But Xiao Mang's games have always been refined through your prodding and feedback — so we await your opinions and suggestions!

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)
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.
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
