The Crust
Welcome to the Crust — the game where you can be the CEO of a gigantic moon colonizing company. It is a large-scale economic simulator with elements of survival along with a rich setting and dramatic script.
No fate is determined. The progress is driven by people. It’s time for you to decide whether you become the one who brings changes — or the one who adapts to them. Whether to be mediocre and insignificant anybody — or to be a pioneer in the space colonization industry, leading your corporation to dominance and bringing necessary effort to make humanity an interstellar species.
Building the world of the future will mark a place for you in the history books. Only the strongest can survive on a giant grim permafrost rock surrounded by vacuum, deep space darkness, and deadly silence.
To be the second in the space race means to be the first who loses. Are you ready to take this challenge? The conquest of the Moon has already begun.

The Dwarven Sons of Ivaldi have reclaimed the mountain and begun their quest to forge masterpieces for the Gods.

Dungeons and Kingdoms is a combination of city building and small party questing adventures.
Build
-
Modular building - Hundreds of modular building pieces available, build entirely custom structures and layouts piece by piece
-
Build Plans - You act as the build planner by placing all the pieces and build up modular buildings, then begin construction. Those build plans pass to the job system to be constructed by your workers. You can have many build plans in construction at the same time.
-
Full Preview - Build plans allow you to see what your buildings will look like fully connected and rendered in game. Your workers will only act on them when you start construction. You can cancel construction at no cost, so you can attempt endless Build Plans until you like what you see.
-
Edit buildings - Once placed and built, all building pieces can be removed or added allowing no end to how you customize and evolve your world
-
Assign Builder - Assign anyone for basic construction (fire pits, wood fencing etc) up to master builders for epic monuments and castles
-
Decorate - Hundreds of items available to decorate and furnish your kingdom
Blueprints
-
Save Build Plan as Blueprint - Start placing items as a build plan. When you have a collection of pieces you want to re-use (like a small house, or a smith) you can save the current build plan as a Blueprint. This allows you to place the entire Blueprint as a single building piece later, over and over.
-
Everything with Blueprints - You can use the Build Plan feature simply as a way to make many different Blueprints. Make a Build Plan, save as a new Blueprint, then Cancel the original Build Plan.
Tera forming
-
Excavate - Dig trenches and moats
-
Tunnel - Mine deep underground, building networks of mining cart tracks setting up functional production lines

Grow Your Kingdom

Trading - Negotiate trade with the local Dwarven city. Focus your early growth on what they need, trade for what you need, or what you can trade with other Kingdoms.
Manage Your Kingdom
-
Production - From peasants gathering mushrooms and berries to master masons sculpting great statues, assign your population to jobs to increase their skill.
-
Training - People will learn and improve at whatever job you assign them to, or send them off to other Kingdoms to learn special skills to bring back to your city.
-
Smart AI - While some of your people may not be geniuses, they are smart enough to go to work when something needs to be done. In other words, you don’t have to worry about getting bogged down micro managing everyone. You can be as involved as you want to be, but the more work you put in to managing your Kingdom, the more effective your population will be.
Survive
-
Risk - Outside the safety of city walls, the world is dangerous. From wild animals and other creatures, to bandits, and tribes of Orcs… or worse!
-
Economy and Production - Starting small, balance your growth with the available resources and trading partners to ensure your people survive
-
Defend - The more you have, the more others will want to take it. Building and maintaining defenses may make the difference between life and death.
Questing
-
Heroes - While most of your population will be regular people with jobs, you may attract, hire, or train up legendary heroes. Take your party of heroes on adventures and quests while leaving your kingdom to be run by the local council, or send your heroes out on their own.
-
Encounter Areas - The main map is for building your sprawling kingdom. Learn through rumors about quests where you assemble a party of heroes to adventure out into the wild including dungeons, over-world swamps and forests, crypts and other deadly lairs.
Play as Anyone

Perspective - All play modes are in either First or Third person

Variety - Your main character is the leader of your town, with the goal of eventually becoming a great ruler. You can also switch between any character in your Kingdom. Each character has their own unique skills and traits, training level, and inventory.

Super Dungeon Maker ⚒ - Fink’s Awakening (Prologue)
I have been playing this game an absolute TON.
If you drew dungeons on graph paper when you were younger, this is for you.
If you’re a fan of top down dungeon games, you’re going to be right at home with this game.
It controls similarly to Mario Maker in the dungeon create mode (recommend keyboard and mouse for that) and the gameplay is really smooth. I do recommend using a controller for playing the levels themselves though, need that controller nostalgia… need to get a classic USB controller just to give me a bit more of that feel, y’know?

