A godlike village simulator designed to bridge the gap between the complexities of village simulation with the simplicity of classic 1990s real-time strategy. Inspired by games like Towns, Gnomoria, Warcraft, Banished and Dwarf Fortress.

Retro-Pixel Castles is developed by Raymond Doerr and published by SixtyGig Games. It was released in 27 Oct, 2014.
Retro-Pixel Castles is at heart a godlike village simulator, but it also throws in plenty of familiar game play mechanics from classic 90s era real-time strategy games like Warcraft, along with some tower defense and survival elements in an attempt to create a new kind of village simulator. The goal is to try to bridge the gap between the depth and complexity of traditional village simulators, the fun of godlikes and the simplicity of real-time strategy.
You can’t win!
The problem nearly all village simulators tend to face is you seem to eventually reach a point where you can’t lose the game. You become so skilled at knowing exactly what to do and in exactly what order, the game loses all of it’s appeal and you eventually run off to play something else. That’s not the case with Retro-Pixel Castles, it aims to make a game you can’t win. Every game day, the game gets progressively harder. In RPC you will eventually lose. The goal isn’t to win, that’s not possible, the goal is to see how long you can survive!
Build a village, and die trying!
A major part of the game is village management, and trying to discover new and creative ways to use the tools at your disposal to keep yourself alive as long as possible.
Several Game Modes
Currently, the game offers two main game modes. Survival and Peaceful, Survival is the game the way it was meant to be played, as a brutal survival style village sim. Peaceful on the other hand has nearly no monsters, and plays out much like a traditional village simulator with some godlike and RTS elements sprinkled on top. More game modes are planned like the upcoming Sandbox mode where you basically are given unlimited resources and access to play around with the engine.
