Deal | 2024 survival tower defense game drops to $0 on Steam

World Crafter TD is a game that incorporates elements from the survival, resource gathering, and tower defense genres. Developed and co-published by Tbjbu2, the 2024 game is currently available for free on Steam.

The gameplay of World Crafter TD is simple — you gather resources, craft materials, then use these materials to craft equipment, structures, and turrets. With this equipment, you defend against waves of enemies, which appear as moving blocks of varying colors.

You can gather resources like gold ore, wood, iron ore, and stone at resource points on the map, which respawn in different locations after being depleted. To tune the games difficulty, you can adjust the resource multiplier between 0.5 and 3×.

At the beginning, there are no enemies to fight, allowing you time to prepare yourself. You can trigger enemy waves via a portal; defeating each wave gives you coins as a reward. Each wave is manually triggered, and the coins you gain from defeating them can be used to expand the map, giving you access to more advanced in-game resources.

While some players find this addictive, others find the game too repetitive and lacking depth, with one player saying it has "less depth than a molecule of water." Other critics say the game feels unfinished, like a game in early access that has been abandoned by its developers.

World Crafter TD is strictly single-player and currently has about 124 reviews, 51% of which are positive.
