BECASTLED Thoughts & Gameplay


My Gameplay playlist (Demo)



BECASTLED Demo is available from the 7th October until 13th October 2020.



The game is to be released on Q4 2020.



So what is Becastled?


It is an RTS, base building game created by Mana Potion Studios


You need to build and defend your castle from sieges in a fantasy world!




Taken from steam page:


Becastled is about building and defending your castle from sieges in a fantasy world!


  • Build your castle

  • Manage resources

  • Train an army

  • Survive a siege

  • Explore ancient conflict between light & dark



So you start off with a couple workers or solar ones at they call them, first thing you do is to place your Town center.

From there on you begin to costruct houses (for more Solar ones to be available) and work stations, fishing huts and farms, walls and towers to fend off enemies.


Workstations vary from lumbermills to chop wood obviously, stonemasons for stone and sunstone workshop to gather sunstone (gold currency if you will).


There are also some city buildings like tavers, church and decorations.

Churches heal your units, decorations increase your people happyness.




The map is divided into sections in which you unlock by spending wood.

Unlocking new section have benefits on their own, for instance a specific section can have more wood, boars for hunting, sunstones, stones and so on.



So now the fun part, you need to hire swordsmen and archers from your barracks and archery (there are a couple more units) in order to protect your castle and fend of enemy attacks.

You also need walls around you plus towers to defend your castle.



How the game works is you have some minutes which is Daylight however after that the night comes.

That is when the hordes attack!


A blue torch light will be visible before the hordes attack, that way the game warns you from which direction they will come.




The hordes come in waves, every night, and the waves get harder and harder each time.

You need to be prepared else your castle will be destroyed.


I have played the demo version of the game and i really enjoyed it.

The element of RTS is there, base building, gathering, forming an army and ofcourse building a castle.


If you are a fan of the above elements, give this game a try, the demo is free on steam.
