With backing from Slay the Spire and Among Us devs, this Steam Next Fest roguelike inspired by an unlikely classic immediately stands out – even if I am a little confused

Conjure.

Browser game classic Castle Wars might have been lost to the mists of time, or perhaps just the sunsetting of Flash a few years ago. And while it might very well be out there somewhere, there's now an easy way to replicate its magic thanks to Steam Next Fest - and it has the backing of two of the biggest names in the indie scene.

Castle V Castle puts a simplified, monochrome Spy vs Spy aesthetic on top of the 1v1 gameplay of Castle Wars. The goal is simple - from your castle, you'll attempt to reduce your opponents' fortress to rubble before they can do the same to yours. To do that, you'll need to manage your resources; stocks of bricks are generally used to build your own castle higher; your armory of weapons is mostly used to either directly attack your opponents' base, or to steal their resources away from them; magic can be used to summon more of all three resources, or deal some major bursts of damage.
