Craft The World is a unique sandbox strategy game, the mix of Dungeon Keeper, Terraria and Dwarf Fortress. Explore a random generated world populated by dangerous creatures, build a dwarf fortress, gather resources, and craft all the items, weapons, and armor you need. GOD-SIMULATION You control a tribe of dwarves by giving them commands to dig in certain places, attack enemy creatures, and build houses and other structures. You'll need to provide your dwarves food and clothing, as well as help them with magic when fighting against other inhabitants of the world. You start the game with one dwarf and gain additional dwarves as your experience level increases. SANDBOX GAME Each game level has many layers of earth to explore, from the sky down to boiling subterranean lava. The level is randomly generated as an island, restricted by natural boundaries: oceans on the edges, lava beneath it, and the sky above. Other features include day and night and changing weather conditions. The worlds differ in size, humidity, temperature, terrain, and flora and fauna. Abandoned halls and rooms with treasure are hidden somewhere deep within the islands. CRAFTING One feature of the game is a user-friendly system of recipes for crafting. The recipes are organized and easily accessible. You can craft dozens of different items: building blocks for houses, furniture, decorations, weapons, armor, ammunition, and food for your dwarves.

I recommend to get the base game + grottoes and abandoned mines DLC.
Relaxing and relatively simple colony construction sim.
Cons - Some minor bugs and very stupid AI for your dwarfs.

If you like crafting and/or building, you might like this game.
You are able to build a shelter for your dwarves, to help them survive and gather enough resources so they are able to build the portal to beat the level.
There is a very basic storyline, and barely any characterization. It's a little annoying that you have to buy additional DLC to get the 'girl' dwarves. However, I still enjoy this game a lot and think it has pretty high re-playability.
Because of the different biomes and set up for the levels, you are able to challenge yourself to do better, even if you have beaten that level before (ex: maybe you want to try and get through the level without any of your dwarves dying).
I also like the Halloween event that happens every year. The gifts you can receive give fun little power ups.

This game is actually really fun, once you get the hang of things it's a long term blast. No real issues, love the game-play, all around fun. Not a bad addition to your library. It has been a staple game for me, When I burn out of other games, I can always come back to Craft the World. I highly recommend this game. it does have it's problems, there's DLC that should be part of the base game. The Dwarfs can be frustratingly stupid at times and it takes a long time and a lot of-patience to find all the "way of doing things" that brings out all the secret joy and depth this game HIDES on the surface. Custom maps, on large , on the different biomes, offer very long term play, and each land is slightly different, enough to matter and enough to make you take different strategies in building your home. HIGHLY recommended

Relaxing game. I am playing on easy on my tablet (touchscreen mostly) from my Steam Deck. Works well. Even played in the bathtub (piece of wood across the tub to create a shelf)...lol. Love the sounds the dwarves make. Progression is fun. Graphics are good.
