City-Building Sim Stronghold Castles Is Now Out On Android!

Firefly Studios, renowned for its Stronghold series, has launched a new mobile game: Stronghold Castles. This latest installment retains the series' core gameplay loop of building, farming, and battling.

Construct Your Medieval Empire!

In Stronghold Castles, you assume the role of a medieval lord or lady, tasked with transforming a humble village into a powerful kingdom. Manage resources, oversee farming and mining, and oversee weapon production. Maintain a thriving populace through careful taxation (and perhaps a touch of judicious torture!). Design and construct your castle – a trap-laden wooden fortress or a formidable stone behemoth – to your liking.

Once your defenses are established, engage in thrilling PvP battles. Command knights, archers, and infantry to conquer rival lords and plunder their resources. Your ultimate objective: restore your Manor Hall to its former glory.

Classic Stronghold foes – rats, pigs, snakes, and wolves – return to challenge you. Engage in quick, strategic battles, besieging opponents' castles, looting their riches, and using your spoils to enhance your kingdom.
