DON'T PURCHASE THIS ABANDONNED GAME! Purchased this "game" yesterday for 26 euros. 26 euros! Would have been really nice to have had a warning from Steam telling me that this project has been abandonned by the developers. Why don't Steam warn their customers of this??? If only it was playable, but it aint. I have "played" 6 hours now and it hasn't even been possible for me to lay the foundation to a castle without experiencing severe malfunctions and developer consoles nearly impossible to remove so I can continue. The functions comes without any documentation at all. I Googled for a website or any other help, but couldn't find any. The game isn't able to save my edits properly. I cannot express my dissappointment of this purchase and the mindset of the developers behind this game. Run away. Fast. Don't make the same mistake as I and see your 26 euros go down the drain! Even the greatest idea is worthless if badly executed. Execution is everything! Hammer Games should sell World of Castles to a company that are able to execute the idea the way it should...
Overall currently the only gameplay you can do is place assets and build a castle, there is a terrain editor that allows you to raise/lower terrain and place a few plants but is currently clunky and building mode lags and is very much unoptimized. As I own Unreal Engine and if I get bored can build castles and tinker, I'm not sure how someone releasing a pile of placeable assets in Steam EA even qualifies as a game? As very few EA games ever make it I would strongly reccomend against purchasing Wold of Castles if you do not have money to support the World of Castles could be dream or are looking for a game you can actually play as CURRENTLY THERE IS NO PLAYABLE CONTENT only a partial castle building demo. Having said that the idea of World of Castles looks neat so I am going to tuck this one away and check on the development process every few months. Currently The game is as follows You can from start screen choose the following options... 1.Change your Flag there are different designs to choose from and you can change the colors as well. Everything is preset but there a plenty of options stripes, checkers and then you can overlay the flag with an insignia like a cross or lion 2.Customize your Marshals there are 3 separate branches to edit currently for your marshal each giving you a limted number of points to utilize. It should be noted that a Marshal can NOT be played or utilized in an actual game or scenerio outside of the character creation screen. --Character appearance and Equipment you can pick the following.. a) Facial Hair. giving you different beards and mustaches b) Helmet. gives you 14 different helms with varying armor stats c)Chest. Gives you 5 different armor options d)Gloves. Gives you 4 different options e)Legs. Gives you 2 armor options f)Feet. Gives you 5 different options g)Weapons. gives you 26 different options to choose with varying types and looks spears,swords,maces, axes etc.. no ranged h)Shield. 5 different shields the 6th option being no shield. then a small icon on bottom to change the color of your hair.. --Character skills There are 3 skill trees a) Magnificence. 13total skills. this gives your peons buffs like def attack stam etc b)Defiance. 13total skills. Basically your tank attributes c) Valor. 14 total skills. Basically your Attack Attributes ---Armor Icon This is not implemented yet as there is only an icom and leads you to a blank empty page of nothingness 3. Set your Game gives you the following option tabs Overall, Graphic, Keys, Sounds 4.Improve Your Castle This loads a map with a simple premade house where you can edit and build a castle, pressing tab takes you to a screen filled with icons Icons currently clickable with placable assets keep in mind this is EA and some icons only have 1 or 2 placeable assets Miltia, Footmen, Battlements, Strong Ramparts, Pallisades, Platforms, Roofings, Housing,Religion, Bergfried, Staircases, Defense Devices, Gatehouses, Wall Equipment, Landscaping Icons currently greyed out (future) Marshals, Archers, Calvary, Stone Ramparts, Wooden Castle, Donjou, Round Towers, Traps, Military, Armoury, Painting, Production, Civillian, Palace

A not playable discontinued alpha release. Don't buy.
game is barely functional. controls are clunky development ended 3 years ago cant turn the annoying crickets sound off
mfs abandoned their game and scammed everyone >:(
There are some issues with overlapping (i.E. parts of roofs clip into other houses) and there are still some bugs, but overall a real promising start for the "build" part of the game. Can't wait for more content and the "siege" part of the game. Only issue I really noticed is that terrain sometime "swallows" blocks and makes it really hard to delete them or "fills up" closed off rooms if you build something near the house.
A build game that doesn't want you to build, you can't even free form a basic L shaped house in the housing section because the walls do not connect and fit at the 90 degree corners, you have to use a pre built wall for the house end. Almost impossible to find a spot where the terrain will allow you to build. I think too much time was spent on making the models and textures look nice and not enough on the actual controls. This game is far from complete and should not be selling at it's current price. I feel like I've been conned.
The game has been abandoned.
I was really hopeful for this game. I bought it when it was in very early development and have seen some good changes. However, nothing has been done in jut about a year now. I see people still playing it and building awesome looking castles but I can't seem to get a single NPC to work properly before running into various bugs or running out of materials and not being able to obtain more. There are no tutorials and no tooltips to help with what the graphics in the menus are actually for. This game has great potential and I wish I could even just take over development because it has an awesome foundation, awesome graphics, and neat art. Hopefully the devs pick it back up and bring it to glory but currently it is not worth the money to purchase and many are asking if it is abandoned.
Game is postponed indefinitely. It doesn't have everything needed. One day it'll be good, or at least it'll be opened to modders, and then it'll be good. And on that day, I'll recommend it.
