Craft The World
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.

There used to be a game called the diggers where you use small creatures to build underground tunnels in search of riches. This game takes the concept and expands it much much further. Only qualm is that you have to edit the game files to change the time between enemy waves (I enjoy building endless undeground complexes)
Amazing that after so many years from release this game still gets updates and improvements! Strongly recommend!

Super cool and relaxing game. Sometimes the dwarf AI is a bit frustrating.

Very engrossing game but it has issues with replayability.
Graphics look great, the dwarves run around following your orders so while you can control them, you don't have to ... their AI sometimes wigs out and I wish you could 'lock' a character into an action (like ignore all combat ... or train until there is combat and then return to training) ... so I could specialize combat types and non-combat types.
The tech tree is a bit ... odd ... I mean to learn how to smith high end weapons you have to build nice furniture and decorate your cave ... which I mean I get, a craftsman doesn't want to live in a hovel, but when you've got waves of zombies and skeletons breaking down your door, that seems to be an odd priority.
So about the replayability. Once you've got a hang of the game, it's just a matter of doing the right things in the right order at the right time. You can be swamped even on Easy and without mods helping me, I couldn't manage Normal difficulty ... mainly because I think I wasn't hyper optimizing my choices.
It would also benefit from having a story associated with it ... as it is, it's a long game but pretty much a sandbox ... find the things to get the patterns to build the bits to open the gate ... but there could have been a lot more story associated with it, like 'we need you to build a forward base for a lot of colonists ... have X number of Y quality beds and Z amount of food in storage before N time' ... or 'we'll give you these resources and upgrades but you need to hold the line for M minutes before we can bring in the cavalry' ... typical RTS go to material.

The game is exactly that type of games that I like. It's a mix of "Diggers" (1993), sandbox, "The Wiggles: (2001) and some kind of Dungeon Keeper. The gameplay never the same:
- You can build your base underground with lots of manholes and other game you can build your base as a castle with elevators and brodges between towers with ballista.
- You can suffer from insufficient gold and silver resources that cause you to use mid-grade equipement or can kill goblins and orcs and get coins which you can use for buying mana generators for opening portals on the lower levels of the map.
- You can suffer from the insufficient coal and meat to craft food or can create your own underground pool with fish and plant trees to craft coal.
- You can go to other worlds to farm resources and return to your single player map and use them to progress through the level (with multiplayer DLC ofcourse).

Not a bad game. It's simple to get into yet can be an enjoyable experience. The graphics are charming for a 2d side scroller and I have yet to really experience any game breaking bugs. That being said there are some notable negatives with this game.
The AI needs some serious improvement. For example your dwarfs are constantly tripping over each other when you task up a bunch of jobs near each other. (especially building jobs - which cancel themselves out if another dwarf is standing in the way) Another good example is when gathering resources dwarfs will completely walk past the stockpile on their way to pick up a far way item without considering to stop at the stockpile to drop off their partial load of goods. They will, literally, haul one log all the way across the map, walk past the stockpile, and fill up on stone then finally return to the stockpile to deliver a full load.
The lack of any sort of tutorial might leave you frustrated as well as you have to search out answers on "how do I do this?" online frequently. Thankfully the answers are easy to find but a basic tutorial would be nice. Game devs should always remember with games like these that you should never assume everyone is going to understand your vision and you must write instructions as if you are speaking to a child. (just some helpful advice if the dev reads this)
Overall this is a very fun game and I'm glad I grabbed it. It's worth a try if you love these types of games.
