About this game
Citadel: Fortress Defense is a 3D medieval strategy game in first person. Each day you build your town, then a raid comes. Build walls, gates, houses, farms, sawmills, quarries, towers, barracks, a market and a mage tower. Gather wood, stone, gold and food. Characters: you are the Lord. Hire knights, archers and mages and control any soldier in battle. Enemies: goblins, bandits, skeletons, shamans and enemy soldiers break through walls; every fifth day a boss arrives. Each raid is stronger: spend renown on upgrades, raise stone walls and expand your land. Mode: single player endless survival. If the town hall falls, the game is over.
