Survival hinges on crafting, base-building, and tower-defense against nightly creature waves, all within a fully destructible 2D world where gravity, water flow, and structural weight genuinely affect what can be built. The dynamic water system and the long crafting progression are recurring talking points among reviewers. Difficulty is pitched at the challenging end, and the systems interlock tightly once understood. It runs 11.99 USD and holds a strong 91% positive across 2,032 Steam reviews, with a Metacritic score of 76. ## Game info - **AppID:** 315460 - **Developer:** Gaddy Games - **Publisher:** Gaddy Games - **Genres:** Action, Strategy, Indie, RPG - **Categories:** Multi-player, Single-player, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Steam Trading Cards, Online PvP, Online Co-op, PvP, Family Sharing, Custom Volume Controls, Stereo Sound, Playable without Timed Input, Adjustable Difficulty, Save Anytime, Co-op - **Released:** Jul 10, 2018 - **Free to play:** no - **Metacritic:** 76 - **Platforms:** windows ## Links - [Full page with filters and more lists](https://imho.run/games/315460/dig-or-die) - [The same list as JSON, no key](https://imho.run/api/agent/games-like?q=315460&n=20) — the API for AI assistants, see https://imho.run/developers - [Steam store](https://store.steampowered.com/app/315460/) - [Personalized recommendations](https://imho.run/) — sign in with Steam or paste a SteamID for a library-aware ranking --- *Markdown version of https://imho.run/games/315460/dig-or-die for AI assistants (also served for `Accept: text/markdown`).
