel, as we used to call them) to be destroyed, and maps to be painted as if in a drawing program.

YOUR WAY TO PLAY
Lumencraft offers several game modes to suit your gameplay style. With a 27-mission campaign experience the full narrative of humanity’s struggle for survival. Jump into procedurally generated maps and fight in a true roguelike fashion. Or maybe create your own level in the editor, or try out what the creators and Steam Workshop users have prepared for you. Custom game types (e.g. tower defence, action, survival or mix of them) with user-defined starting technologies/upgrades and goals allow you to test your skills as a scout in any conditions. Invite your friend to play locally or using Steam Remote play and dive into the darkness together.

MAP EDITOR
Easily create stunning maps with moldable terrain and a variety of objects to choose from. Invite friends to play in your custom map and define game types, starting technologies, upgrades, and goals.

We hope the community will create many amazing maps for the Steam Workshop.

random need to spawn more metal. or you need to get more out of what you mine. or im just getting a shitty map spawn that... I have to destroy 2 hives before I can get enough metal for 1 turret and just a turret... I'll try again later but being that unable just there isn't hardly any metal... kinda suck and makes you not want to even try again cause... honestly... it wasn't even giving me a chance... Was trying to get enough for a med bay but died cause... the 3rd hive had numbers and jumpers... So... what am I to do? am I not supposed to make turrets? then how do I stop bugs from attacking while I'm away? I don't see a way to win and thats what killed it for me...

Looked fun watching it, wasn't fun to play. Control scheme (movement, attacking) is pretty horrible, and since this is what you do most of the time.. Also had a hard time figuring out what the tasks in the campaign meant and how to do things in general .. had to look up howto videos half the missions to not be stuck in progression.

While the game is a fun little tower defense, I can't recommend it because it frequently crashes at random.

I understand not everyone enjoys the same flavour tea, but for me personally; Mining resources and building a fortified base with turrets to defend yourself from alien creatures in a dark cave is probably one of my favourite Genders. That being said; yes the gameplay loop can get boring real fast for some people. If you dont mind a repetitive gameplay loop and just enjoy the game for what it gives, then try out the demo and see for yourself. I myself got this game on sale for $3, i actually would have paid full price, because i greatly enjoy this style of game. My ONLY wish is to see more content added. its fine as is, but more content would be very welcome, or at least some modding support so fans of the game can make their own additions, the only workshop content is player made maps at the time of this review. I still plan to put several hundred hours worth into this game. Now, i have minerals that need mining, and Aliens to be shot.

Fun little gem. Very addictive. Only "bad" thing is that it could use some faster progression for the main campaign.
