Becastled invites players to lead the Sun Kingdom’s last stand against the Moon Beasts, a war fought in daily cycles. By day, you will gather resources, expand your castle, and keep subjects happy with taverns and decorations. By night, you’ll man the battlements, unleash ballistas, and hold the line until dawn.
Since entering Early Access in February 2021, Becastled has grown into a beloved strategy title with thousands of players, earning a Very Positive rating on Steam, and gaining acclaim from popular creators including Real Civil Engineer, Blitz, BaronVanGames, and Splattercat.
The siege horns sound at sunset. How long can your fortress hold the dark?
Key Features
-
Build a Castle by Day. Transform a humble village into a thriving medieval city. Lay farms and markets to keep your people fed, gather wood and iron for construction, and raise towers, battlements, and gates to protect your keep.
-
Defend Against Sieges at Night. At sunset, the Moon Beasts advance with siege towers, rams, and dragons. Station archers on the walls, man ballistas and trebuchets, and layer your defenses to withstand their ever-stronger assaults until sunrise.

Cozy Meets Challenging. Easy to pick up with clear tutorials and intuitive controls, Becastled welcomes newcomers while delivering deep strategy and extra challenges for veteran players.

Train an Army. Equip villagers as archers, swordsmen, and pikemen. Forge better armor and weaponry. Advance from basic infantry to an unstoppable force that can repel any siege.

Grow Your Realm. Claim new lands, gather precious Sunstone, and push back the forces of the night. Will you have the strength to resolve the ancient war between light and darkness?
