  • Castlehold is a fittingly inventive take on strategy from the Scribblenauts creators - 3 March 2021

    5th Cell, the developer of handheld curio Scribblenauts, has announced its new game today, called Castlehold. It's a card-based tactics game - which is a bit of a surprise, given the sharp left turn from Scribblenauts. And it's also very good, from the brief bit of it that I've played - which, hands up, was maybe a bit of a surprise to me too. It's out today in early access on Steam, it's free-to-play with optional microtransactions, and it does suffer from a bad case of fonts. And if we're being brutal, there is a touch of the less-fashionable mobile game to it all, too, thanks to a mish-mash of styles and familiarly broad-sweeping army types like 'medieval' and 'western'. But! It is good, and I am a snob, so we'll just skip past the aesthetics here and get to the meat of it. Castlehold is played on a symmetrical island map, made of exactly 19 hexagonal tiles. Like a Hearthstone or a M…

About this game

Castlehold is an innovative competitive strategy game, featuring the new Active Resource Control (ARC) System. Build your Army, lead your troops into Battle and see how you stack up against your opponent in fast-paced, strategic combat. ACTIVE RESOURCE CONTROL (ARC) Controlling or denying enemy gold-generating Villages on the Battlefield is the key to victory. You must decide when to hold onto your Villages, enabling you to deploy stronger, more expensive troops, when to advance taking the enemy’s Villages, and when to strategically retreat. COLLECT YOUR TROOPS YOUR WAY Recruit Squads of randomized Soldiers or directly acquire up to 4 daily Units not currently in your collection – all with the currency you’ve gained from Leveling Up and completing Quests. Win or lose, you’ll gain XP and earn currency rewards when you Level Up. A WAR ACROSS TIME 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. GAME FEATURES - Simple to learn, but difficult to master strategies - Command 5 Free Captains across 4 Free Battlefields - 300 Early Access Soldiers in Total (150x2) - 70 Soldiers unlocked when you start (35x2) - Ranked Ladder, Casual Play, and Friend Play Modes - No class-based Army restrictions, mix and match your Units your way! - More Modes and Additional Troops to come!

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Castlehold's USD price history spans from Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Castlehold's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 24, 2026 through Sep 24, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Castlehold at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
