Wild creatures

A host of new wild creatures have entered the world of CrafTAE, designed to complement the Druids taming ability and provide fresh possibilities for your growing roster of companions.

Lock pause

You can now pause during combat, but only to pan around and plan your next move (and maybe breathe a little ), everything else is locked. No card movement, no stacking and no crafting.

Async production

There is no need to stack cards on the right order anymore (Campfire + Raw Meat + Wood), a whole messed up and disordered stack will still craft an intended recipe (1 Campfire + 9 Raw Meat + 2 Wood, in this order, will result in 2 Cooked Meat, for instance).

And rememberthe CrafTAE DEMO is FREE, you should play it!

Hello, everyone! I hope everything is going well.

Potyguara here again from mappe, and today Im talking about Dungeon Cards in CrafTAE .

There are currently 9 dungeon cards in the game and they are filled with creatures from the CrafTAE universe, Terra nshna. Join our Discord if you want to learn more and follow the games development progress!

Heres the link:
TAE Discord
The goal of a run is to defeat the dungeon by facing different kinds of enemies that spawn in waves.

Each dungeon has 3 difficulties: Basic, Advanced, and Expert.

• Basic has 6 enemy waves;
• Advanced has 12 enemy waves;
• Expert also has 12 waves, but with an added dungeon trait to increase the challenge!
  

And rememberthe DEMO is FREE, you should play it!

Hello to all of you! Hope everything is good.

I'm Potyguara, from mappe and I'm here today to talk about biome cards in CrafTAE .

There are currently 10 biome cards in the game. They are:

Plains
Forest
Mountains
Kalforj
Suverforj
Kisilforj
Libershor
Nor'Linn Selend
Orcelia

Each biome corresponds to a region in the CrafTAE universe, called Terra nshna. Join our discord if you want to know more about it.

Here is the link:

https://discord.gg/dmnWEFzyNg


Anyway, there are some basic resources like WOOD, STONE and BERRIES, which dictates the basic gameplay of the game. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock biomes containing unique materials, such as IRON. That will allow you to go further in the game, building iron structures and crafting iron equipment. The same applies to other biome cards. Each one has its own characteristics (resources), as described above.

That means a lot of replayability, given that you have a lot of ways to obtain the same goal, which is to defeat the dungeon, making use of 300+ cards in the game.

If you are curious about it, check out this no commentary gameplay from FullThrough. He played through the tutorial and a basic difficulty run.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aQBx9G406M

The DEMO is free, you should play it!

Hello to all of you! Hope everything is good.

My name is Potyguara, from mappe and I'm here today to talk about our roadmap for CrafTAE . Here is the plan.

March 2025

April 2025

May 2025

June 2025

July 2025

The DEMO is free, you should play it!

Hello to all of you! Hope everything is good.

My name is Potyguara, from mappe.

I'm here today to announce our game, CrafTAE! Those of you who enjoy card games will enjoy this one for sure! CrafTAE is a village builder roguelite where you stack cards to settle your people and defeat a dungeon.

What dungeon?

Well, the standard gameplay consists on a round where you select two biomes (each one with its own resources and characteristics) and a dungeon to resist its waves of enemies and overcome its challenge by combining over 300 cards. Do so and you will unlock new biomes and new dungeons, as well as new ways to win the next round.

And, if you want to spice it up, there is the random game option!

We have a free DEMO live right now!
