Open The Gates!

Sidescrolling Castlebuilder. Real-time strategy game.

The emperor has lost control over his kingdom! Now he has appointed you as the leader of a new conquest.

Become a master of castle building and defense in this genre-blending sidescroller game. As you construct and fortify your fortress, you'll have a variety of defenses at your disposal, including walls, towers, and traps. But the real fun begins when it's time to launch a counterattack on the hilariously-voiced foes who dare to challenge you.

Build A Thriving Castle

Construct houses, inns, jailhouses, hospitals and more to keep your citizens happy. Build lumber camps, quarries and charcoal makers to supply your kingdom with resources. Rule and manage your castle. Hire falconers to get rid of rats and place guard posts to catch criminals.

Prepare Defenses and Attack

Construct walls and towers to stall the enemy and prevent them from breaking into your castle. Fend off massive sieges and upgrade your defenses. Use siege weapons such as the ladderman, the catapult and the siege tower to besiege enemy castles. Control unique units each with their own special crazy abilities like poisonous darts, exploding bolts and a rediculously powerful mace smash attack.

Siegetowers are a powerful tool for getting units onto enemy walls. Only an extremely good defense can prevent this.

Explore Beautiful Worlds

Construct hot air balloons to explore the skies and travel between majestic floating islands. Build settlements in unique locations. There are green fields, hot deserts, volcanic craters and more to be explored.

Hot air balloons are the way you can transport units between floating islands. They can also be used as flying weapons if you place archers in these balloons.
