What is Castle Story?

In this building strategy game, you command Bricktrons on floating, block-based islands to dig, gather materials, build castles, and defend them from invading Corruptrons. You can build in sandbox mode, face invasions cooperatively, compete in Conquest, or create maps with the world editor.

+you enjoy designing castles that must withstand attacks
+you prefer slow-paced building and resource gathering
+you want to defend or build alongside friends

Not for you if...

−you prefer strategy games without construction or worker management
−you need a brisk pace from the start
