What it is
Craftopia is a multiplayer open-world survival action game from Pocketpair, available for Windows and Xbox Series X and Series S. Its activities span gathering, exploration, combat, farming, dungeon looting, automation, hunting, and magic. Players can chop trees, mine stones, grow more than 20 crops, and use agricultural machines to cultivate larger fields. Gathering can also be automated, with conveyor belts used to build factories.
The game includes creature taming: players can catch animals and monsters with Monster Prisms and keep them as pets. Dungeons change their shape each time players enter, and a detector can signal when one is nearby. Players can return to town to prepare before entering in search of treasure. Craftopia supports single-player and multiplayer, including co-op, online co-op, and LAN co-op. Steam features include Workshop, Achievements, partial controller support, Remote Play on Tablet, and Family Sharing. It is listed as Early Access.
