Cavernus

New in 1.11: after the Crystal comes home, a blue portal opens somewhere on Level 3 — it leads to Vaelthar, a walled Dragonfolk kingdom in a vast cavern, with a tavern, blacksmith, dozens of homes, a fountain garden, dragon statues and a white castle. Its blue-and-white Dragon King sends you to wipe out five Orc warlords in the Ashen Warrens… then throws you in his dungeon. Break out, take back your gear, fight across the city and become the King of Cavernus. Also: abort any mission and go home (it resets cleanly), crafting buttons light up the moment you can afford them, and villagers no longer mine the blocks builders place or the levelled ground — and level it much better.

A max-security inmate is pulled through a portal onto Cavernus, a rogue planet miles underground and lit only by glowing flora.

1.10: play in 18 languages — English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Español, Português (Brasil), Русский, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Polski, Türkçe, Bahasa Indonesia, العربية, ไทย, Tiếng Việt and हिन्दी — and a full balance pass so an average player can beat the whole story: friendlier temples and Bone Castle, a fairer Crystal Warden, and tougher-but-fair Godborn Titans and mirror demons.

New in 1.9: phone and tablet touch controls; a 50% bigger first level with extra temples and castles guarding relics the Broker wants; rare far-off plants and elder monsters; walking war mechs; mass-summoned knights and village rites; map waypoints; flying melee bosses; staggered, room-by-room raids.

• Co-op (beta): friends signed in to PlayDrop can join your world, see each other and see each other's building and mining
• Explore cave forests, fungal forests, stalagmite caverns and crystal gardens; fish the rivers, dodge giant piranhas and glowing frogs, and hunt steamhorns around scalding geysers
• Find deep shrine lakes with rare ores, starmetal, waterstone and an island shrine whose artifact grants blessings — desecrate it and an angry spirit rises
• Defeat the Crystal Warden and fight across a Colorado university campus to break the barrier to the deep levels
• Recruit up to 50 inmates and run an automated village that builds, bridges rivers, levels the ground, fletches arrows, makes ladders and builds a Bathhouse
• Command your army: follow me, go there, hold here, enlist everyone or disband; escorts and guards always get the best gear first
• Forge swords, armor and bows from iron to adamantium; craft revolvers, MP5s, AK-47s, M4A1s, shotguns, miniguns, railguns, RPG-7s and sniper rifles
• Storm castles held by skeletons, death knights, necromancers and dark elves
• Fight off US Marshals, the US Army and a ruthless cartel; raid Earth's labs, depots, armories, a suburb and a shopping mall room by room
• Side quests: fill the Broker's order, take his New Zealand contract, win a beach villa, then sell him $100 million of loot
• Push through three levels to the Great Crystal, then follow the Hooded One to a possessed New York for the real ending
