Castlehold is set in a world where time and space have collapsed. Remnants of kingdoms and cities, both modern and old, have spread across islands over a vast ocean known as the Drift. Latent powers have awoken within humanity and those with selfish ambitions used their newfound abilities to reign over this new chaos. Now it is time to for you to raise an army and liberate the Remnants from their tyrannical oppressors.(Storyline via IGDB)
