Tar and Sand for Christmas!

It’s getting cold and foggy outside (we’re still waiting for snow), so we thought we’d take you somewhere warm with our latest patch: the desert plains of Stygia.

This update gives you access to the legendary architecture of Stygia. Built from massive yet cleanly finished stone and reinforced with iron bars, Stygian structures are famed for their durability. They offer even more protection than Stone architecture - at a cost. And, of course, you’ll first need to unlock the kingdom of Stygia to use them.

Stygia is also known for its unique approach to defense. Tar is used to slow enemies and prevent them from jumping, while metal spike bars reinforce walls and punish attackers who get too close.

But that's not all! Here is everything that's new:

Building & Blocks

• Added 2 new wood block types: horizontal logs (in both directions).

• New Tar block: slows enemies, counters jumping units, and keeps them grounded.

• Brand-new Stygian Architecture set, including:

  • 2 new wall types

  • Doors & windows

  • Roof pieces

  • Stairs & stair rails

• Added 4 new metal spike prefabs to beef up your defenses.

• Updated destruction effects for the Stone set.

Quality of Life

• Your last wheel selection is now remembered.

Fixes

• Fixed a crash during the End of Wave sequence.

• Fixed the flamethrower not playing its audio cue when it can’t fire.

• Fixed the platoon control widget getting stuck on screen if a platoon dies while following you.

As always, thank you for playing and for all your feedback. We’re excited to see what you build with Stygia - and how you defend it.

We wish you all a merry Christmas!

Your Castle Craft crew,

Marco, Hunter, Jonathan
