The briefing

About this game

Ballerburg: Castle Chaos is a real-time artillery strategy game set in a 3D environment. Instead of commanding armies, players rely on ballistic weapons such as cannons and catapults to destroy an opponent’s castle or complete objectives described in the mission briefing.

Players can build and expand their own castle surroundings, including peasant huts and smithies, then collect taxes to fund weapons and upgrades. Shots require careful adjustment because their landing points cannot be predicted precisely in advance, while ammunition costs and reload times limit how frequently weapons can fire.

Combat can include heavy stones, cannonballs, a bomber airship, and magical effects. Wizards can summon sandstorms and rain to obstruct an opponent’s visibility and targeting. The game supports multiplayer and hot-seat matches for up to four players.