I love the game. This is a dungeon creator for a zelda-like gaming experience. If you like to create dungeons and let your friends and strangers on the internet run it, then you’ll be happy with this. For a free version it comes with a lot of tools to create dungeons. Right now there are bombs, a grappling hook, a jumping feather, a shield and fins available to use. Also you can create switch riddles and also a lot of fun stuff. I did a dungeon who you just need bombs for bomb jumps and it is fun.

Your Quest 2
A fun little game and well worth the asking price to just chill and relax while you play.
– Real player with 23.9 hrs in game
Review to be updated soon..
But first 20 minutes or so, this game is 50x better than “Your Quest” the dev first free title…
I think it’s worth it, but its going to be a real slow grind to get to the fun content.. dungeon exploring, controlling villagers etc because energy replenishment is very slow and required for EVERYTHING!
I like it so far though, highly recommended if you dont mind the grind.
More to come…

Dungeon Dreams
I looked up Azure Dreams to see if maybe they made a sequel to it.
I ran across this. I’m sure many others looking that up came across this game.
I really enjoyed this game.
Though the 60+ hours played is obviously divided between 3 game plays (one for each class)
Through trying to do everything in one game I got to 42 hours, that was milking it.
Overall I found it very fun to play.
Pro
- References to other games I’ve played without going over board (Hairy legs bit from thousand arms made me chuckle)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Ratings 9/10 (Great Game Mechanics, Dungeon Crawler+ Dating Sim+Town Builder)
I have been playing RPG games my whole life, and this is one of the best RPG game that I’ve come across.
It’s a game developed by one person and fully funded by Kickstarter backers.
Here’s what is really great about this game. The most impressive feature is the great game mechanics and game design.
This game has 3 broad classes : Fighters, Scouts and Mages.
However, each of these classes have about 10 different sub-classes that you can play.

COINS BATTLE
I give a qualified thumbs up. If you can get this game for $0.99 or less, it’s worth playing just for the concept. I wouldn’t pay more than that. There is no tutorial and no explanation of the rules. I sort of get it and it’s interesting up to a point.
– Real player with 0.3 hrs in game
Looks like I get to write the first review for COINS BATTLE. Lucky me.
COINS BATTLE is a very low quality mobile-tier clicker game where you tap on various coins to make them “fight” other coins by running into them, just like the screenshots show. Exciting, isn’t it? Yeah, I know.
Usually I’d go into why this game is so insultingly bad no PC gamer should buy it, but I’ve lately gone through so many asset flips and game construction kit garbage, it’s really refreshing that at least there’s an original concept here. It’s not a good concept, and it’s badly implemented, but at least it’s original, as far as I know.

Dark Gnome
This is almost a decent F2P. With a little more love, and a lot more respect for the player, it might even have been good.
The pixel aesthetic is fine. The progression is decent in some areas, though rather linear. I managed to keep the music on for a day or two, and the sounds are decent…
The main problem is the grind. There are no passive gains, and within a few days, the rewards quickly become few and far between. I understand that grind and diminishing returns is mandatory for this kind of game, but here it quickly becomes absurd, and there is a general aversion to good math.
– Real player with 671.5 hrs in game
this is a really good game
the music and artstyle are great, the characters and enemies look fun and i love the creativity of some elements.
while the game does contain microtransactions, they don’t ruin the game as with some patience they can be completely ignored. i saw people complaining about the “constant advertising” of the microtransactions but all it is is a pop-up after opening the game or a textbox in a corner of the screen which rarely appear and don’t get in your way.
(pointing out exaggerated reviews): i saw a review from someone with 0.2hr’s (12min) in total who compared this to a mobile game because of they way it plays and the microtransactions. while the game does look like it would work on mobile, this is a PC game and thats what the devs want it to be. they also mentioned how you have to pay money or wait an hour and a half to play, which coming from someone who played for 12 minutes i can assume that they bearly finished fighting Charles and are still in the tutorial. the only wait times they could encounter would be from the medic or resting periods but you need like level 3 or 4 and its only like 30 seconds. wait times only get in the way later on with higher levels and health of your gnomes. (also this is an RPG, of course things have to take a while)
