About the Game
Realms of Madness is a fantasy castlebuilder real-time strategy game.
My lord, your castle awaits you. Embark on the grand endeavor of building a medieval fortress in this fantasy real-time strategy game. Manage your economy, acquire upgrades and strengthen your deadly weapons arsenal, all in preparation to lay siege on the opposing castle.
Realms of Madness is a castlebuilder RTS experienced from a unique sideways perspective. The game consists of three distinct layers. Delve into the depths of the ocean, constructing underwater habitats to summon mysterious nautical creatures capable of sinking ships from below.
On solid ground, witness your soldiers, trolls, and formidable siege weapons unite to demolish enemy fortifications. In the sky, your fearsome birds and mythical beasts descend with destructive force. Juggle strategies across these layers concurrently to create a flawless army. As time progresses, accumulate ability points to unlock chaotic powerups on the ability-tree. Deploy these powers carefully in times of need, as they possess the potential to decisively shift the tides of war in your favour.
Dominate the skies with the aid of birds and winged beasts. Engage in ground battles deploying soldiers, wizards, trolls, and siege equipment. Command the seas utilizing ships and subaquatic creatures.
Raise powerful walls enhanced with modular upgrades like fire braziers, traps, and towers.
Attain chaotic abilities by investing ability points earned during combat.
Deploy squad-based soldier formations that can accumulate experience. Preserve their lives, and they will progressively increase in skill.
Conjure extremely powerful dragons in the late game.
Interact through dialogue with characters voiced by real voice actors.
Realms of Madness has been fully handcrafted over the course of three years by a small group of people. It contains many fully voice acted characters and an original soundtrack by Geraint Downing. Thank you for your support! Criticism, questions and compliments are most welcome in the discussions channel here on Steam. I read and respond to all of them.
