About this game Read the full description
Sidescrolling Castlebuilder. Real-time strategy game.
The emperor has lost control over his kingdom! Now he has appointed you as the leader of a new conquest.
Become a master of castle building and defense in this genre-blending sidescroller game. As you construct and fortify your fortress, you'll have a variety of defenses at your disposal, including walls, towers, and traps. But the real fun begins when it's time to launch a counterattack on the hilariously-voiced foes who dare to challenge you.
A quaint city in the Green Fields bustling with life. Each villager will talk to you when you click them. Their opinion of you will become quite clear!
A quaint city in the Yellow Dunes under attack. Wooden walls are not as strong as their stone counterparts but when combined with upgrades such as firebraziers and towers they can make a formidable defense.
Siegetowers are a powerful tool for getting units onto enemy walls. Only an extremely good defense can prevent this.
Hot air balloons are the way you can transport units between floating islands. They can also be used as flying weapons if you place archers in these balloons.
The Red Depths are where your greatest fear lies. The fire will spread and is hard to extinguish and the enemy is strong. Here you will face a ghost trying to become mortal once again.
This game is a linear singleplayer experience. Available are over 26 levels across six different worlds allowing for roughly 15 hours of gameplay in the main campaign. Additionally, there are 12 challenging siege mode levels allowing for more gameplay after finishing the story. The game can be quite challenging but difficulty settings are available to tailor your experience. You will encounter fully voice acted characters, both friendly and villainous. The game includes a wide range of units each with their own unique abilities and a great variety in structure types.
