Graphics, animations, and a story all got a nice hand-up onto the ledge of awesome while gameplay and fun got kicked in the face.

Magic Defense is a nice idea, but there isn't much strategy if the opponent is aware that it is being used (except for using a low-resource attack). It would be nice if it was disguised as something, like a random attack or castle build.

oh cool, I just put myself through that entire stupid campaign to get the card for multiplayer, then I try it and it says I can't do it on this site, and of course the other site doesn't use this site's save file, so whee, yay for wasting hours of my time, 2/5

Hard mode is somewhat overpowered. For instance the southwestern most territory appears harmless at first glance, and the difference between the sizes of both castles and both walls seems fair enough. Now we look at the resources, The enemy has a little over twice as many bricks, 4 times as many weapons, and 10 times as many crystals as you do. This means they can use curse, dragon, sacrificing, and other powerful cards and completely bastardize all you have on the first turn thus dooming you.

you know, i really didn't understand a lot of the comments on this game at first... until i played the original and found that it Really is a Lot better! it may be missing a few cards, but other than that and the fact that the first one doesn't have as many animations, this one is really lacking, especially with the interfaces and castle height.

Fun game. Well balanced, enjoyable, a great improvement over an already great game. I didn't like the new resources bar, but hey, it happens. Also...I was confused by the "ambush" card. How do you ambush a castle? A castle's not gonna walk into your trap...

BTW Kongregate, PLEASE get rid or the up/down comments, the up dow vote is being used to vote for the game not the post, therefore it is not working, the developers need negative (constructive) criticism. An up/down is voting for popularity, which we already have as a ranking on the five stars!

it didnt load for me. so right now its rating is 0. but if it works soon im hoping it will be as good as the first one.

Catastrophe. It's hard to make the sequel worse then the original by removing what was good, but you managed it. - Resource inaging is MUCH worse then it was, on original Castle Wars it was naturally obvious how much resource and production speed you have, now it takes ages and a pain to figure. - OK, good to have the old Crucifix business removed, however, there's nothing added to compensate for it. Now the "midrange" deck is pretty much the only one possible. Some balance.

first playthrough was way too easy, 2nd playthrough just sucks. 50% chance of being dead 3rd turn. what the hell were those ppl thinking?

Same great gameplay as the first, but better graphics this time, and a campaign also adds to it, many improvements, no problems 4/5

I don't usually complain but that's just not right. The badge description says nothing about multiplayer mode whatsoever and the dev's response is unacceptable. The game gives no explanation of play, the mechanics are awful and there's little indication of what each card does. One star.

WOW this is lame... so how many of these stupid battles do I have to win to actually win the game and get the easy badge?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I don't know what everyone's talking about. I got the easy badge just fine when I earned it after this game came out. And just to check, I made a new account and re-earned it and it updated on the first try! I suggest checking your java, as this game can be finicky with that due to its age.

I just found this game, Castle Wars was one of the first games i played on kongregate over 3 years ago and has always been one of my favorites, I am so excited and happy about this ....
Give this a thumbs up if you like this game +++

Not going to touch MP until you fix it. Sorry, wins are impossible to get because of twatty douches who can't wait a little bit for a loss.

If the opponent has "Magic Defense" active, there should be some kind of obvious indicator, because that's easy to forget.
