Its a cute little time waster...Hard to consider it a "castle building sim" though.

Well, it kind of is in its later stages, like Stronghold. Much later than Stronghold I'd say. Keeping in mind that, like Stronghold, its notion of "Castle" doesn't involve one increasingly larger fortified building, but rather an increasingly fortified town.

Nowhere near as detailed as the Stronghold series (or other town builders like the various versions of Caesar/Imperium/Rome), but I blew a few hours on it tonight -- past my early-work bedtime, actually! :-[ Despite being nearly a game-month into the game, I have not built even one wall yet. This may have to change as before I saved for the night I just plomped down my first treasure house. I've been visited by a dragon in the first few days who flew around and roared but decided we were too small to bother with at the time I guess. Once I start gathering gold in the treasure room, I figure I can expect raiders to start showing up. And I have no army. At all. Or walls.

Oh thanks I dont know why steam doesn't show me those games I may be interested in,
The game looks good I will keep an eye on it.

Well look at that...thanks SDR.

Suuuuuuper Early Access, basically still a mid-level alpha. Or early-mid.

But I'll wishlist it. O0

For all of the things that Steam does well, showcasing games that interest me is not one of them.

World of Castles is getting pretty good reviews even though as Jason mentioned its clearly around a alpha state and, I believe{?} I read somewhere there will be a free demo available in the next week or so.

Also the Steam remastered edition of Stronghold will be out in about 2 weeks, its supposed to have updated graphics, new maps and they added back in multiplayer.
