In Dig or Die, you are stranded on a hostile planet and must build strong defenses to survive massive attacks each night. Explore, craft, and build intricate structures in a science-fiction world with realistic physics and even a water cycle to manage. With no hunger needs to worry about, the game is all about surviving the night attacks and ultimately building a rocket ship to escape the planet. Experience fast and fun laser gun fights in a procedurally generated environment and a global real-time simulation.


What we like:
  • Interesting gameplay mechanics
  • Good difficulty balance
  • Replayability with randomly generated maps and several game modes
