About Castlehold

Castlehold is an innovative competitive strategy game, featuring the new Active Resource Control (ARC) System. Build your Army, lead your troops into Battle and see how you stack up against your opponent in fast-paced, strategic combat.

ACTIVE RESOURCE CONTROL (ARC)


Controlling or denying enemy gold-generating Villages on the Battlefield is the key to victory. You must decide when to hold onto your Villages, enabling you to deploy stronger, more expensive troops, when to advance taking the enemy’s Villages, and when to strategically retreat.


COLLECT YOUR TROOPS YOUR WAY


Recruit Squads of randomized Soldiers or directly acquire up to 4 daily Units not currently in your collection – all with the currency you’ve gained from Leveling Up and completing Quests. Win or lose, you’ll gain XP and earn currency rewards when you Level Up.


A WAR ACROSS TIME


Castlehold is set in a world where time and space have collapsed. Remnants of kingdoms and cities, both modern and old, have spread across islands over a vast ocean known as the Drift. Latent powers have awoken within humanity and those with selfish ambitions used their newfound abilities to reign over this new chaos. Now it is time to for you to raise an army and liberate the Remnants from their tyrannical oppressors.

Игра 'Castlehold' - это захватывающее сочетание стратегии и тактики с элементами строительства. Приятно удивила глубина игрового процесса, несмотря на кажущуюся простоту. Бои напряженные, каждый юнит имеет свои сильные и слабые стороны, что заставляет тщательно обдумывать расстановку. Разнообразие юнитов и кастомизация базы добавляют реиграбельности. Графика стилизована и приятна глазу, хотя и не поражает воображение. Интерфейс интуитивно понятен, что облегчает освоение. Музыкальное сопровождение не навязчивое и хорошо вписывается в атмосферу средневековья. Небольшим минусом можно назвать достаточно долгие матчи, особенно на поздних этапах игры, но это, скорее, плата за тактическую глубину. В целом, 'Castlehold' - это отличная стратегия, которая затянет на долгие часы. Рекомендую всем любителям жанра!

This review probably isn't necessary, but I figure I should leave on anyway. I gave this game a shot because of my past experience with 5th Cell's game series Scribblenauts, my absolute favorite game series. I hoped 5th Cell could get some comeback with this game, but with multiple painfully laggy menus and feeling like a mobile game for PC, there seems to be a lot to be desired with this game. A mobile game should not run as crappily as this one does on PC. It should have been made for mobile devices in the first place. That seems like a very huge missed opportunity. And honestly, to me it seems like it may be a bit too early for release, even for Early Access. Judging by the Discord for this game, it's abandoned. I don't know if I really care if I'm wrong. It certainly lacks community activity. In matches, you will be fighting bots 99% of the time I'm sure. If they expected to keep a community and gain money from the game in such an unfinished state, then unfortunately I guess that's just survival of the fittest. People will not stay playing a laggy game where all they do is fight a bunch of bots.

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
