Castle War: Idle Island is out now on iOS and Android, letting players fight castle against castle in a colourful PvP game

PHZ Game Studios and PID Games have announced the official launch of Castle War: Idle Island on both iOS and Android devices, letting players engage in a colourful new free-to-play strategy PVP game on mobile. Players will have to build their own fortress and unleash their inner tacticians to become the most powerful force in all the land.

In Castle War: Idle Island, you'll have to make the best use of your resources to fortify your castle with the best archers, mages and swordsmen ready to defend your cause. You'll need to mix things up and maximise iron, stone, wood and more to keep your castle as resistant to attacks as possible, as well as use your mighty catapults to defeat the enemy.

Players can choose how they want to go head-to-head with other players in random PvP modes (with fair matching against an enemy with equal power), or duke it out with a buddy to see whose castle will reign supreme. You can also choose the Gauntlet event, where you can fight the good fight using the same castle against others until your ultimate demise.
