Press release:
Warsaw, Poland –June 8, 2022.
The Poland-based indie games developer/publisher Star Drifters and indie games developer 2Dynamic Games, today announced with great delight and excitement that they have just released some new updates for their sci-fi top-down action shooter/tower defense game “Lumencraft” (the updates are available right now for PC via Steam).

“Lumencraft” is a combination of a top-down shooter, mining and tower defense game. Dynamic lighting and almost unlimited environment destruction allow to build a unique atmosphere in Lumencraft’s survival and tactical gameplay.

Set in the year 2221, the planet’s surface has become uninhabitable leaving the last few survivors to struggle to survive without electricity. A recently discovered mineral, Lumen has sparked the hope of a better future for humanity. This crystal of high energy potency can drastically increase humanity’s odds of survival.

A team of highly skilled miners has ventured to retrieve deposits of Lumen deep below the ground. Their mission objective is simply to excavate and collect the precious mineral and return them to the surface. However, no one has made it out alive. Fight for your survival as enemies raid your base so be careful and leave some turrets on the watch.
