TopCraft

absolute trash. hasn't been touched since early access launch in september 2025 and it's beyond rudimentary and buggy. for starters, I spawned inside a wall, though I could still move. second time a wolf spawned 2 tiles from me and immediately started eating me (I wanted to find some enemies before giving up, got my wish). sometimes instead of an icon, the name of the current item is shown on the left, obviously not fitting the tiny space, looks bad and lazy. and there's no audio whatsoever. there's a game guide, both from the main and in-game menu, but it can't be scrolled, so not sure if there's more to it than a list of [b]non-rebindable controls[/b]. tried arrows, wasd, mouse, mouse wheel, also turning and shaking the monitor a bit, nothing doing. difficulty settings aren't explained, character creation is only cosmetic, saving anytime is possible, so there's one positive at least (but see below). it also looks nice enough and there's an ai toggle to stop all the entities from moving. otherwise they do their own thing even when the menu is brought up, [b]pausing is only possible with 'p' but you can still manage inventory and craft[/b]. and the menu is brought up every ♥♥♥♥♥♥…

It's... Really rough around the edges and with many bugs. While there are things that show promises, promises are empty until realized. The only thing it has going for it is that it's free right now, and I wouldn't spend time on this in its current state, given the numerous bugs and lack of content.

Has potential but unplayable. The worst thing is if you open the guide you cannot close it without resetting your world.

TopCraft is a game that immediately reminded me of the classic sandbox survival games I enjoy, but I liked how it puts everything into a simple top down perspective. I start with almost nothing and gradually turn a procedurally generated world into a place where I can actually survive. I enjoyed that sense of starting small and slowly building up because there is always another resource to collect or another part of the world to explore. The core gameplay revolves around gathering materials, crafting tools and building a base. I liked how quickly the basic loop starts working because chopping trees, mining resources and turning them into useful equipment gives me a constant reason to keep moving. Farming also gives the world a more peaceful side, while building lets me decide whether I want something practical or something that feels more like a proper little settlement. Exploration is another strong part of the experience. Every world is procedurally generated, so I never know exactly what I am going to find when I head away from my base. Forests, caves and dungeons all give me different reasons to explore, and there are plenty of creatures to deal with along the way. I enjoyed …

not very good yet

The game definitely has potential, but I encounter many glitches. It would be great if you added a feedback option in the game, so players can easily report the bugs we find and share ideas. Also, fix the workbench it doesn’t work and won’t let me place it.
