Defend Against Corruptrons
Castle Story is a creative voxel-based strategy game in which you can build castles one brick at a time using an army of little creatures called Bricktrons. Design and build your own castles, expand your territory in a vast landscape and defend your Bricktrons against onslaughts of hostile creatures.

You command Bricktrons, small worker-creatures exploring floating islands. They dig, carve, and gather materials as you expand your territory and prepare defenses.
Assign workers to construct castles and other structures brick by brick. Buildings obey physics, so losing a supporting section can bring the structure down. When Corruptrons attack, use troops, catapults, explosive barrels, and traps to protect your base.
Play solo or with others in modes including Conquest and Co-Op Invasion, or build together in sandbox mode. The World Editor lets you create maps, share them, and try maps made by other players.
Players who enjoy Castle Story often praise the hands-on castle construction, the freedom to shape a base, and the mix of building with strategic defense or conquest. Some also value its distinctive look, its Bricktrons, and playing with friends; nostalgia is a recurring reason for returning. These positives are tempered by frequent reports of frustrating worker AI, bugs, and an unfinished-feeling experience.
