Our take on Crafty Survivors
Rather than centering its run-based action on conventional combat roles, the game gives its heroes crafting professions and turns cooking, sewing, and statue-building into ways to fight. Between runs, collected materials feed into village upgrades.
What is Crafty Survivors?
Crafty Survivors is an action roguelite in which heroes with different professions fight monster hordes to defend their home.
Each run, players choose upgrades to shape a character’s build, with options tied to different skills and play styles. Skills can be set to manual or automatic casting individually. Enemies drop materials used to upgrade the village, which unlocks characters and buffs. The game includes multiple biomes, character-specific skill trees with over 300 skills in total, a food system, and smithing and weaving systems that add over 80 passive skills. Runs are described as quick play sessions. Further biomes and crafters are stated as additions through updates.
