Android Now Hosts Epic City-Building Sim Stronghold Castles

Firefly Studios, renowned for the Stronghold series, launches a new mobile title: Stronghold Castles. This free-to-play game retains the series' core elements of building, farming, and battling.

Fortify Your Fortress!

As the Lord or Lady of your medieval village, you'll transform a humble settlement into a powerful kingdom. Manage farming, mining, weapon production, and resources. Tax your peasants (wisely!), perhaps even employ a little… persuasion. Construct your castle to your liking: a trap-laden wooden fortress or a mighty stone stronghold.

Engage in Epic PvP Battles!

Once your defenses are secure, engage in intense PvP battles. Command knights, archers, and men-at-arms to defeat rival lords and plunder their resources. Your ultimate goal: restore your Manor Hall to its former glory.

Familiar foes from the Stronghold series—rats, pigs, snakes, and wolves—return. Engage in quick, tactical battles, besiege opponents' castles, and use your spoils to expand your kingdom.
