Welcome to today’s Feature Highlight! During the run-up to our Early Access launch on July 26th we’ll be taking a closer look at some of the fantastic features that make up Citadel: Forged with Fire. Keep checking back for more in-depth gameplay reveals!
Build Your Empire
Wizard Fact: You’re not a proper wizard if you don’t live in a cool tower, castle or dungeon!
When we decided we wanted to include structure building in our game, we made it a top priority to ensure we did it right. Our vision is to have a building system that is as easy to use as it is flexible and open-ended – we don’t want our wizards to feel stuck building the same cookie-cutter castles.
We’re confident that we’ve struck this balance: Citadel has literally hundreds of construction pieces to unlock and use. Build anywhere with complete, unrestricted freedom. Simply gather the resources you need – via conventional scavenging or with the aid of speedy resource extraction spells – find a spot worthy of your masterpiece, and get to work!
As you level up your character you will unlock the ability to fortify your creations with stronger resources and craft more elaborate decorative and functional items like thrones, storage chests and crafting stations.
Houses
Although you’re free to build a modest home on your own, if you want to create something truly impressive you’ll have to work with other players. The best way to do this is to form a House. Players within a House share their Thrones with each other, and are therefore better enabled to share resources and build large-scale structures. Gather your friends, form a House, and create a massive kingdom!
Magic Structures: Enchanted Amenities
A wizard would also not be content with hanging their pointed hat in a mere shell of stone and wood. As you know, magic extends to everything in Citadel, and that includes the buildings you’ll be creating. Using your growing magical prowess, you will be able to construct an array of magically imbued structures including defensive shields, attack towers, mana pools, respawn stones and many more. Use these structures to buff yourself and protect your property from foes.
Endless Possibilities
We’ve created the tools so you can express your creativity and make your own unique mark on Citadel’s sprawling landscape. We here at Blue Isle Studios have had a ton of fun building absurd and elaborate castles, and we can’t wait to see what you guys cook up once you get your hands on the game! In the meantime, check out these examples of what we’ve come up with:
