Isometric real-time strategy with adventure and RPG elements. The creators divided the game into two main modes: adventure and strategy. In the first of them we command the team on the side of Caesar or the Gallic druid. Strategic tasks include developing the army, hiring mercenaries, collecting artifacts and conquering castles. Production guarantees about 40 hours of fun.

Celtic Kings blends strategy, role-playing and adventure elements into one incredible experience. Both RTS and Role-Playing gamers will enjoy the experience of becoming the young Warrior Larax, who after losing his beloved one, has given himself to the goddess of war, Kathubodua. There are two modes of gameplay within Celtic Kings: adventure and strategic mode.

In strategic mode, you play against computer opponents or other players on the Internet exercising your strategic and tactical skills to achieve objective victory. You train and command many units, hire and develop heroes, acquire powerful artefacts and conquer strongholds and villages. Launch large-scale military campaigns against your foes to bring them to their knees. The game-play in this mode is similar to the traditional RTS gameplay.

In adventure mode, you control a party of heroes and explore the world as the struggle between Caesar and the Gaul chieftain evolves. Which side you will support? Will you betray your allies of yesterday? Will you follow the mysterious druids as they request your assistance? Command strongholds and large armies; take risky missions behind the enemy lines. Find powerful artefacts to support you. Make friends and foes as you try to reveal who are you and who you want to be.
