## Description

Craft The World: Pocket Edition is a dwarf-led sandbox RTS that blends god-simulation with exploration and crafting. You guide a growing dwarven tribe, command digs, build a fortress, and defend your home in a dangerous world. This Pocket Edition includes all four worlds from the Steam version for a portable, immersive adventure.

Key features include a user-friendly crafting system for weapons, armor, and buildings; tower defense against waves of monsters; magic spells to aid dwarves; and procedurally generated islands with day/night, weather, biomes, and treasure-filled ruins. The game rewards exploration, resource gathering, and strategic planning as your dwarves expand their settlement.
