Firefly Studios, the masterminds behind the beloved Stronghold series, have just launched an exciting new mobile game titled Stronghold Castles. This latest addition to their portfolio brings the classic experience of building, farming, and battling to your mobile device, staying true to the essence of the Stronghold franchise.
Start By Building A Mighty Fortress!
In Stronghold Castles, you step into the shoes of a medieval Lord or Lady tasked with transforming a humble village into a formidable empire. Your journey involves managing various aspects of your realm, from farming and mining to weapon production and resource management.
To ensure the prosperity of your peasants, you'll need to strike a balance between taxation and, if necessary, a bit of medieval justice. Meanwhile, you have the creative freedom to construct your castle exactly as you envision it—whether it's a cunning wooden fortress filled with traps or an imposing stone citadel.
Once your defenses are robust, dive into the adrenaline-pumping PvP battles of Stronghold Castles. Lead your knights, archers, and men-at-arms to victory against rival lords, plundering their resources and advancing your own kingdom. Your overarching mission is to restore your Manor Hall to its former grandeur.
The game reintroduces iconic enemies from the Stronghold series, including the Rat, Pig, Snake, and Wolf, making for fast-paced and strategic confrontations. You can launch sieges against other players' castles, loot their riches, and use these gains to further enhance your realm.
