What is Craft The World?

A sandbox colony simulation set on randomly generated islands layered from the sky to underground lava.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy relaxed gathering and building between monster attacks
  • +you like replaying randomly generated sandbox levels
  • +you want solo and online cooperative colony management

Not for you if...

  • −you want direct control instead of assigning worker tasks
  • −you dislike repeating similar progression across multiple worlds

What players say

Players commonly praise the dig-craft-build-survive loop, relaxed pace, and replayability. The most frequent complaints concern unreliable dwarf AI and pathfinding, clumsy inventory and crafting interfaces, weak explanations, and persistent bugs. Many also object to the amount of paid DLC relative to the base game.
