We Build Below is a roguelite factory building game for 1-3 players. Think automation game but in a roguelite formula with a deep dive into tower defense elements! The game focuses on strategic decision making, adaptability and risk & reward.
Choose your character and preferred color. Each character will provide a unique perspective on how to play this game. Together with your friends you can make the perfect team for the job.
Build your factory deep underground on an alien planet with many unique biomes, each holding valuable, rare resources to mine. Your task is to collect, process and ship enough resources each day to become as rich as possible without being overrun by the parasites.
Defend your machines as they will produce a lot of nasty pollution that attracts dangerous parasites trying to destroy your factory. You can defeat these parasites using your characters’ weapons & tools or by placing turrets that will automatically defend your factory.
Discover lost treasure, upgrade your machines, and trade strategically. Each expedition is unique, with fresh ways to build and defend your factory.
