Battlements

About the Game

The Golden Age of Piracy. Privateers, freebooters, and rival crowns all want your stretch of coast - and the only thing standing between them and your treasure is a wall you haven't built yet.

Battlements is a real-time castle defense game built around a tight three-phase loop: lay out your walls during a frantic build window, place cannons inside what you've enclosed, then survive the wave bearing down on you. Every round you live to see, the enemy comes back uglier.

Build. Load. Fire. Repeat.

  • Race the clock to seal your castle before the next assault - every cell of enclosed land becomes a place you can stand a cannon

  • Aim and fire each cannon by hand. No auto-targeting, no upgrades that play the game for you

  • Patch what the enemy broke, fortify what they targeted, and hope you read the next wave right

A Coastline Worth Defending

  • Multiple hand-painted theaters across a sprawling pirate campaign, each with its own coastline, wave patterns, and enemy fleet

  • Sloops, galleons, and worse - every ship class fights differently, and the late-stage stuff doesn't play fair

  • Earn doubloons to unlock new cards, cannons, and tactical options between battles

Cards Change The Rules

  • A growing deck of one-shot tricks: thunderous super shots, defensive buffs, and dirty debuffs to slow the fleet down

  • Mix and match between rounds to suit the map, the enemy, and your own playstyle

Multiplayer

  • Head-to-head pirate duels: same coastline, two castles, one survivor

  • Asymmetric maps and shared decks keep a fast pace to the matches

Built For Couch Or Deck

  • Native gamepad support, Steam Deck Verified targeted, full keyboard + mouse if that's your weapon

  • Localized for English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese

A successor in spirit to the arcade classics where one wrong wall placement decided the war. Welcome aboard.
