Castle Craft - World War Gameplay Insights and Review
2021-12-15
RisingWings are one of the best developers with an awesome collection of various titles. They have been consistently releasing hit titles like Golf king, Gun Zombie, etc. Castle Craft - World War is also an addition to their awesome collection, and it has proved to be one of the best in its genre. It's from the casual strategy genre of games, including environment progression like building camps and upgrading structures.
Mostly we have seen Role Playing Games (RPGs) embedded with strategy making, but most of it gets dissolved with an immersive story hence the essence of strategy games is lost. In the case of Castle Craft-World War, you will experience proper strategy making because, without planning, you cannot progress in the game.
Here we will discuss the overall gameplay aesthetics and review based on various aspects like visuals, gameplay, controls, etc. This will help new players know about what they are playing and will their experience be fun or not.
Storyline
This might be surprising, but Castle Craft - World War has no major storyline that introduces the game. You are directly thrown into the game because this is a pure strategy game. The AI "Rayha" is in a hurry as an enemy attack is already happening; hence, she doesn't even have time to introduce herself. She will teach you all the basics necessary for further progression in the game. You need to pay close attention to what she says because it's all about the crucial aspects of the game.
There are many things to keep in mind, like essential resources, energy to fight, etc., but nothing is related to any story. So overall, no story will affect your gameplay in any sort.
Gameplay
Not many strategy games provide an optimum genre-based gameplay experience, but Castle Craft - World War is an exception because it provides one of the best strategy gameplay experiences. This game has a very good environment that you can build on your own and plays a very important role in the game's progression.
There is not much to the story; hence you are directly thrown into the main game, where you will start building your camp. As a core strategy game, you need to brainstorm ideas to defeat the enemy. You are called the conqueror; hence, you already know your main purpose.
In the beginning, you are fighting 'Leon,' an AI enemy and has the sole purpose of teaching you the basics of the game. After that, everything is up to you to progress in the game. This game takes the cake when it comes to a proper strategy gameplay experience. Overall the gameplay experience is quite refined and optimized.
There is absolutely no dull moment in the game. Also, the game is quite practical and won't waste the player's time in lengthy cut scenes of any sort.
Graphics and GUI
A good visual aesthetic to a game is very important because players will flock towards a game if the game is visually appealing. Along with good visuals, the game also needs to be optimized properly.
Castle Craft - World War is very well optimized, but the graphics are something that you will rarely experience if compared with modern-day games. The graphics are a semi-old school which means some of the battle scenes are inspired by older games. The character graphics during dialogues have a modern touch.
If you are expecting high-end graphics similar to top games, you will be disappointed. But as it has the classic touch to it, every player is bound to love it. Hence we can say that the game's graphics are quite good but not the best when compared with similar genre games on the same platform.
In terms of the graphical user interface, everything is very easy and simple to understand and access. All the accessible tabs are right there in front of you; hence there are no complex things to perform to do anything. Even the battle stats are available on the home screen, and you can build right from the home screen itself. Hence, the user interface is very simple and easy to access, even by new players.
Controls and accessible items
Every game on the mobile platform has a common control setup. This game is also no exception because the controls also need to respond to touch as mobile devices work on a touch screen concept. Hence click and play is the method commonly used. Here, you also need to click on tabs to perform the programmed action.
For example, if you want to build or demolish something, just click on the hammer tab present in the bottom part of the screen, and if you wish to place a structure, just drag it on the screen. Hence, there is absolutely no confusion in terms of controls, and everything is very basic and easy to understand by all sorts of players.
Music and Sound
The music and sounds in the game are appropriate for a strategy game. The player needs to focus more during battles; the music cannot be too harsh as it will cause distractions. The overall sounds in the game are quite nice, and there is nothing extraordinary to mention about.
Drawbacks
There are not many drawbacks in the game that can be specifically pointed out, but one might be worth mentioning. The game's graphics can be improved to a great extent because giving it a modern touch will ensure that more and more players will join the fan base.
Verdict
Castle Craft - World War is a game that will catch your eye if you are looking for an intense strategy game that will keep you busy for hours. The only thing that might let back some players is the old-school grainy graphics that many will accept but might also be a deal-breaker for some. Overall the game is very good, and most of you will love it once you start playing it.
