概要
Dive into a beautifully crafted world inspired by the legendary classics of the '90s. In Craftlings, you don't just build a town; you guide clusters of helpful but clumsy creatures through complex automated production chains. Balance resource gathering, strategic pathing, and base defense to transform a ragtag group of workers into a thriving empire.
ストーリー
While light on deep lore, the narrative is a charming journey of expansion and survival. You lead your Craftlings through diverse biomes, seeking wealth and glory. The real story emerges from the gameplay itself—overcoming the hapless nature of your subjects as they navigate hazards, build settlements, and defend against threats in a humorous, lighthearted world.
Gameplay
At its heart, Craftlings is a strategy-puzzle hybrid focusing on logistics. You assign roles (lumberjacks, miners, warriors) and, crucially, optimize their travel paths to prevent traffic jams and self-sabotage. It blends the relaxing rhythm of base-building with the mental gymnastics of maximizing production efficiency and survival.
