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

Fortify Your Fortress!

As the Lord or Lady of your medieval village, your task is to expand a small settlement into a powerful kingdom. Manage resources, oversee farming and mining, and even utilize taxation (and perhaps a touch of medieval justice). Construct your dream castle – a trap-laden wooden fortress or a formidable stone behemoth – to protect your domain.

Once your defenses are established, engage in intense PvP battles. Command knights, archers, and soldiers to conquer rival lords and plunder their resources. Your ultimate goal: restore your Manor Hall to its former glory.

Classic Stronghold enemies – rats, pigs, snakes, and wolves – return to challenge you. Engage in swift, tactical battles, besieging opponents' castles, and using your spoils to enhance your kingdom.
