Mining and tower defense hybrid
Wall World is a premium action game for PC made by developer Alawar Premium. It is a mining simulator that incorporates tower defense mechanics and roguelike elements in its gameplay. In it, players will explore and attempt to discover the secrets of a vast walled world.
Similar to Dome Romantik or Tower Tactics: Liberation, Wall World seamlessly combines open-world exploration, mining, and tower defense for an engaging and challenging gameplay experience. Players will need to balance gathering resources and being wary of oncoming enemies to not wander too far from their bases and be left defenseless to attacks.
A mysterious walled world
The game takes place in the titular Wall World, a place closed off to the outside. This enigmatic realm houses all manner of secrets and rich resources within its confines. You play as a budding adventurer, together with your trusty robospider, who will explore this land and discover everything it has in store for anyone brave enough to venture into its depths.
Wall World boasts a high level of verticality and you'll spend most of your time upright and climbing. Set up camp at any point and dig a hole through the wall to start exploring and gather materials for upgrades. The game features multiple unique biomes to discover but be wary of enemy creatures attacking as you'll need to board your robospider to defend against them.
Use upgrades to put up turrets to help fend off attacks, repair stations to fix damage to your hull, and resource harvesters to gather material faster. Suffice it to say, this game is quite challenging and can be overwhelming to new players. This is further compounded by the fact that there's a high level of grinding involved to progress, which some will not like.
Dig, mine, defend
Overall, Wall World is a nice twist that builds upon the gameplay loop from Dome Romantik. It boasts a large world to explore, various upgrades to help on your journey, and offers players a nice challenge to those who want it. Some will find it a bit too hard at times, but there's plenty of fun to be had with it all the same.
