This is a free game from Phoenix Age, Inc. It is not just available on iOS and Android devices, but on Facebook as well. This Castle Age HD review will give you a heads up on what you can expect from this popular massively multiplayer online game.
Basic Game Play
This app is often compared with Mafia Wars. This is because they almost have the same game play. Instead of fighting with boss, you will fight with other generals, instead of a mob, you will use an army and instead of guns, you will use dragons and swords. But even if you are not familiar with Mafia Wars, it is easy to learn Castle Age HD’s game play.
Pick a hero that you wish to use on the game. You will find more heroes, which you can recruit, as the game progresses. Level up your heroes, upgrade their stats and purchase weapons that they can use during the battles. Purchase buildings on your lands, which will earn you gold coins every hour. There are different types of buildings that you can purchase. The more expensive ones will earn you more gold coins. Complete quests to gain experience and level up your heroes.
This will also earn you bonus points, which you can use to upgrade your stats. You can play one on one with the general of another player or play with a whole army. Winning a battle will earn you some coins while losing will cost you gold coins. You may also join a guild and play as a team with other guild members. Chatting with other members is also possible.
Stats and Real Cash
Energy is used when taking quests, which will help you level up upon completion. On the other hand, stamina is used for your battles. Your stats like energy, stamina and health will be fully replenished upon completing quests. Higher levels would require more energy and stamina. They are replenished for one point every 5 minutes.
However, since you need to use more of these, it would also take time before you can take quests or fight your opponents, unless you use favor points. This is the premium currency of the game. They are equivalent to gems and diamonds of other apps. Using favor points will replenish your stats instantly. However, be careful when using them since they cost real money. If you are a bit impatient, you may end up spending a lot of money for purchasing favor points.
Verdict
This is a game that you will enjoy playing for a long time. It has different game modes that will keep you engaged including quest mode and PVP mode. Joining a guild makes it social as you can team up with other players to take down other guilds. The graphics of the game is eye catching making it more fun to play.
