How co-op works
Two local players share a destructible underground map, drilling routes, gathering Lumen, and building one base. They coordinate turrets, resource runs, and twin-stick fire to repel raids while expanding through campaign, procedural, or custom scenarios.
About this game
Lumencraft drops you into dark, procedurally generated caverns where every wall is fully destructible and humanity's survival depends on the glowing resource called Lumen. This is a true co-op experience that weaves together top-down shooting, base building, and tower defense as you carve out tunnels, fend off hostile threats, and light up the underground.

You and your partner dig strategic paths, harvest Lumen, construct defensive towers, and manage scarce resources under constant pressure. The destructible terrain makes every decision spatial: where you tunnel changes sightlines, choke points, and escape routes. Communication is essential when coordinating excavation, defenses, and combat roles during waves of enemies.
The game supports local couch co-op with both shared-screen and split-screen options, plus Steam Remote Play Together for online sessions. Runs blend roguelike variety with campaign progression, creating tense, collaborative firefights where every tunnel you carve and turret you place can mean the difference between survival and collapse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Lumencraft online with a friend?
Yes, through Steam Remote Play Together. The game natively supports local couch co-op with shared-screen and split-screen options, but you can use Steam's Remote Play Together feature to play online with friends who own the game.
How does the destructible terrain affect co-op gameplay?
Every wall and surface can be dug through, so you and your partner need to coordinate where you tunnel. Your excavation choices directly shape sightlines, create choke points for defense, and open up escape routes-making communication crucial as you balance exploration, resource gathering, and defense placement.
Is there a campaign mode or just roguelike runs?
Lumencraft includes both. You'll find procedurally generated maps for roguelike variety as well as campaign levels with progression. This combination lets you experience structured story missions while also enjoying replayable runs with different layouts.
