Android Users Rejoice: Stronghold Castles, the City-Building Sim, Arrives!

Firefly Studios, renowned for the Stronghold series, has launched a new mobile installment: Stronghold Castles. This free-to-play title retains the series' core gameplay loop of building, farming, and engaging in strategic battles.

Construct Your Medieval Empire!

As the lord or lady of your medieval village, you'll transform a humble settlement into a thriving kingdom. Manage resources, oversee farming and mining operations, and even, perhaps, utilize a little… persuasion to keep your peasants productive. Construct a formidable castle, choosing between a cleverly trapped wooden fortress or a majestic stone behemoth.

Engage in Epic PvP Combat!

Once your defenses are established, prepare for intense PvP battles. Command knights, archers, and men-at-arms to conquer rival lords, plunder their resources, and ultimately restore your Manor Hall to its former glory. Classic Stronghold enemies, including rats, pigs, snakes, and wolves, return to challenge your strategic prowess. These quick, tactical battles allow for frequent sieges and resource acquisition, fueling your kingdom's expansion.
