Becastled is a cozy-meets-challenging strategy game that combines city building with RTS-like tower defense. You are the lord of the Sun Kingdom, leading its final stand against the Moon Beasts.
Design and build your castle, grow a settlement, and prepare your people for the nightly siege. By day, gather resources, place buildings, raise walls, and lay roads, keeping your subjects happy with taverns and decorations. By night, man the battlements, unleash ballistas, and hold the line until dawn.
The siege horns sound at sunset. How long can your fortress hold the dark?
BUILD A CASTLE BY DAY
Transform a humble village into a true medieval city. Lay farms and markets to keep your people fed, gather wood and iron for construction, and raise walls, watchtowers, and gates to protect your keep. Build a fantasy bastion where life flourishes under the sun!
KEEP YOUR PEOPLE HAPPY
Satisfied subjects work harder and fight with greater courage. Sawmills may sour the air, but lively taverns and street decorations lift every spirit. Balance comfort and function to keep your kingdom strong through each long night.
DEFEND AGAINST SIEGES AT NIGHT
At sunset, the Moon Beasts strike with battering rams, siege towers and even dragons. Layer your defenses with walls and iron gates, rain fire with catapults and archers, and withstand ever-stronger assaults until sunrise.
TRAIN AN UNSTOPPABLE ARMY
Forge weapons and armor to prepare your warriors for the siege. Advance from basic infantry to an army with ballistas and trebuchets. Archers, swordsmen, and pikemen will fight to the last if you train and equip them well. If the walls fall, rally every villager to defend their home.
TURN THE LAND TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
Hills, rivers, and forests can be your castle’s best allies, offering natural moats and tactical positions. But shifting seasons can betray you. A river shields you in summer but freezes solid in winter, creating a bridge for your enemy. Adapt your defenses and stockpile resources ahead of time.
BUILD, DEFEND, EXPAND, REPEAT
A strong economy fuels a stronger army. Grow your domain, claim new lands, and mine precious Sunstone to raise buildings and keep your people safe.
As your settlement expands, you will push back the forces of the night. But will you have the strength to end the ancient war between the Sunfolk and the creatures of the Moon?

Becastled Demo
I like how well-designed the game is. The demo makes me want to purchase the full version now! Sadly, I will have to wait a few more weeks.

Needs some polishing
Game looks interesting, reminds me of Stronghold. Unfortunately, there are some typos and bugs in the tutorial. I also got a crash to desktop. But can be a nice filler game if it's polished a bit more.

Great Game
Becastled delivers a refreshing take on medieval city-building and defense that feels like a bridge between Stronghold’s structured castle management and Manor Lords’ immersive realism, but with a far more accessible, relaxed pace. Becastled strips away some of the intense micromanagement of traditional castle sims, focusing instead on intuitive controls, colorful visuals, and a cozy rhythm of building, training, and defending. Each mechanic feels approachable, making it perfect for players who enjoy the atmosphere of grand castle-building without the overcomplexity of juggling dozens of systems. Unlike Stronghold, where the economic chains can become intricate and punishing, Becastled keeps supply and production loops light, emphasizing simplicity while still offering strategic depth in resource allocation. Compared to Manor Lords, which leans heavily into realism, historical detail, and slower-paced development, Becastled opts for accessibility and a faster loop: gather resources, expand walls, fend off sieges. The art style stands out. Rather than the gritty realism of Manor Lords or Stronghold’s utilitarian approach, Becastled embraces a vibrant, almost storybook aesthetic. It gives the player a sense of charm and whimsy, which makes battles feel fun rather than stressful. It is a place where managing daily tasks and preparing defenses feels more playful than punishing. Siege defense is the heart of the Becastled demo. Where Stronghold often mixes sprawling offense campaigns with defense, Becastled focuses squarely on weathering waves of attackers. The simplified economy doesn’t detract from the experience—it ensures the flow from settlement to warfare feels smooth, with less downtime.

Doesn't like my Lenovo Legion
Sorry, it's a fail. Tinkle music gets old quick. Map is always moving, I guess it's supposed to mimic wind, it just doesn't work. For my attempt to play tutorial, it has about a 30 second lag between command and execution. Everything is super slooooooow motion. I swear it took 15 minutes for my two guy to chop a couple loads of wood, 48 units. It would take a couple hours to cut the 500 wanted in the tutorial. The very few interface controls you have are cut off along the edge of the screen, the controls are a mix of keyboard and mouse. I didn't get far, half an hour watching TV while waiting for wood to be cut was too much for me. The concept sounds good, for me the execution was pathetic. I saw nothing I haven't seen 100 times before in countless builder games. A big thumbs DOWN. It runs on my cheap ASUS, I can definitely says NO! Clunky mechanics, just plain lousy, one of the worst I've ever tried. It's a lousy city builder game, it's a lousy war strategy game, it's not cutesy. A decade old game did this so much better TOWNSMEN

Demo review - Hard to tell
The demo game is fun although a lot of features are locked down so it's hard to see how the 1.0 version will unfold. A simplistic version of the more detailed ye-old-e town building sims. I'm hard pressed to say if the ever stronger attacks each night will make the game more entertaining or just deeply frustrating. Depends on the ability to strategically reduce that risk and from the demo you simply can't tell. One to watch
