Update 1.9.7.6 is live. The console displays more useful information.

- When picking up items from Loot blocks, the items will be displayed in the console.

- Global announcements are now made whenever a player reaches various milestones of kills during a play session. Enjoy a little friendly competition and bragging rights for defeating different types of enemies!

- Global announcements also occur for opening certain numbers of loot blocks.

Currently most messages are sent every 10 occurrences.

We took a little longer than we wanted on this release, but we've already made great progress on the next update. Look for a new build on the Beta branch coming soon!

4 July

Beta update: 1.9.7.6. A more informative console display.

Our beta server has a new change that we hope players will find useful.

- When picking up items from Loot blocks, the items will be displayed in the console.

- Global announcements are now made whenever a player reaches various milestones of kills during a play session. Enjoy a little friendly competition and bragging rights for defeating different types of enemies!

- Global announcements also occur for opening enough loot blocks.

Currently most announcements are made every 10 kills. Or every 5th kill for rarer things like Aliens.

Is there anything else you'd like to see in CMZ's console text?

About This Game

CastleMiner Z is an online coop survival horror game in a block based environment. Travel with your friends in a huge, ever-changing world and craft modern weapons to defend yourself from dragons and the zombie horde!

Game Play

CastleMiner Z is an infinite world filled with deep places to explore, and horrifying monsters to slay. Build structures out of blocks, craft weapons and tools from raw materials, and explore the vast and frightening world around you.

Play by yourself or online with friends in any of these exciting game modes:

  • Endurance Mode: There are tales of a place beyond the mountains where Hell itself has torn through. How far can you get before you succumb to the zombies, dragons, skeletons, or other enemies that thirst for your blood? Run, fight, and sneak your way across dry deserts, snowy mountains, and icy expanses on your quest to vanquish the ultimate guardians of the abyss. In Endurance Mode, the world is randomized each game and the death of your party is permanent.
  • Survival Mode: If you enjoy Endurance, but would rather build permanent structures and defenses, Survival Mode is where you’ll spend your time.
  • Creative Mode: With simplified crafting and the ability to adjust or eliminate the enemy threat, Creative Mode is a great place to build vast structures in peace.
  • Dragon Survival Mode: For those who like their trophies big and their hair singed and smoking, Dragon Survival Mode brings you up close and personal with wave after wave of the biggest, meanest, scaliest brutes in the game.

Worlds can be saved in any game mode (except endurance) so try building a castle with enemies turned off, then grabbing some friends and loading it up with enemies turned on!

They say there is a graphic overhaul and new stuff, but honestly game is still broken as ♥♥♥♥. They add stuff that no one cares about and don't bother fixing stuff that needs to be fixed. The new "Graphics Overhaul" is a joke. You can't tell a difference between day 1 xbox release and this. (Its a direct port of an xbox game btw).

♥♥♥♥ the devs who don't listen and who want to ruin a game that is fun with friends, but you can't play much due to bugs.

CastleMiner Z has its ups and downs, mainly downs, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it. I enjoy it because I used to play it on the Xbox 360 with my friends, and it gives me a tiny bit of nostalgia. The PC version of the game has had more updates and therefore has more content, so that just makes the experience even better for me. The point I'm trying to make with my review is that if you've never played this game before, you might be able to get into it, but you probably won't, and if you've played it before, this version of the game is even better.
