Warriors & Castles

This game has now been in early access for almost five years. Plus, who knows how long this game has been abandoned for...? Picked it up for less than a dollar years ago, only reviewing it now before I file it away in a collection titled "GAMES TO NEVER PLAY AGAIN" and hide it from my library. Good things about this game? You can probably pick it up for less than a dollar every so often. And... it runs? Sort of? Bad things about this game... Well, play it and you'll see. It's not worth even what I paid for it, and you're better off playing "Open World Game: The Open World Game" -- those who've played that title will have experienced more content than is included in this game. Warriors & Castles has less to offer than most pre-alpha titles I've played. But if you really want to experience this... game? Yeah, game. Buy it, play it for fifteen minutes, then order a refund.

So I just tried to play Warriors & Castles, a game I bought back in 2015—but haven’t launched until now. The conceit is that this is a medieval Capture the Flag. You can be a knight, an archer, or a wizard. And the goal is to get inside the castle and defeat your opponent’s queen. There’s just one issue—it’s a PvP game, and the servers are a ghost town. No one’s playing. Whoops. So instead I opted for a bot match. And unfortunately, the bots aren’t too smart. I pretty much just avoided them and stormed the castle gates. Tediously, it took a long time to break them down. I died lots in the process. But after many, many respawns, I finally defeated the queen. The win was very unceremonial. I just got text on my screen that said “Victory”—then a chance to start over again. Since I knew the result would be the same, yet would be just as tedious, I opted not to continue. In all, it took me 40 minutes. I guess I “beat” the game. Or, at least, as much as a PvP with bots would allow. I will say this much for Warriors & Castles. For a game that started development in 2015, it still looks somewhat okay. Not impressive, but okay. Do I recommend this? No, Warriors & Castles is stuck in…

I recommend this game.

Lovely Little game. altho there isnt much of a online compatition there is a lovely coop. i enjoy fighting the AI (NPC) In this game with my friend. Its fun as you can play with Knight , Archer & Mage. Its a fun little battle you can play . Would recommand when you're Bored. Not good graphics but lovely gameplay. 6,5/10

Warriors & Castles is an abandoned early access cartoony third person arena brawler. Control cell shaded low poly colourful medieval warriors and fight other players... if there were any. Because the game is multiplayer and is abandoned by the developers before being finished (thanks Valve, your Early Access concept is a resounding success... not), it's unplayable except for badly mad botmatching. Even if the game wasn't abandoned, it's putting low effort low poly graphics up against games with actual gameplay like Mount & Blade, and arena fighters with actual graphics like Chivalry. There was obviously no avenue for success here, which makes it likely that the game is just a shovelware cash grab. Obviously don't buy this.

good game but no people play
