Age Of Castle Overview
Age of Castle was one of those games you'd find in the late 2000s, tucked away on a Flash gaming portal. It fit right into that era of straightforward, browser based strategy titles you could play for a few minutes between other tasks. The premise was simple and familiar.
You start as the ruler of a small, vulnerable castle. Your first actions are to click on the castle itself, ordering the construction of new walls and towers to expand your territory. You manage a small population, directing some characters to become soldiers who patrol the perimeter, while others become workers who gather gold from the surrounding landscape. The main objective is to survive and grow your kingdom by fending off waves of attackers, depicted as hostile tribesmen who approach from the edges of the map. The pacing is steady, with moments of quiet resource gathering interrupted by sudden assaults that require quick redeployment of your forces. It was not an easy game; a single breach in your walls could lead to a rapid defeat. The experience feels focused and tactile, centered on the direct, mouse driven control of each unit in your small domain.
