New Xbox Indie Block Builder “CastleMiner” Released

Developer: DigitalDNA Games
Platform: Xbox 360 (Xbox Live Indie Games)
Price: 240 MSP ($3)

DigitalDNA Games, the Xbox Indie development team behind a variety of Avatar-based titles, has unveiled today it’s most recent Avatar creation called Castle Miner.

This block-building release is similar to the wave of voxel-styled Indie titles that have spawned from the mega-popular PC Indie Minecraft. Due to the success and popularity of the first XBLIG block-builder release, Fortresscraft, many XNA developers have taken note of the features offered in this gaming niche, and are looking to develop their very own adaptations of the genre.

CastleMiner

“You create your own world in CastleMiner. Play online with your Avatar and up to 15 of your friends. Build amazing worlds on a huge spanning landscape with over 200 block types! Mine treasures deep underground in a labyrinth of caves, different every time you play. Build worlds, save them and share them online.”

Features:

  • Social multiplayer experience with up to 16 players
  • Over 200 blocks to build with
  • Online world sharing
  • Randomized worlds for a unique experience with every playthrough

    how long does it take to migrate data

  • Sledgehammer78

    So far no problems for me. This is a rather enjoyable game that has kept me up until first morning light the passed two days. It’s also rather entertaining to play with friends, especialliy when undertaking huge projects and arguing with them merely for fun because you both agree.

    I’m down for building whatever on this game. Friend me if you want. GT: Sledgehammer78

    This Game is ausome for free biulders of the Minecraft world…….

  • Robbie

    is their gunna be a new update were u can get cars

  • Jakemcgrath

    Anybody play castle miner z, they took out ore island [thats what we call it]. I liked venturing to it with my friends, “It was an adventure worth taking that made a game worth playing,” 

  • Robot_bear

    this is better then minecarft becasue you  get to be online with freinds have guns and do alot of stuff without moods

    • Hunsuttedemin

      You can do that in minecraft too. Multiplayer is easy and doesnt require finding a server. You can host one yourself. If you want guns, you can download the gun mod (which i think there are several of) and those guns are probably even better than the castleminer guns.

  • Robot_bear

    And hey if the maker of the game reads this you should add more guns and more blocks, doors. and monsters in your nxt up date

  • Mrdupstep420

    no doors whats up with this you did it in castle miner z why not this me an my firends are always saying how much better it be if you could put a door on more then one kind to like bigger doors then others that way you could put them on castles theyd be bigger then a house door i just think the game would be alot better if you put this one little thing in the game

  • Some Gamer

    It doesn’t Suck! You play as your avatar and thats cool and by the way: when minecraft was as old as castle miner it also didn’t have doors

  • Nanoblade27

    too much like minecraft you guys are so bad that you have to copy it

  • ligte4rezine

    this game is great!!! its like minecraft with no monsters of fighting. you can play online with other players to see what they are building. for onley 80 microsoft points this is a steal!!! THUMBS UP IF THIS HELPED!!!
