About This Demo

Castles of War is a side-scrolling real-time strategy game of conquest, courage, and creation. Raise armies, command formations, and fight across hand-crafted pixel battlefields in a war-torn fantasy world.

In Castles of War, you control your kingdom from the front lines. Rally troops, build outposts, and break enemy lines in a dynamic battlefield where timing, positioning, and resource management decide victory. The battlefield evolves as you fight. You can burn bridges, level forests, and watch as your enemy's fortifications crumble.
