We often post gameplay battle mechanics here, but sometimes there are such funny hatchets on the levels.
It may seem that it is easy to pass these hatchets, but in fact this obstacle is much more difficult.

Scouts!

Long time no see, huh?

We were doing things along the way. We still did not recover well after this years’ Poznań Game Arena! Thank you for visiting the Star Drifters’ booth and all the chit-chats we did on-site. We’re glad you’re into Lumencraft! 🌑

The third issue of Maps Shootout was submitted on July 1st. Back then, there were 119 fully playable maps on Steam Workshop. A few months later you made 10 more.


Thank you for posting your maps and info about them in #share-your-map channel on our Discord 🎧 server. We selected three great maps for you - two of them are story-focused and the third one is just pure mayhem happening on screen! 💥🏃‍♂️💥

Without further delay…
Let the Maps Shootout 4 begin!

Just a reminder - the order does not matter - we’re just sharing maps that we find especially interesting 🧐.



Map name: Abberration
Author: SolarXD
Direct link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795957177

To quote SolarXD: “Explore an old Terran Conglomerate Geology Research Center and collapsed cave system. Recent scans show odd readings on the local wildlife No Waves. Mine and explore at your own pace.”

Our thoughts: such a fun map. Aberration’s showing the different face of Lumencraft - there’s no emphasis on the time aspect, so it’s easier to plan a mining trip or to venture deeper into the tunnels. Always take a weapon with you, but the spear or a pistol probably won’t do the work - you’ll need at least a machine gun and some grenades. Nonetheless, you’ll have to build some turrets to deal with bigger monsters located in many parts of the map.



Map name: lost miner 2.0
Author: Knur
Direct link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2798795109&searchtext=lost+miner
To quote Knur: “You are lost and you must return to your camp with a reactor.”

Our thoughts: this map gets better and better every minute. Learn to find your way - sometimes you’ll find a wide road, and sometimes you’ve got to drill through whatever you’ll find in front of you. Visit the abandoned places and fight the spiders. Be prepared - no one knows what’s happening just around the corner.



Author: UncannyHalcyon
Direct link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795397277&searchtext=high+score+
To quote UncannyHalcyon: “Hold the Line! 5x21 = 105 Waves. Already Fully Upgraded. Scoring: Enemy x5, Lumen Shard x10.

Our thoughts: such a rodeo! Grab your rocket launcher and machine gun and see GIGANTIC groups of enemies approaching your well-protected base (there are like dozens of turrets guarding it). High Score Hunt is just endless fun and a great way to relax after a really tough day.

Don’t forget that every map can be featured in the Maps Shootout.
We’re still waiting for your fantastic ideas. 👋.
