Build a village worth defending
Raise a medieval settlement, bring it to life, and prepare for the night. Castle: Build & Defend combines castle building, resource management, and wave defense. Every day gives you time to expand. Every night puts what you built to the test.
Daylight is short. Each contract is a quick run of just a few minutes: gather resources, expand your village, and prepare for the next attack. Build another cottage, stockpile supplies, or reinforce your defenses? When night falls, you'll find out if you chose well.
Build a living village with workers, roads, farms, granaries and visible construction stages
Fortify it with walls, towers and ballistas
Defend against raiders, archers and battering rams
Take on contracts with different challenges and shortages
Aim for three crowns on every contract
From the first cottage to fortified walls
Gather timber, quarry stone, and grow grain. Build homes for settlers, store food in granaries, and connect your village with roads. Watch workers carry supplies and buildings take shape through visible construction stages.
Balance the needs of your growing settlement with the defenses that will keep it standing.
Make it stronger. Make it yours.
Upgrade your buildings and fortify your settlement with walls, towers, and ballistas. Add flowers, lanterns, and decorations to turn a cluster of cottages into a place worth living in.
Beauty has a purpose: it helps attract settlers and contributes to your contract rewards.
Hold until dawn
When night falls, raiders, archers, and battering rams approach your walls. Watch your defenses spring into action as your archers fire on approaching enemies. The walls and towers you placed during the day now stand between the attackers and your village.
Repair the damage and strengthen your defenses before the next assault. Surviving one night is only part of the job.
Every contract needs a different plan
Take on contracts with different goals and constraints. Shortages of resources, settlers, or fertile ground change what you can build, and what you need to protect.
Aim for three crowns: defend the castle, meet the settlement's requirements, and keep every cottage standing.
