Wall World Strategy is a real-time colony sim set on the face of an endless vertical Wall. You build roads and living areas around the Core, keep colonists fed and calm, mine the depths, send robo-spiders on expeditions and hold off repeated zyrex attacks. Time can be paused while you plan.

What kind of game this is

Release date trailer from the Steam store page — Official trailer
  1. A colony, not a single machine — Wall World and Wall World 2 are action roguelites about one robo-spider. This spin-off is about the towns and outposts that keep those expeditions going, now in detailed 3D with zoom down to individual workers.
  2. Real time with pause — The game runs in real time rather than in turns, and you can pause at any moment to plan builds or your answer to a wave or an emergency.
  3. Single-player only — Steam lists Single-player, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. No co-op or multiplayer mode is listed.
  4. Colony sim with tower defense — Steam files it under Simulation and Strategy; the top player tags are Colony Sim, Base Building, Survival and Tower Defense.
