. The game combined castle building and dungeon crawling mechanics: each player built a castle filled with traps and monsters and then attacked other players' castles, earning gold and equipment. While the castle attacks were single player affairs, the game required the player to be online as the castles they attacked were those of other players. The game also received a mobile version in July 2019.

Gameplay

The game was split into two parts: castle building and castle assault. In the castle building mode, the player placed rooms and filled them with traps, monsters, and obstacles. There were also objects that would generate gold and other resources each day, which doubled as objectives for attacking players to destroy for additional rewards. In the castle assault mode, players would play as one of four hero classes - the knight, archer, mage, and runaway - and attack other players' castles, trying to defeat their defenses to reach their treasury. If successful, the attacker would get some of the defender's gold. The rewards would depend on how long the assault took and whether all of the optional objectives were destroyed.
