A warfare-oriented strategy created by Blowfish Studios, notable for the warmly-received Gunscape. Siegecraft Commander takes us to a fantasy universe, fought iver by Knights of Freemoi and tribes of Lizardmen. The game offers a single player campaign, allowing the player to control both factions. In this case, the game is similar to a traditional real-time strategy.
Siegecraft Commander is a warfare-oriented strategy released for PC, PS4 and XONE. The game was developed by Blowfish Studios, a team responsible for well-received Gunscape.
Siegecraft takes us to a fantasy universe, which is contested by two factions – swashbuckling Knights of Freemoi and ferocious Tribal Lizardmen. Developers incorporated a singleplayer campaign that allows players to lead both sides of the conflict, which are rather light-hearted, accordingly to the nature of the game.
Siegecraft Commander is a strategy game that incorporates both styles of the genre – real time, as well as turn-based. The singleplayer mode limits oneself to real-time, while multiplayer modes allow choosing between both gameplay styles. Gameplay mechanics had been inspired by tower defense genre, with the gameplay itself boiling down to encounters between both sides, with every side building their own stronghold. Inside, each participant builds fortifications and towers, necessary for building troops and shelling enemy structures.
During every match, we slowly expand our fortress, taking over more and more areas of the map, bringing us closer to enemy structures. However, each tower has to have a direct connection to the center – if the chain is broken, all remaining links are also destroyed. Such situation isn’t a rare occurrence – both sides have access to really powerful weaponry. This forces the players to create complicated networks of buildings, capable of enduring some losses.
Each level of the story campaign was created to be somewhat of a logical riddle, requiring spot-on solutions for the problems presented by the authors. On the other hand, multiplayer games are more nonchalant, offering a number of modes to choose from. Players wishing for some practice can host a game against AI-controlled opponents.

Game Ratings for Siegecraft Commander Video Game.
Digitally ed: 3 / 5 by Matt Sainsbury
If you were to think of Siegecraft Commander as a proof-of-concept, then it’s a mighty fine one. In the tradition of Worms Forts it’s an intriguing base-building strategy game, and the real-time nature of it solves one of the bigger issues of Worms Forts: that it could be bogged down to almost stalemate, making games drag on for ages. That being said, the game does need a lot more than what it’s offering, and as with all indie games, I wonder about the wisdom of making the game so heavily reliant on multiplayer. When players have to wait around for however long just to get a game going, they’re just as likely to go and play something else instead.
PS4Blog.net: 8 / 10
Siegecraft Commander on PlayStation 4 is a fun release with a good mix of strategy/tower defense. You'll quickly learn the basics during the first handful of levels, and after that, it's a fun ride as you try to unlock the game's Platinum trophy. Slow and steady wins the race, so take your time to learn each map as you work towards grabbing the miscellaneous trophies in this short list. As a tip, I'd suggest trophy hunters focus on the multiplayer for their trophy needs since all trophies can technically be unlocked in offline multiplayer.

While launching towers to expand your base is a fun mechanic and visual, you are essentially made to draw a bow in the direction you wish to fire: the more the bow is drawn the further the tower will launch.
