Becastled

“Becastled is a production with clear potential and some interesting ideas, offering both pleasing visuals and fairly well-developed systems for expanding your settlement and army. The changing seasons, which have a real impact on gameplay, are something I find quite rare and therefore greatly appreciate. However, I can’t ignore the fundamental flaws and shortcomings that hold this title back.”

“Attempting to mix a “cozy” city-builder with more challenging strategy elements is an odd choice, and problems with unintuitive controls and concepts hold it back”

“Becastled is a streamlined and satisfying blend of city builder, tower defense, and real-time strategy that is easy to pick-up and tough to put down at times.”

“Becastled surprised me. What started as “just another survival-builder” ended up being one of those games I kept thinking about even after putting it down. The tutorial could use work, and handheld players might struggle with the text, but there’s something undeniably fun about its blend of calm strategy and nighttime battles. If you enjoy games like Kingdom: Two Crowns but want something meatier and more hands-on, this is well worth your time. It’s cozy, it’s challenging, and built to last many gamer sessions.”

“With RTS elements, Becastled mixes city-building by day with Tower Defense by night, feeling like an original and fresh game, thanks also to its low-poly style.”
