Citadels invites fans of real-time strategy games and medieval sagas to pick sides: starting today, you decide whether to join the forces of good or evil and rewrite the entire Arthurian legend in the process. The game is available on Steam as a downloadable PC game, and as well as in a boxed retail version for € 39.99, $ 39.99, £ 37.99.
Citadels contains multiple campaigns that put players into one of two roles: either a member of King Arthur’s entourage as he enters into the decisive battle against his archenemy, or as a collaborator of Mordred and his allies in their attempts to subjugate the kingdom. The players can take advantage of powerful castles, moats and defensive structures, as well as well-equipped armies and powerful siege weapons. Additional support in battle comes through the historical characters as well: those aligning themselves with King Arthur can secure the aid of Merlin, the legendary magician and royal advisor. He provides a significant starting bonus for any scenario.
Those who cast their lots with Mordred and his allies, by contrast, can earn the services of King Guthrum – a fearsome warrior who supports the troops where the battle rages thickest.
Citadels relates a spellbinding story from a time of kings, noble knights, and impenetrable castles, offering medieval battles with extraordinary characters and numerous tactical possibilities. In order to survive waves of attacks and enemy sieges, players have to construct mighty castles and fortify them with moats, walls of spears, and units. In offensive missions, the player has to make sure that resource extraction and production are not disrupted in order to train a powerful army with a variety of different units and siege engines. The right balance between economy and battle is crucial for the outcome of every conflict.
