28 lutego 2023

Lumencraft a unique combination of a top-down, rogue-like shooter and base building with tower defense elements, is now out of Early Access on Steam, GOG, Epic Game Store and macOS AppStore. Drill through underground corridors and shafts to gather humanity's only hope for survival. Of course, only if you make it alive yourself…

Lumen is a mysterious resource which can spark humanity’s revival. 200 years after society and civilization collapsed brave miners, called scouts, venture into the depths of the planet to extract the precious mineral. But shadows in Lumencraft hold not only the lifegiving gems, but also deadly creatures which can become humanity’s undoing.

The developers at 2Dynamic Games made sure that the subterranean chambers feel right. The dreadful atmosphere is boosted thanks to a dynamic lighting system, which reacts to all the mining activity players will undertake. Each part of the environment can be drilled or blown up with pixel-perfect precision (just watch out for the flowing lava). Sounds echo through corridors and caves, building up the tense atmosphere of survival.

Lumencraft's Final Version features a 27-mission long campaign which will allow you to lead the scouting party from the beginning of the expedition to its end. You can also play on procedurally generated maps and custom levels created by the developers or the community. All the thrills of building an underground base and defending it against swarms of enemies can be enjoyed with a friend in co-op mode.

Game Features:

· Multiple game modes - a story campaign, custom maps created by the developers and the community or procedurally generated levels. The choice is yours!

· Defending the underground settlement by direct combat and the use of diversified turrets.

· Highly efficient and satisfying digging mechanics (just listen to the sweet sound of crushed rocks and Lumen).
