As lord of the Sun Kingdom, you build a settlement and prepare it to withstand repeated attacks by the Moon Beasts. Play alternates between daytime development and nighttime defense.
During the day, gather food and materials, build homes and production buildings, and expand your territory with roads, walls, gates, and towers. Keep villagers happy with amenities and decorations, and use their labor to grow the settlement and train troops.
At night, direct soldiers and defensive weapons against waves of attackers, including enemies with siege equipment and dragons. Research and equipment strengthen your forces, while terrain and changing seasons can affect your defenses—for example, a frozen river may give attackers a route across.
Players who enjoy Becastled often praise its day-to-night cycle of growing a settlement and testing its defenses, along with its approachable castle-building and relaxed medieval style. Some also like planning walls, troop positions, and resource use around each attack. Many reviews, however, describe the experience as repetitive or short on longer-term goals, and frequently report problems with troop movement and commands.
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?
