*Bandit Simulator TD* officially launches on October 12!
After being tempered by the last playtest, the bandits have improved a huge amount of gameplay, added tons of new content, and rebuilt many systems.
But Xiao Mang's games have always been refined through your prodding and feedback — so we await your opinions and suggestions!
Everyone is welcome to join our QQ group: 1077460329.
Here's a rundown of the current version's status and our future plans:
Full Version Content
- 27 main city levels, 9 wilderness map levels, 100+ enemy types, 200+ historical legendary characters
- Nine different management and crafting systems: Logging, Mining, Farming, Forging, Crafting, Alchemy, Construction, Research, and Training
- 11 building types: Hall of Gathering Heroes, Barracks, Recruitment Office, Academy, Training Grounds, Lumber Yard, Farm, Mine, Forge, Crafting Workshop, Alchemy Lab, and Tribulation Platform
- 629 pieces of equipment, 54 sets totaling 216 set items, 81 unique inner elixirs, 27 aptitude elixirs

- 27 base technologies, 14 advanced tech trees, 118 decorative buildings
This launch is the complete game content.
Future Update Plans
Although the game is complete, its framework is excellent and offers great extensibility.
So Xiao Mang still has plenty of ideas to bring to *Bandit Simulator TD*. I don't dare draw the pie too big all at once (neither of us wants to bite off more than we can chew).
But here are the confirmed major plans:
- Several large-scale dungeon gameplay modes
- Several different wonder buildings and their corresponding gameplay systems
- Stronger class-exclusive sets and growth-type equipment
- World Boss gameplay
- Character ascension (or reincarnation)
My games never have a fixed design document — you can also participate in drawing the pie (by suggesting more gameplay ideas)!
Solutions for Crashes or Being Unable to Enter the Game
- Crashes (mainly Win11 users): Right-click the game in your Steam library → "Properties" → select "Game Versions & Betas" → select "Win11 Stable"
- Can't enter (Win7 users only): Right-click the game in your Steam library → "Properties" → select "Game Versions & Betas" → select "Win7 Compat"
- Can't enter (NWjs error shown): Clean up your C drive to free up enough cache space. (The engine needs some virtual cache space.)
- 50-series GPUs: Please disable AI frame generation in your GPU settings, set the GPU to high-performance mode, or try updating your graphics driver.
If problems persist, you can contact me via email or the QQ group for one-on-one support.
Development Philosophy & Disclaimer
This game is set in an alternate-history framework.
All history, stories, characters, place names, religions, and allusions depicted in the game are based on artistic design and adaptation for gameplay purposes.
If anything differs from real history, or diverges from traditional cultural or religious understanding, please do not associate it with the real world or orthodox historical culture.
The author's knowledge is limited — this alternate world was created out of love and admiration for traditional culture and history.
If there are any errors or infringements, please let me know so I can correct them!
Awaiting Your Feedback
Because every new game from Xiao Mang has significant changes, I worry about whether everyone can adapt to a gameplay style that has never existed in the market before: **Tower Defense Combat + Base Building + Idle Clicker**.
So, once again with a nervous heart, I hope you'll enjoy this game!
If you run into anything uncomfortable, don't hesitate to prod me and tell me! I await your opinions and suggestions!
This game will surely grow into a great game — a classic — through your feedback!
Finally, I hope you'll follow Xiao Mang's Steam developer page. With AI games on the rise, I'm afraid we might lose track of each other T . T
