Hi! I'm Denis, the developer of SiegeUp. I was working on it for the last 4 years, in my free time after work in the beginning, trying now to make this project my main job. My goal is to make a balanced RTS to play on different platforms and bring new players to the genre. I also feel that the concept of walls and sieges has not been fully developed in RTS games. Walls in SiegeUp allow bringing opponents closer to each other while keeping pace and diversifying the landscape. I keep working on updates very actively, according to the plan, 2 more races and tech tree to come by the end of the year. So, wish me good luck!
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Very solid game. Campaign was fun. Spent a lot of time playing this and dont regret it.
Went to grab the game and it didnt charge us the $4, is there a way we can donate or something? Ive only played about half hour so far but Im enjoying it, and we definitely want to pay the developers.
Add a sandbox mode that has unlimited resources and all the building options available for both yourself and any enemy ai. That way we can customize our own battlefield and scenarios. The icing on the cake would be to add a good level designer so we can construct our levels as well by placing trees, rocks, river, sea, etc. The game is decent for the price but Id be willing to pay more for these added features.
Simple graphics and gameplay controls. But still incredibly complex and entertaining.
We love the game every way imaginable but why doesnt iOS get the cheats option but android does, Ill gladly buy that but other than that this game is very addictive and great to pass time! 10/10 for and strategist out there.
Why cant you build walls or towers without having to build your own map or play someones map but in all honesty this game is addictive and time consuming in a good way we just absolutely love it! Just hoping we as in the players are able to build walls and towers to build our kingdoms while bracing for battle.
When Im playing multiplayer and we try to move a army of units they dont move and we just get invaded.can you add a trading system.
This game is Lego-like in appearance. Good game for middle schoolers to learn real time strategy but being an adult player of Ages or Empires PC games this does not compare. Hopefully, some day we will see one with more realistic graphics.
Saw the game on Reddit and decided to give it a try. We are very impressed with what Ive seen as we are half way through the campaign. We love how the game can be played in portrait! The controls are alright, but can be a bit cumbersome when trying to do things quickly. It can eat through the battery on our XS, but we have it on 60 FPS on Low graphics.
