Description
Volcanoids is a base-building open-world survival shooter that replaces the boring old base with a steampunk drill. Alone or with up to 3 other crewmates, explore an ever-changing volcanic island, build out your drill, and fight hostile machines to reveal what's been hiding in the depths of the underground.
EXPLORE AN EVER-CHANGING VOLCANIC ISLAND
Explore a seemingly abandoned island cursed by persistent eruptions. Utilize your drillship's ability to travel underground to survive these eruptions as you discover new parts of the island, gather resources, and uncover secrets.
BATTLE ROBOTS AND DESTROY THEIR MACHINERY
Battle hostile mining robots of all shapes and sizes who roam the island's surface as well as underground. Capture any of their resources and technology that might be useful and destroy the rest.
CRAFT, UPGRADE AND AUTOMATE
The "drillship" is your very own mobile fortress. Customize it from inside out using the building system. Progress through technology tiers to upgrade, expand, automate, and weaponize different parts of the drillship.

I never leave reviews. This game is a gem. I played this with a friend 1-2 years ago we had an amazing playthrough even though there were some obvious improvements that needed to be made. Since then we've both monitored
The best game of its kind. All of the mechanics mesh together really well. It feels quite well balanced for both multiplayer and single player. Also the only game where you pilot a drillship destroying enemies that I
6/3/2026: I played this game back in 2014 I believe and it was good then, but I kind of got bored with it. I returned to it recently, and let me tell you this game has improved a whole lot in 12 years. The details are
