"Who thought to put the fortress so close to each other?
Now we have no choice. We'll have to destroy the enemy outpost!
What? These insolent decided to defend themselves and gather an army?
How? Is their army going on the offensive? Can not be!
Well, in this case, act, my lord. Smash the enemies and destroy their stronghold!
Motherland will not forget you and the King will reward you generously for the victory!"
Fascinating clicker
Dozens dynamic levels
Several types of combat units
Ability to choose different tactics"
So, what this actually is, is a very, very, very, very basic version of a game like Castlestorm, where the goal is to smash through enemy defenses and destroy their keep before they can do the same to you. As you fight, you are rewarded with coins with which to purchase troops (you begin the game with 30). There are three types of troops available to you. An archer (who curiously is armed with a short spear), a spearman (armed with a proper spear), and a knight (your contemporary armored, sword wielding fool).
With your starting thirty coins, purchase a knight. You should never have to purchase any troops except knights. They will mow through all non knights and two to three actual knights before they die. So, at most, you will need four to complete a level, but generally speaking, you will never need more than two, and so you will end up with quite the pool of coins leftover (especially since they also carry over from level to level). Using the knight method, you will complete this game in about 30 minutes with zero deaths. Which should really tell you everything you need to know about this game.
But, in case you would like to know a little more, there are forty levels within. You will always know when the opposing fort has no more troops to send, as they will station a pair of troops to stand in front of the keep when that happens. A knight will destroy them and the keep alone.
The real deal here is, Castle Rencounter is kind of a pointless game. The only challenge is clicking enough knights to destroy the opposing forces, which is no challenge at all. The clicker aspect of the game is from this I guess (despite having about a five second pause between construction of each knight to let him walk far enough away from our fort I guess. Random coin bonuses that pop up are the other clickable thing in this game.
That is literally it. No story, no end game. Just forty levels of the same. Basic mobile game graphics. A song list that is empty in the credits lol. Because it's really just one short audio loop and the cliche'd "pick up a coin" sound, that bugs out often.
Anyway, I'd say don't bother buying this, but it actually appears to be purchase disabled as of this moment. But, should that change, don't bother. It's a definite cheap bundle fare (and may already have been in one for all I know). Not the worst thing I've seen or played by a long stretch, but also not good at all.
