Castle Story is a creative voxel-based strategy game in which you can build castles one brick at a time using an army of little creatures called Bricktrons. Design and build your own castles, expand your territory in a vast landscape and defend your Bricktrons against onslaughts of hostile creatures.

How it plays

Building castles one brick at a time in voxel space is the core creative loop and primary interaction. Real-time strategy commanding an army of Bricktrons to build and defend territory is the central system. Constructing and expanding castles and settlements is a core pillar of play.

How it's structured

Open creative building with player-set goals in a vast landscape with few imposed objectives defines the experience. A large continuous landscape explorable and expandable in player-chosen order. The landscape and initial territories are deliberately authored; creative building is player-authored.
