Our take on CastleMiner Warfare
Instead of keeping combat arenas fixed, this shooter makes construction and destruction part of the match itself. Players can raise defenses during a firefight, reshape routes, and use flowing materials such as fire, oil, lava, and water to alter the battlefield.
What is CastleMiner Warfare?
CastleMiner Warfare is a competitive first-person shooter set on block-based maps that players can build and destroy.
During matches, players can switch between construction and combat to create fortifications. A separate free-build mode supports creating maps, hosting them, and distributing them online. Battles award points for kills and advance players through ranks that unlock weapons, equipment, and building blocks. The game simulates interactions among fire, flammable oil, lava, water, ice, and explosives, with materials flowing through the environment. It supports multiplayer matches with up to 15 friends and enemies and can be played with an Xbox 360 controller. The Steam version is a port of the 2014 Xbox 360 release.
