About this game

Citadel: Fortress Defense is a 3D medieval strategy game played 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. You are the Lord: hire knights, archers and mages, and take direct control of any soldier in battle. Goblins, bandits, skeletons, shamans and enemy soldiers break through walls, and every fifth day a boss arrives. If the town hall falls, the game is over.
