Heroes and Castles is a third-person RPG in which Orcs and Goblins attempt to breach the castle gates. With the King on the brink of death, himself, you’ll aim to ward off the increasingly determined waves of the undead, as you ultimately en devour to complete your mission and keep the castle (and everyone in it) – safe.
Choose one of 3 powerful heroes, summon an army to fight beside you, and defend your castle in Heroes & Castles, a seamless blend of 3rd person Action-RPG, Strategy, and Castle Defense elements!
Updating to version 2.0, yesterday, the latest version of Heroes and Castles now includes a competitive player-vs-player mode, which will allow both you and a friend to play Good vs Evil. In this mode, players will both aim to earn “rank” points as they battle their way up the worldwide leaderboards to reign victorious.
In addition to the above, Heroes and Castles 2.0 also includes a new single player “Siege Mode”. In this mode you’ll get to play as the “Evil” orcs, with the goal of smashing down the castle gates in a siege to take control of the enemy castle.
Alongside introducing new gaming modes, the game has this week also received two new “Heroes” which players can now choose to play as. The first is the “Elven Ranger,” who wields a long ranged bow, and can summon a giant “Treeman” as his special back-up unit. Joining the Ranger is that of the “Mage.” Just as with the “Mage” character seen in titles such as, Skyrim: The Elder Scrolls, this character is capable of casting powerful magic spells, and – in Heroes and Castles 2.0 – has the added ability of being able to summon an armored turtle-like native warrior as his special unit.
Complete with an ‘alternate’ choice of skins for each of your chosen heroes, the update includes a whole range of other bug fixes and additions, including:
- Fixed a major bug which would cause some people to have their profiles corrupted
- Added an automatic data restore for people who have lost all of their progress in the Campaign and crash on level 1
