Lumencraft

Lumencraft is a top-down shooter with base building and tower defense elements. You explore procedurally generated underground levels, dig tunnels and shafts to reach Lumen, and defend your settlement from enemy raids. The environment is fully destructible, so you can drill new routes or blast through walls and enemies.

Humanity’s last hope

In 2221, survivors discover Lumen, a high-energy crystal that may be humanity’s last chance. For two centuries, the remnants of humanity have struggled to live without electricity and light. Brave miners establish an underground settlement and travel into nearby deposits, but the caves and tunnels hold both resources and danger.

Dig and defend

You illuminate the darkness with weapons and turrets as swarms of enemies attack your base. Direct combat and a variety of turrets help protect the settlement, while digging gives you routes to valuable resources. The game also includes explosive weapons such as dynamite, and its lighting system interacts with the destructible terrain.

Game modes

The 27-mission campaign tells the story of humanity’s struggle to survive. You can also play on procedurally generated maps, try custom maps made by the developers or community, or create your own levels in the editor. Custom game types can focus on tower defense, action, survival or a mix, with player-defined starting technologies, upgrades and goals.

Create and play together

The map editor lets you shape terrain and place objects, then set the game type, starting technologies, upgrades and goals. You can invite a friend to play locally on a shared screen or through Steam Remote Play, including on custom maps.
