Why is it Good to Feature on Your Channel?

It has some content strengths that can translate well into engaging videos and streams:

  • Strategic & Tactical Depth: Battles allow use of environment as cover or destruction, meaning every fight can turn unexpectedly. That tension is good for highlight clips and reaction moments.

  • Castle + Map Movement Hook: Because you're controlling a floating fortress and roaming a world, there's a grand scale appeal - viewers like seeing “moving base of operations” as part of gameplay, not just static maps.

  • Squad Customization & Unit Variety: Recruiting, upgrading, equipping different warriors means you can showcase many builds, gear combinations, and “which setup is best” content.

  • Narrative & World Exploration: The story of the Order of the Griffin, ancient ruins, artifact hunts, and hidden lore encourage curiosity, speculation, and viewer interaction (chat guesses, theories, etc.)

  • Replay & Mode Variety: With PvP, co-op, skirmish, and multiple missions, you can mix content types (solo campaign, vs friends, co-op runs) so your channel doesn’t feel repetitive.


Game Mechanics & Key Features

  • Floating Castle as Mobile Base: Your castle is not static — you move it across the world map, exploring, expanding, and engaging enemies.

  • Turn-based combat using environments: Use cover, break objects for advantage, and adapt your tactics dynamically.

  • Squad & Hero upgrades: Recruit companions with specializations, equip them, upgrade their stats, and manage their gear and abilities.

  • Diverse mission types: From sieges to escort missions, defending or attacking castles, artifact hunts, helping allies, etc.

  • Exploration & secrets: The world map hides ruins, artifacts, secrets, and optional paths.

  • Multiplayer / PvP / Co-op modes: You can compete or cooperate with others in certain modes.

 

The Order of the Griffin has at its disposal a floating island-fortress on which its castle sits. As you develop your castle, you will have the opportunity to hire new warriors, equip them with weapons, armor, and elixirs. You can upgrade the castle's core systems to fight off pirate ships, artillery, and other flying islands. While moving your castle around the map, you explore and participate in story quests, discover ancient ruins, secrets, rewards, and artifacts.

 

Stones Keeper uses a turn-based combat system, which lets you use environmental objects as protection against your enemies. As well as the ability to break some of the environmental objects down to move faster, which, in turn, opens up a lot of strategic possibilities.

You can customize your squad by recruiting new companions with multiple specializations, skills and weapon preferences. Missions and battles will be just as diverse: Command your warriors to besiege enemy settlements or defend yours, protect your order's churches, escort civilian wagons, lay siege to enemy castles, aid your allies, and capture new technologies to upgrade your castle.

 

  • Explore a world filled with secrets, mysterious lands, dangerous creatures and unexpected discoveries.

  • Immerse yourself in the epic story of the Order of the Griffin with a single-player campaign spanning over 15 hours, consisting of 45 missions full of intrigue, action, and tension.

  • Manage your own flying castle, fight other castles, unlock upgrades, and develop its systems.

  • Form alliances or fight with other factions inhabiting this world.

  • Conquer your enemies with over 55 unique units such as Gryphon Riders, Elven Witches, Diamond Golems, Dragons, and Ents.

  • Play against your opponents in LAN multiplayer or Remote Play Together using up to two players.

  • You can choose one of four sides to fight against in the castle skirmish mode.

  • Build your own formidable army and determine the fate of the Order.

 

An epic tale of loyalty and betrayal.

 

Assume the role of Princess Elizabeth, who became ruler after the death of her father King Aurelius. You will command the army of the Order of the Griffin. Dark days have come to the lands of the Order after the death of the king. Undead hordes of the Circle of Unquenchable Thirst are advancing from the cursed lands, elves are attacking small towns, orcs and goblins from the steppes appear on the borders. And in the forests ordinary people are better off not appearing without armed guards at all. Elizabeth is faced with a difficult decision, whether to trust the Inquisition, who served faithfully her father for many years, or to take control of her own destiny. Since the head of the church and the Inquisition may have his own plans for the Order of the Griffin and its lands.
