## What is Castle War?

Castle War : Idle Island is a Castle vs Castle battler in PvP.
Build towers, craft cannons, engage mages & mercenaries.

Rule your island, assign missions to your village. Build your Castle to fit your strategy, using the various offensive & defensive capabilities at your disposal.   
 
Send your troops: Archers, swordmen and pikemen will lead the way to the gate of opponent’s Castle.
 
Use Siege weapons: Ballista, trebuchet, catapult and cannon to destroy other’s Castle towers and weapon, and protect from their troops & projectiles.
 
Cast powerful magic: Call a meteor strike, invoke a powerful blackhole and protect your towers with powerful arcane shields.

Build a magnificent Castle: Use wood, stone and metal rooms, to build solid ramparts and impressive towers 
 
Mix all of those elements to build your very own Castle, from a magic tower casting huge spells, a soldier swarm on the walls of your opponent, or a rolling thunder of spikes and stones crushing its ramparts.

Use the weapons workshop to transform your standard weaponry into a state of the art piece of engineering : increase rate of fire, projectile damage, projectile speed, or weapon durability.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2023-11-17, version 1.9.7*

I know this sounds fake but, this game is AMAZING!!!
After you get a lot of upgrades to you castle you can go crazy with them.
I highly recommend!

(PS: I’m 99% sure that the people you fight with aren’t AI)

Ima be honest I actually like the game it’s decent but idk how it’s not more popular and u need to sort out morta glitching out sometimes and add a campaign and add like weight limit to structures and stuff u know what I mean

### 4/5 — Wishlist for chest picks

*2023-01-15, version 1.5.3*

I like the game but I find it confusing at times, but the main problem I see is the chest gives people insane stuff but I get like a fricken stick and I think it would be better if you could increase the chances of getting a specific item with like a wishlist thing or something.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-01-05, version 1.5.3*

This game is actually quite very entertaining plus very exciting if only the farming was a little bit faster that’s ok
Keep up with the great updates the only thing that needs to be changed is the farm time it takes so long.
What needs to be fixed:
-Farm harvesting time.
But I was still rated is quite amazing game👍

### 5/5 — Very fun

### 5/5 — Honestly pretty good

*2022-12-18, version 1.4.8*

Compared to some other games, this is actually pretty addicting and fun.
