In the end CastleMiners Z brings about much the same feel of playing Minecraft, however it adds more of a dark side to it. The only other enemy is the demon which only will spawn if you enter hell. Skeletons prefer to hide underground in caves and ambush you while you are trying to mine that p recious diamond. The other most common monster is the skeleton. As you travel farther away from the spawn the zombies get tougher, with some being able to jump around ten blocks up in the air. So if you find the night approaching you may want to take shelter. Zombies are a bit more of a nighttime monster only spawning in the dark however at night they seem to never stop spawning. Aliens always spawn as long as you are near a meteor, and dragons mostly spawn when you enter a new biome.

However that isn’t always perfect because there are some things that don’t care what time it is. The majority of the monsters only come out at night so having a suitable shelter to wait out the night in is a requirement. Laser- Super weapons, bullets fired destroy blocks, made out of space rocks and space goo.Bloodstone– great weapons, high damage, diamond bullets fired.Diamond– good weapons, great damage, gold bullets fired.Gold– medium weapons, good damage, iron bullets fired.Iron– basic weapons, low damage, basic bullets fired.Assault Rifle– long ranged, fast firing.Submachine gun– medium ranged, rapid firing.Pistol– starting weapon, close range, and only effective on weaker enemies.

There are multiple types of guns and the guns themselves can be made from a multiple of things. In CastleMiners Z instead of having to relying on just a sword or a bow to defend yourself you get guns. But the space rocks and goo are used to make laser weapons, the best in the game.Īs shown in the picture above you probably might need something better than a sword to fend these guys off. This isn’t the safest place to stay because nearly invincible space aliens spawn there. Space rocks are found in randomly generated meteor crash sights, with the glowing goo inside. Finally we get to the recently added space rocks and space goo. Lanterns are an alternate a source of lighting to those who don’t feel like using torches. Bloodstone can only be mined by a diamond and if you take the time to build one, a bloodstone pickaxe is the best in the game. Bloodstone is a rock that is found just above and inside of hell, that’s right no more empty void to fall down now we get hell. Copper however is useful when used to make bullet casings. Copper is a step up from stone but a step down from iron and in tool making it is widely overlooked. New block items include copper, bloodstone, blocks of lava instead liquid lava, lanterns, space rocks, and space goo.

This however is where it first begins to show its own identity.
Castle miner z aliens upgrade#
You start from basic tools made of wood and stone and you mine for things like iron, coal, and diamonds to upgrade your tools, and weapons. However it first sets itself apart by improving on the graphics then by completely adding guns. The game is largely based upon Minecraft, using the same block building style with no actual goals. The reason behind the success is that they simply took a great idea an added their own twist. CastleMiners Z, created by DigitalDNAGames, is the best-selling Xbox Live Indie Game to date.
