The event will start soon after the update lands on your platform.
Commanders!
In the new event, we will celebrate the arrival of spring with Evolife! Pay special attention to the new hangar on the city streets for the first time and to the new version of the Valley Bloom map! And, of course, to the new equipment! Read more about it below.
What's new:
Customizable UI
New titan: Heimdall
New Titan weapons: Dazzler and Lantern
New titan module: Onslaught Reactor
New drone: Whiteout
Balance Update
New legendary pilots: Misaki Ueno (Khepri), River Chase (Typhon)
Special editions: Kitsune Harpy, Augmented Scald, Spirit Razdor, Spirit Smuta
CUSTOMIZABLE UI
Combat HUD settings have finally arrived. With it, you will be able to reposition or resize any button on the screen. There are certain limitations: you can only move buttons (no indicators) and only within their designated “safe zones” (which are wide enough to cover most use cases though). Also, movement sticks and weapon buttons cannot be mirrored yet.
NEW TITAN: HEIMDALL
A new Support Titan is arriving in War Robots to the sound of the Gjallarhorn!
Just like other robots from Ragnarok Squad, Heimdall can switch modes.This is when the second ability of the Titan also changes. In Repair mode, Heimdall speeds up and repairs everyone around it. The second ability amplifies this effect. In Battle mode, Heimdall activates its in-built weapon and a physical shield, as well as increasing its own Damage and that of its nearest allies. Its special ability in this mode is a Suppression effect shot. But that’s not all: when it falls in battle, Heimdall emits one last powerful pulse which can repair even grey damage.
NEW TITAN WEAPONS: DAZZLER AND LANTERN
A super-heavy energy weapons for titans. They strike enemies with a special concentrated laser beams that temporarily blind the enemy’s aiming systems.
NEW TITAN MODULE: ONSLAUGHT REACTOR
A titan with the Onslaught Reactor module will be more effective at attacking standard robots and even more effective at attacking titans.
NEW DRONE: WHITEOUT
At first glance, this is a cute hilarious ball. But your first impressions will be deceptive. This is a ball of death with a unique electromagnetic field. The Whiteout drone turns off the abilities of all opponents around as soon as there is an enemy in the targeting reticle and within 100m radius.
BALANCE UPDATE
We are making a number of changes to the robots and their weapons. We based them on our own data and player surveys. Our key goal is to make essential pieces of equipment less essential. Another thing we want to do, is to reduce the power of dominant robots, putting it in line with other Tier 4 robots.
The results we achieved during this period exceeded our expectations. Firstly, we see how the game’s community grows on Discord – and that’s enormously satisfying. Secondly, we reached some of the milestones earlier than we expected. As 2Dynamic Games and Star Drifters, we would like to thank all of you for the trust you put in us. Cheers to that!
Speaking about numbers – we can finally share one of them. Let the meme speak for itself.
It’s hard to believe that we reached the 20 000 copies milestone in less than a week.
Once again: thank you very much. We believe that most of you enjoy Lumencraft. We know that our game is getting better every day.
There is other important news that needs to be shared. Today (April 20) marks the start of the Earth Appreciation Festival on Steam. To quote its description:
“the idea behind the event is to raise awareness of issues related to World Earth Day (April 22, 2022) such as pollution, overpopulation, rapid climate change, conflicts, and lack of sustainability. We're including games that show the Earth after things went bad (think: post-apocalyptic games) but also titles that remind the player that our planet is worth preserving (nature-focused games etc.)."
Celebrate Earth Appreciation Festival with us, buying the game with a -10% discount till April 26! Just a reminder – save 20% off 2 games by buying The Riftbreaker x Lumencraft Bundle.
Lumencraft (of course!) seemed like a perfect representation of the ideas and goals of the festival - people forced to mine tons of shiny minerals on a surface of a dark planet full of monsters can be read as a sad commentary on what the future may bring to humankind.
We hope that the situations you encounter in the game will always be just a piece of science-fiction. Everyone working on Lumencraft wishes our planet all the best – we’ll try to make it a place worth living repeatedly.
Last, but not least – we’re on our way to #PAX East 2022. Come to booth #15019 and say hi to the developers!
If you enjoy Lumencraft, please share your opinion with others. How should you do it? It does not matter - the choice is yours. It’s just a friendly request - nonetheless, we will be grateful.

We sincerely invite all our players to the Crescent Cup 2v2 Tournament! This is the first TFC Community Tournament since the launch of Early Access, organized by our faithful player HeavyBeber!
When?
The tournament is limited to 16 teams, so secure your spot as soon as possible! The TFC Crescent Cup will take place from 14 to 22 May. You have plenty of time to prepare with your companion for battle and learn about all the changes we will make to the game before the tournament.
Why?
It is worth participating in the tournament because we have also prepared awards for the best warriors - the winning team members will both be granted a 50 USD gift card. The 2nd place team members will be given a 25 USD gift card.
It's been 3 weeks since our little space survival terraforming game is out, and the community is already doing amazing stuff with Planet Crafter!
We wanted to give a shout out to everyone having fun with the game, and sometimes pushing it to the limit!
The ones looking for beauty
Some of you just want to create a perfect world, with nice colors and a sense of beauty.
The mega base builders
While some of you want to create the biggest structures and craziest bases!
The creative ones
And others just like to create new and impredicted things.
Next update
While we are not looking at Steam forums, or at the screenshots on our discord server, we are actively working on the next udpate.
We are planning to release it before the end of may! It will contains a lot of quality of life improvements, bugfixes, performances updates, and some new content!
Introduced a 9-floor end-game dungeon full of very difficult enemies with powerful accessories. These missions will reward the player with the strongest accessories. Once completed, you can go through it again (but the difficulty is increased).
The AI is now about 300% faster! Some units will still take a bit of time (Sorcerers and Commanders).
Some missions now have accessories attached to their description indicating what you will earn upon completion.
This game is a passion project of mine, and I've been working at it for a while. As a solo dev, it means a lot to me whenever someone tries out my game, so thank you for playing!
Hopefully you enjoy the game, and if you do, be sure to join the discord!
