About the Game

This game is a love letter to a classic—one that almost disappeared but lived on in our memories.

It all started during the COVID lockdowns when my wife and I spent countless evenings playing Castle Wars. It was simple, strategic, and just the right mix of competitive and fun. But years later, when I went looking for it on the Play Store, it was nowhere to be found. I thought it was gone forever.

That’s when I decided to rebuild it from scratch—purely from memory—so my wife and I could play it again. What started as a Christmas present for her soon turned into a full project, growing beyond just the two of us. Only later did I discover that a passionate community still existed, keeping the spirit of Castle Wars alive.

Castle Wars itself was inspired by Ants, a game created by Miroslav Němeček, which laid the foundation for the turn-based strategy card game style. Ants then inspired m0rkeulv to create Castle Wars, which became popular on platforms like Kongregate. And now, that same spark has led to this project—bringing the legacy forward once more.

Now, this project is more than just a nostalgic rebuild—it’s a game meant to be shared. My hope is that it brings people together, just as it did for my wife and me. And if it helps fund a few family trips along the way, even better.

So, to everyone who has ever battled castles, played a round of Castle Wars, or simply loves a good strategy game—this is for you.

Enjoy, and may the best castle stand tall!
