The Game

The player assumes the role of a brave hero plotting out an exciting fantasy voyage through the medieval times filled with treachery, betrayal, battles and ambushes.

Historical uniforms, armory, siege weaponry, landscapes with stylish medieval buildings, realistically animated and highly detailed units, as well as a fully flexible zoom-in camera, and a stunning selection of tactical and strategic options - these features are what make CASTLE STRIKE an outstanding absorbing experience to be enjoyed by up to four players (in multi player mode).

The Aim

The player is confronted with evil-tempered neighbors and bloodthirsty robber knights that lurk around the dark forests of Central Europe. Furthermore, he must achieve various vital tasks. Amongst others these include: the upkeep of troops and servants, building castles and their fortifications, assaulting enemy strongholds, smoking out bandit camps, fighting glorious battles, and last but not least, rescuing lovely maidens from the brutal hands of dangerous barbarians.

The Mission

To earn this honor, the winner must first set-up camp and successfully master 27 missions. The single player campaign involves a neighboring conflict in the times of the Hundred Years’ War. The eventual fate is determined by the Rabenhorst family. Try to defend your family’s honor, mercilessly pursue your foes, and prove Henry the Fifth right:

And gentlemen in England now a-bed

Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

(Shakespear)
