About Castle Story

An epic adventure awaits you in Castle Story, a strategy game where you command friendly creatures called Bricktrons. Have them explore, carve, dig and gather resources from vast, spectacular floating islands, reshaping the voxel-based world to your desire! Design and build any structure you can imagine! From mighty and legendary castles to sprawling Bricktron villages. Beware, your Bricktrons will have to take arms and defend themselves against mysterious creatures, the Corruptrons. Build catapults and hurl explosive barrels at the invaders, or lure them into strategically placed traps! The physics system will also challenge the sturdiness of your architecture! A tower whose foundation is destroyed will crumble to the ground realistically. Castle Story is also a multiplayer experience! Challenge your friends to a round of Conquest or join forces with them to repel the enemies in the Co-Op Invasion gamemode. Of course, you can also group up in sandbox and build together! The maps in Castle Story are meticulously hand-crafted by the developers and we’re giving you access to the same tool we use! Create your own worlds with our awesome World Editor, share them with the community and

I love this game, but it was never finished, regardless of what Sauropod Studio claims

I love this game, but it was never finished, regardless of what Sauropod Studio claims. Can you play it? Yes, and you can sink hours into it. That doesn't make it polished or content rich. It just means they managed to get a decent play state for the existing game, and then abandoned it for another project. The studio has now failed for two obvious reasons; betraying the trust of their fans and failing to see their project through to the end. They blame Epic, E3, Covid, but fail to blame themselves. Who would back a new project when they never finished the first? Not their community. That's for sure.

This is the perfect example of a studio that has so many great ideas, but goes full spaghetti code

This is the perfect example of a studio that has so many great ideas, but goes full spaghetti code. Whatever they say, this game is not finished and sadly never will be finished..

I had high hopes for this game

I had high hopes for this game... I bought it a few years back in early access and had a lot of fun with it. No really, i loved this game. But you can only love a game this long if it is unfinished and the devs are slower with updates than a handicaped turtle. This game may say it's finished, but believe me, it's not. Sure, they added some new features as smithing and crafting over the years, but it still feels like an early access title. It's bugged, slow and sometimes very unresponsive. And that is after they hardcapped your units to 15, because they could not get their performance problems in check. In short: polishing is a foreign word for them and they don't seem capable of fixing existing problems. So what now? Are they promising to fix their game into a better state? Are they gonna implement the features they promised on Kickstarter? Nope... They have moved on to work on a new game silently. (They stated that in their forum in a clause) So probably no fixes for this one. I really like this game, but the devs are pathetic. They punched all their backers and buyers in the face with the silent abandonment and restrictions of gameplay rather than fixing their core engine. Not that the problems were something new... (Except if your new is since the beginning) Needless to say that this game is dead. The devs killed it without remorse. The conclusion at this point is: Don't buy the game. It hurts me to say that, it really does. I just hope, that they can develop their new game better this time. We don't want dev hell again. (A prime example of a semi failed kickstarter/ea game)
