About the Game

Welcome to 《Pickaxe Friends》! Are you ready to venture deep underground with your cute miner companions in search of treasure? But beware! Countless enemies are swarming in, eyeing your precious mine.

This is a deck-building roguelike defense game that maximizes 'combination' and 'timing'—the core fun of the defense genre. Crafted by a developer who has spent 10 years single-mindedly researching defense games, we invite you to a world of thrilling defense that is easy to pick up, but deeply challenging to master.

⛏️ Your Own Miner Army, Your Own Strategic Deck No more repetitive gameplay every match! Buy powerful units and spell cards from the shop to build your own unique strategic deck. Your distinct defensive line will take shape depending on how you combine your cards.

⚔️ Thrilling Action Born from Counters and Timing Every enemy that appears has a clear counter. Position your units to exploit their weaknesses, and unleash skills at the perfect, decisive moment! Experience the heart-pounding, gripping fun unique to defense games.

💎 Relic Collection and Endless Growth System Gather hidden treasures (relics) in the underworld to permanently enhance your traits. With each passing round, your units will grow tougher and more powerful. Enjoy the true pleasure of roguelike progression.

⚖️ Bold Choices: Shop and Altar You can refine your deck at the shop, but sometimes you can sacrifice something precious at the altar to gain powerful resources. High risk, high reward! Your choices will shift the tides of the game.

We highly recommend this game to: Beginners who want to dive into the defense genre (Easy accessibility!) Hardcore players who love theorycrafting deep deck-building and strategic synergies Anyone who wants to experience the essence of a well-made defense game packed with 10 years of expertise!
