These shadowy figures are shrouded in mystery, and few have ever laid eyes on them and lived to tell the tale. Rumours abound that the Acolytes worship a sinister and unknown deity - one of the ancient and powerful "old ones" who were said to have once ruled the realm. Their devotion to this god is absolute and unwavering, and they are willing to go to any lengths to appease its insatiable hunger for power and destruction. The Acolytes' dark and twisted rituals are whispered about in hushed tones by those who fear their wrath. And their strange powers and abilities are the stuff of legend - some say they can call forth creatures from the void, while others claim they can manipulate the very fabric of reality itself. But one thing is certain - the Acolytes pose a grave threat to the kingdom, and their ultimate goal remains a mystery to all. Will the player be able to uncover the secrets of this elusive faction, and put an end to their nefarious plans before it's too late? Wishlist now! Join us on Discord!

We're excited to finally show the world a first glimpse of what we've been working on. Ever since placing those first voxels more than 10 years ago, we wanted to combine a voxel sandbox with action elements and a tower defense component. After many years of thinking about this, we're finally in full production! In Castle Craft you build an economy and - with the help of your minions - an impressive stronghold. You then raise an army to defend your castle against waves of enemies of ever increasing military might. Faced with limited resources, you need to make hard decisions: Do you prioritize building impressive defensive structures, improve the equipment of your brave defenders, or turn your character into a powerful war hero? Each decision is associated with its unique play style. Find your own way through all the kingdoms in Castle Craft. Your people are counting on you.
