Report an issueCraft The World is a unique sandbox strategy game, the mix of Dungeon Keeper, Terraria and Dwarf Fortress. Explore a random generated world populated by dangerous creatures, build a dwarf fortress, gather resources, and craft all the items, weapons, and armor you need.
Pocket Edition contains all 4 worlds of the Steam version: http://store.steampowered.com/app/248390
GOD-SIMULATION You control a tribe of dwarves by giving them commands to dig in certain places, attack enemy creatures, and build houses and other structures. You'll need to provide your dwarves food and clothing, as well as help them with magic when fighting against other inhabitants of the world. You start the game with one dwarf and gain additional dwarves as your experience level increases.
SANDBOX GAME Each game level has many layers of earth to explore, from the sky down to boiling subterranean lava. The level is randomly generated as an island, restricted by natural boundaries: oceans on the edges, lava beneath it, and the sky above. Other features include day and night and changing weather conditions. The worlds differ in size, humidity, temperature, terrain, and flora and fauna. Abandoned halls and rooms with treasure are hidden somewhere deep within the islands.
CRAFTING One feature of the game is a user-friendly system of recipes for crafting. The recipes are organized and easily accessible. You can craft dozens of different items: building blocks for houses, furniture, decorations, weapons, armor, ammunition, and food for your dwarves.
RTS At the outset you find the recipes for basic tools and items, and build a small house with places to sleep and eat. Then, the size of the tribe increases and catches the attention of other inhabitants of the world. Most of them are night creatures and dwell underground. The worlds are full of fantasy creatures like zombies, skeletons, goblins, beholders, ghosts, giant spiders, and others. Some of them pay little attention to the dwarves, as long as the dwarves do not come into their field of vision. Others gather into quite large groups and try to break into the dwarves’ residence.
TOWER DEFENSE Especially dangerous are the waves of monsters that appear from time to time from portals. So, do not neglect to build a safe haven with strong walls and numerous trapdoors, cells, firing towers, and secret passageways.
MAGIC As a divine being, you possess various spells. You can speed up the movement of the dwarves, open small portals, illuminate dark caves to scare away monsters, evoke natural magic in the form of rain or tree growth, hurl fireballs at the monsters’ heads, and find useful resources and hidden rooms underground, thereby helping to speed up resource extraction, exploration of the world, and the population growth of your assistants.

8 of 15I enjoy this game but after the recent update I am unable to play because DLC is not recognized on iPad. I was happy to see a new update because this game is GREAT. I will reverse this review to 5 stars when developers are able to correct this.
Game crashes and will not allow progression past first level of campaign
Best ever!
Hi! I really love the game and have already purchased several DLCs in the mobile version. I noticed that the “Heroes” expansion appears in the list, but there’s no option to purchase it. Do you plan to make it available soon for the Pocket Edition? I’d love to play it too. Thank you for your great work!
I’ve played Craft the World for nearly a decade and my game no longer works! I’m on an iPad and could play offline. Now I get a blank screen and the game will not load. I’ve paid for the game several times for different devices. Where is my game? If I delete and reinstall, it deletes all of my data over YEARS of play! I’m angry!
After the last update I no longer have access to all the DLC I’ve purchased. I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled the game as well reset my iPad multiple times, but all DLC is no longer available unless I want to buy it all again. I also emailed customer support, but so far no response.
I love this game but my expansions I paid for are gone. No way to restore them. Apparently I just have to repay. No thanks!

Thank you for update!!!
