Update 1.9.7.7 is now in Beta testing. Defeat monster spawners!

We have a fun build ready for testing in the Beta branch. Check out monster spawn blocks. Here's a breakdown of the current version.

* Spawn Blocks can be found in Scavenger Mode only (we'll expand this to other modes after testing and feedback).
* Spawn blocks come in two forms: Grey (easy) and Red (challenging)
* Right click on a spawn block to activate it.
* Active blocks will light up and begin flashing.
* Waves of skeletons and zombies will arise from the block.
* If you defeat all the enemies, the spawn block transforms into a loot block.
* If two (or more) spawn blocks are in close proximity, they might cause a chain reaction and all activate!

This build also fixes the bug that prevented players from harvesting their own teleport blocks for re-use.

Please let us know what you think. We're going to be balancing the waves and behavior based on player feedback. We also have more plans for future features regarding spawn blocks, so stay tuned!

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!

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!

This is fun and irratating at the same time... I wish some of the gameplay was in Minecraft or SurvivalCraft; Love how Zombies will dig for you and the Dragon, makes it more of a survival game... Yet, there are so many more irratations that it is hard to recommend Fully...

I recommend this as it is Cheap to buy and Fun to play for a peroid...

A decently fun game if you can pick it up for like $1. I had fun on it with my friends on the Xbox 360 and decided to grab it on PC when it was on sale. I never really play but it's a decent game.
