First off, if you were looking for a CLONK x Lemmings x The Settlers type game, well look no further! Craftlings will scratch that itch, and wonderfully so! Even though I am running Craftlings on a Linux desktop distro that was designed to run Steam, and have run through all 12 levels at least twice, after 82h I have yet to find a game breaking bug. Trust me (or not), that is VERY rare in any game I play. As an ancient dev myself from the times when we used clay tablets to program clay golems, I tend to try things that *definitely* were not part of the original architecture and design. 🧙‍♂️ Solid 10/10 from me on this one. Addendum at over 100h... I saw some people have trouble with "micro-management" - true, a couple of levels need a bit of work to get started, and you need to concentrate if you are attempting a speed-run to set a new higher score. If you are not trying for a speed run, then after the initial "stress" of maybe 10 min, the rest can be set up to be pretty much automated.

Meh. It is not what I expected but that is on me for not doing research. This is more like a puzzle game just like its inspiration. So if you are looking for a good automation game or a good city builder then keep looking. I would describe this more like a puzzle game with city building and automation elements. You get various buildings that create various resources and then have to figure out a way to get those resources where you need them next. Tools are just another resource. Enemies are stationary and you bring the fight to them so don't expect base defense. You switch between needing a resource to selling it for gold, another resource. Thankfully gold doesn't need to be carried to buildings that need it. It does have its challenges but there are times it was putting me to sleep as I fast forwarded while I had to wait for resources to be delivered to complete and objective. I don't regret my purchase but had I known then what I know now I most likely wouldn't have made that purchase. It is not a bad game but it is also not a great game. As a spiritual successor to Lemmings though it hits the nail on the head. Unlike Lemmings you don't seem limited to a certain number of deaths. Perhaps that changes after the tutorial which is 4 out of the 12 levels long. That's how far I am at the time of this review.

A very enjoyable game in which building production chains and managing clumsy “residents” is combined with specific goals and challenges to be achieved in each level. There are no active obstacles in the game, such as enemies attacking you out of the blue or cataclysms destroying your settlements, which suits me personally, because I don't like that kind of pressure. It is the player who decides when to attack the enemy and whether to deal with other minions along the way. The nice pixel art graphics (three different biomes) and unobtrusive sound effects and music allow to play long hours without getting tired. As for replayability, at the time of writing this review, the main motivation to replay the game is to complete a given level faster (the game informs you how your playtime compares to other players). I think the author should give players the ability to create their own levels and share them with the community as soon as possible. After finishing the game, I encourage you to join Discord to learn various tips and tricks that will allow you to get more out of the gameplay. A big plus for the game author's responsiveness and the friendly player community. I definitely recommend it.

Craftlings is the kind of game where you sit down “for 10 minutes” and suddenly it’s dark outside and you’ve forgotten to drink water. Tiny workers. Big chaos. Surprisingly deep systems. And that special flavour of panic when you realise you dropped your last axe into the ocean. It’s charming, clever, and quietly addictive. You’ll mess up, you’ll laugh, your Craftlings will just keep building and evolving and somehow that just makes it all better. Came for the cute chaos. Stayed because I genuinely cared to see my little dudes survive, and then realised that there were another 11 stunningly beautiful levels to conquer. Hold my phone! Highly recommended.

A perfect blend of 2 of my childhood games, Lemmings and Settlers. I feel like there was a little bit too much info thrown at me right away in the tutorial, but I could always read everything once more in a slower pace anytime I wanted to. I have just finished first level and the experience is great so far! I felt big attention to details everywhere and it costs so little as well!
