Mindustry is a factory-building game with tower defense and RTS elements. Create elaborate supply chains to feed ammo into your turrets, produce materials to use for building, and construct units. Command units to capture enemy bases, and expand your production. Defend your core from waves of enemies.
Play through the campaign alone or with with your friends in cross-platform multiplayer co-op and challenge them in team-based PvP matches.
Mindustry is amazing. The kind of game you can waste a ridiculous number of hours on. Every time I pick it up, I know I’m not going to be doing anything constructive for a few days until I’ve finished that planet.
I’ve only ever played it on an Android smartphone. (And I’ve only ever played the version that’s available on F-Droid.) I’m a little scared to install it on my desktop machine for fear I may never be heard from again.
I’ve spent far too much time playing this since you introduced this to me! Great recommendation!
Got it from the iOS App Store will try it out during my lunch break. Was it a but inspired by factorio?
