Firefly Studios, the creators of the beloved Stronghold series, have launched a new mobile game titled Stronghold Castles. This latest addition to the franchise allows players to engage in the familiar activities of building, farming, and battling, echoing the core gameplay of its predecessors.
Start By Building A Mighty Fortress!
In Stronghold Castles, you take on the role of a medieval Lord or Lady tasked with transforming a humble village into a powerful domain. Your responsibilities include managing farming, mining, weapon production, and resource allocation.
To ensure your peasants prosper, you'll need to strike a balance between taxation and, if necessary, more drastic measures like torture. Meanwhile, you have the freedom to design your castle according to your vision—whether it's a trap-laden wooden fortress or an imposing stone citadel.
Once your defenses are fortified, Stronghold Castles plunges you into intense PvP battles. Lead your knights, archers, and men-at-arms to victory against rival lords, seizing their resources to bolster your own kingdom. Your ultimate objective is to restore your Manor Hall to its former grandeur.
The game reintroduces iconic enemies from the Stronghold series, such as the Rat, Pig, Snake, and Wolf. The battles are fast-paced and strategic, offering opportunities to besiege other players' castles, plunder their resources, and use these gains to further enhance your realm.
