Citadel: Forged With Fire overview
Want a harsher and more severe world of wizards than Harry Potter's? Citadel: Forged With Fire is your answer. Takes the settings of a fantasy world of Ignus, you'll step into the shoes of a fresh magician apprentice, and start your own journey. Your ambition is to make your name remembered throughout the land, and achieve the absolute power and influence of your empire.
In Citadel: Forged With Fire, you're completely free to decide which path you'll take. The 36-square-kilometer land of Ignus gives you a lot of locations with beautiful landscapes to explore. They including plains, mountains, forests, and many more.
Lying in those places are the ancient ruins containing a long history, leaving behind a lot of mighty artifacts. Eventually, you'll come across your favorite places, where you'll start to build your home there. Use the materials you've gained through battles, you and your friends will build the biggest castles, and printed your emblems on the House flag for even more glory!
Gameplay features
At this moment, you have to choose to spread your influence and get more power. The first route - also the simpler route: violence. To be more specific, you and your allies will bring your magic wands to both the PvE and PvP battles. Hunting the legendary beasts, or embarks in the epic house wars will be the quickest way to make your name remembered.
Additionally, the combat in this game is not limited to just wielding your wands, but you can choose from other weapons as well. They include axes, maces, hammers, swords and even gauntlets, which you can freely opt from to satisfy your fantasy dreams.
The second route is to grow your empire peacefully. Forming an alliance with other empires nearby, trading necessary goods, and spread your influence through the diplomatic discourse. You can still enjoy the magical battles by fighting and taming legendary beasts, so you don't have to worry.
Speaking about beast taming, you can tame the most hostile creatures in this world using the Pacify spell. After bringing them to your side, you can help them level up through battles, and they could be very useful in the future. For example, the Orcs are great with tower sieging, Horses will make you travel fasters, and we all know how dangerous Dragons are.
Last but not least, your magical power allows you to fly instead of running in the land. You can fly using your wands, but it's quite limited, so you can sit on the back of your mounts such as the dragons or huge eagles. It looks good, and feels good at the same time!
