Castlot is a free-to-play RTS game available to play online. The game is browser based so anybody with a computer and an internet connection should be able to play it without experiencing any technical issues. Best of all, you can play the game instantly as you dont have to download any additional game data onto your hard drive. Surprisingly, the game starts off immediately and you are unable to customize the appearance of your on-screen avatar. All you have to do is choose your desired name and you are ready to undergo the tutorial for Castlelot.
Gamers looking to play a game with high production values should definitely look elsewhere. The game lacks any audio so players will be experiencing the game in utter silence. There are no voice-overs in the game so gamers will have to read a lot of text boxes. Not only that but there no background music in Castlot which makes the atmosphere of the game very dull, although this is to be expected from a free-to-play browser based RTS game.
Graphically, the game is quite impressive for a game that lacks in other production values. As it is like with other RTS games, the games camera is from an isometric viewpoint where you can over look the city that you can build. The city is nice and bright and the graphics resemble that of Age of Empires which was released over a decade ago. Although the game is developed and published by Chinese company Clapalong, the game is obviously heavily European inspired. You wont see the cutesy looking character models and bright colors you often see in other Asian-inspired video games. The game is not your typical RTS game, which is a good thing. The game is more objective based so you wont encounter the tedious task of collecting resources in order to build your city like most other games from the genre. This is a good thing in my opinion as it makes the game more fun to play and you are able to finish quests with much more ease.
