All the people who are writing bad reviews on this game clearly never played it back on Xbox 360. This game, in my opinion, is wonderful. Does it have bugs, yes, is it perfect, not at all. But for a game made by a small group of people, its so well made and just a fun time all around. I'm looking forward to playing the remake whenever it gets released!!

About the Game
CastleMiner Z is an online coop survival horror game in a block based environment. Travel with your friends in a huge, ever-changing world and craft modern weapons to defend yourself from dragons and the zombie horde!Game Play
CastleMiner Z is an infinite world filled with deep places to explore, and horrifying monsters to slay. Build structures out of blocks, craft weapons and tools from raw materials, and explore the vast and frightening world around you.Play by yourself or online with friends in any of these exciting game modes:
- Endurance Mode: There are tales of a place beyond the mountains where Hell itself has torn through. How far can you get before you succumb to the zombies, dragons, skeletons, or other enemies that thirst for your blood? Run, fight, and sneak your way across dry deserts, snowy mountains, and icy expanses on your quest to vanquish the ultimate guardians of the abyss. In Endurance Mode, the world is randomized each game and the death of your party is permanent.
- Survival Mode: If you enjoy Endurance, but would rather build permanent structures and defenses, Survival Mode is where you’ll spend your time.
- Creative Mode: With simplified crafting and the ability to adjust or eliminate the enemy threat, Creative Mode is a great place to build vast structures in peace.
- Dragon Survival Mode: For those who like their trophies big and their hair singed and smoking, Dragon Survival Mode brings you up close and personal with wave after wave of the biggest, meanest, scaliest brutes in the game.
Worlds can be saved in any game mode (except endurance) so try building a castle with enemies turned off, then grabbing some friends and loading it up with enemies turned on!

Great Game, played for hours on the 360. Purchased again for me and my friends to support the new version! Look forward to it! Thank you
Xbox 360 Vets where are you? Shake my hand brothers we're so back!
For ANYONE who had an Xbox 360 growing up, this game was a staple on the system. Even though with todays standards its very dated, this game was a ton of fun as a kid. When I built my first computer after graduating high school, it was the first game I ever bought on Steam, and now, in our current year 2025, the community has come together to make the 1.9.9 patch a reality, with much needed bug fixes, crash fixes and the always annoying mouse bug has finally been squashed! Massive kudos to everyone involved with this game, from its inception to now. Thank you for the countless memories then, now, and in the future. [h1] Long live CastleminerZ, the TRUE king of the XBLIG scene! [/h1]
This game is the goat ever since I've played it on my xbox 360 since 2017. This game is a mixture between Minecraft's Sandbox and zombie survival games like Project Zomboid and Left 4 Dead. You mine, collect, and craft resources to make weapons and tools and defeat mobs such as zombies (hence the "Z" part in the game title), skeletons, dragons, and the such with many biomes, which my personal favorite is the space one since it contained a bunch of useful materials that gave you laser guns and lightsabers. Unfortunately, I haven't played it a bunch on PC due to my time on linux last year, but I had fond memories of this game when I played it on 360.
No way to make any armor to protect yourself. Lose everything in Survival. Spawn point blocks don't even work half of the time. Don't waste your money.
