Actually, the game is very relaxing and I kinda like it because of the art style, gameplay and the pace of it and I want to recommend it, say that I like this game... but I'm not sure I really want to continue playing it, because it's just in an unfinished state and confusing.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While it draws inspiration from classic god games and RTS titles, Castle Story establishes its own identity through its distinct art style, slow-paced but rewarding gameplay, and an emphasis on creativity and survival.
