Castle Age has been all over my news feed lately in Facebook and I finally took some time to see what it was all about. It’s a questing game in the fantasy genre. My first impression was that it was horribly confusing. I needed to buy a certain number of soldiers before I could go on my first quest, but I had no idea where to even find the soldiers, let alone how much money I had to spend on these so-called soldiers. Although it is text-based a lot of information is thrown at your immediately without much of an explanation.

Castle Age has all kinds of different things that you can upgrade and work toward, but it will definitely take some time to figure out what works the best for you.

These 2 stats control the actions you take in the game, and both of them slowly fill up with time.

This is a brilliant concept that levels the playing field and allows both hardcore and casual players to enjoy the game. Read the rest of this entry »
