Castlot is a free to play MMORTS where players will choose to battle between the Bright Faction (led by none other than King Arthur) and the Dark Faction (Led by lord Blackmore). The game features intense real-time and turn based combat along with the ability to join forces with friends to take out enemy NPCs and players using traps, resources and spying.
One of the most important parts of Castlot is the ability to battle with or against other opponents in leagues. The leagues will keep track of stats and data and give you ranks which adds a pretty unique and exciting element to the game, rather than just random attacking of opponents in most MMORTS games. Another interesting attribute in Castlot is the Framing and Scheme system. With this system you are able to play tricks, sabotage and cripple other players resources which really adds an extra element of surprise before your full on attack.
Castlot offers an few unique elements to the traditional MMORTS that are well worth checking out. This free to play browser game is one that will be around for a long while and definitely deserves your attention.
