Stronghold Castles: Firefly Studios Brings Medieval Strategy to Mobile

Firefly Studios, creators of the acclaimed Stronghold franchise, has launched a new mobile title - Stronghold Castles. This strategic castle-building game lets players construct fortresses, manage economies, and wage war - staying true to the series' beloved formula.

Start By Building A Mighty Fortress!

In Stronghold Castles, you assume the role of a medieval ruler developing a humble village into a thriving stronghold. Manage essential aspects of medieval life including agriculture, mining, armament production, and resource allocation.

Your governance choices impact peasant welfare - from taxation policies to... more controversial disciplinary methods. Design your dream castle with complete creative freedom, whether crafting a treacherous wooden fortification or an imposing stone citadel.

Once defenses are established, engage in intense PvP combat commanding diverse forces of knights, archers, and infantry. Conquer rival territories, plunder their assets, and work toward restoring your Manor Hall's prestige.

The game features classic Stronghold adversaries including the Rat, Pig, Snake, and Wolf factions. Battles emphasize quick tactical decision-making - storm enemy castles, seize resources, and reinvest spoils into your growing domain.
