English playable demo. Demo includes two levels.
Castle Strike English Public Demo V1.1
This demo includes two levels.
1) Tutorial 2 will demonstrate the basics of the construction of both a castle
and the neighboring village. Castle Strike does not allow to build infinite
walls, instead the game tries to create a more historical picture with the main
military buildings inside the castle and and the economical buildings in the
village. So there is the extra task of protecting the village and the serfs.
Another change which might need some getting used to is the fact, that in
Castle Strike only a limited number of units are able to damage buildings, not
to mention tear down castle walls. Except for the siege weapons only the
following units are able to harm buildings:
- Shortbow or longbow men, if the fire arrow upgrade was researched, including
one hero, the - English Branwyn. Damage to buildings and siege engines, but no
walls.
- Zee German arsonist, carrying a torch to set fire to buildings, including one
German Hero, Alrich von Drachenfels (a bad guy... of course). Damage to
buildings only.
- Saboteur, a guy who plants bombs on buildings or siege engines.
2) A mission based on the last mission of the German campaign. It was slightly
changed, the movies (game engine) telling parts of the story were removed,
instead a short 'flight' over the scenario is displayed. The deadly harquebus
shooter and some of the larger siege engines are not available and:
!!!!!!!!!!
the mission is playable in this demo with the easy difficulty only
!!!!!!!!!!
Although larger numbers of enemy units might appear, they will harm your units
not as much as in the normal mode (HINT: the multi barreled gun does barely
harm buildings or machines, but is deadly against 'soft' targets)
To win the scenario you have to damage the enemy keep down to 1600 points and
then send one unit into it.
If you wonder why all the units except for Thorwald von Rabenhorst speak
German... this scenario plays in Germany, so the regular units and serfs speak
their respective language. Thorwald and his sister, the siblings of an old
German noble family get involved into the quarrels of the conflict between the
French and the British during the 100 Years War, so later on there will be more
units of those two nationalities. Only the Heroes and the narrator of the story
will be localized.
So enjoy playing this demo of Castle Strike and we hope we caught your interest
to play more...
