Is Craftlings for you?

Craftlings is a mix of strategy, resource management, settlement building, and automation, with strong dynamic puzzle elements created by indirect control over the Craftlings and their behaviors. This introduces local logistic challenges for resource delivery that you, as a player, have to solve.

Who will enjoy Craftlings?

If you enjoy slow-paced, thoughtful games where planning, optimization, and long-term strategy matter, Craftlings may be for you.

Craftlings is challenging to master but forgiving, giving players plenty of room to experiment. With patience, you’ll learn how to play efficiently and creatively.

Craftlings is a passion project inspired by legendary classics from the 90s, and it is hard to compare it to modern games. It is not a usual city builder, it is not a factory automation game, and it is not a traditional puzzle game. If you give it a go, the full potential of the game unfolds after the first two short tutorial missions.

About the Game

You tend to a cluster of Craftlings and shepherd them to gather resources and construct buildings. With the goal of tackling each level’s unique challenge, you will assign tasks, grow your settlement, optimise production chains, and upgrade your Town Hall to unlock new possibilities. Can you guide your Craftlings to greater heights?

Shape the world around you by putting your diligent Craftlings to work and constantly improve your settlement by adapting framework foundations into flourishing hubs. Craft various building types, from farms to barracks, by harvesting the local resources to help establish and evolve your village. Assign tasks and mix up your Craftlings’ roles and responsibilities to collect the resources you need, swiftly switching their profession between lumberjacks, stone masons, miners, warriors and more.

Navigate through levels spread across several distinct biomes, each with their unique vegetation, buildings and specific end objective. Experiment with the buildings at your disposal to optimize your Craftlings production chains, to further streamline the efficiency of your blossoming village. Blast your way through the dirt, take risks, venture past your settlement to find additional resources, but be ever wary of what dangers lurks around the corner.

Craftlings is a throwback to problem solving strategy games from the 90s and showcases a modern-day pixel art style that pays homage to the classics. Coupled with a soothing score, relaxing vibe and humorous sound effects, you’ll feel right at home in this world whether it’s your first time or it reminds you of somewhere you visited once before.
