What are the best games like Castle Story for strategy lovers?

Total War: Warhammer II. With a rich lore based on the Warhammer Fantasy universe, the campaign mode has a long - running story. You control different factions, each with their own goals and storylines, and the battles and political machinations create a complex and engaging narrative.

'Plague Inc.' has an interesting story from a different perspective. As a pathogen, your goal is to infect and wipe out humanity. The game progresses with various strategies you can employ, and as you do so, there are little snippets of news and information that build up a sort of 'story' of the global pandemic you're creating. It's a unique take on strategy and storytelling.

Civilization VI. It has a great single - player experience with a story that unfolds as you build your civilization. You start from the Stone Age and progress through different eras, facing various challenges like wars, diplomacy issues, and technological advancements. Each decision you make shapes the story of your civilization, and there are also historical events and leaders that add depth to the narrative.

Civilization VI has a great story in the sense that as you play, you're writing the history of your civilization. You start from a small tribe and build it up over time. The interactions with other civilizations, the technological advancements, and the historical events that occur as you progress all contribute to a unique story that is different every time you play.

For a more historical - strategic story, 'Civilization VI' is excellent. You can build and lead your own civilization from the Stone Age to the Information Age. The game has a lot of historical events and leaders incorporated into the story. You'll face challenges like wars, diplomacy, and technological advancements as you shape the fate of your civilization.

Age of Empires IV. It has a great historical story mode. You can experience different historical campaigns, like the Norman conquest. The story is presented in a way that makes you feel like you're part of the historical events, with cutscenes and in - game events that tie together the gameplay and the historical context.

I think 'Daxter' has a wonderful story. It's a prequel to the 'Jak and Daxter' series. Daxter is turned into an ottsel and has to go on a journey to find a way to turn back. Along the way, he gets into all sorts of adventures and meets some interesting characters. 'Prince of Persia: Revelations' has a great story as well. The Prince is on a quest to save his kingdom from a dark force. The platforming and combat are intertwined with the story, making it an immersive experience. 'Tales of Eternia' is a great RPG with a rich story. You follow the characters on a journey across two different worlds and the story deals with themes of love, friendship, and the balance between different powers.

There's "Stonehearth" as well. It has a comparable gameplay style to Castle Story. In Stonehearth, you control a group of settlers, build their homes, and manage resources, which is quite like the core aspects of Castle Story where you construct and expand your castle while handling different resources.

'Xenoblade Chronicles 3D' is an amazing choice. The story is set in a world where two warring nations exist. The characters are on a journey to change their fates and the fate of the world. It has a vast and detailed world to explore, and the story is full of twists and turns as you uncover the secrets behind the war and the true nature of the world.

Definitely 'The Room'. It's a puzzle game with an overarching story. You are in a room filled with strange contraptions, and as you solve the puzzles, you uncover the secrets of the room and the story behind it. Another good choice is 'Toon Blast'. It has a simple but engaging story about helping the Toons save their world. And 'Homescapes' has a story where you help Austin renovate his family's mansion while also uncovering family secrets and memories.
