Sillysoft Games (http://sillysoft.net/) says Castle Vox for Mac OS X and Windows has entered beta testing. The new simultaneous-turn strategy game will feature large maps with no player limit, teams, castles, and knights, reports Inside Mac Games.

Those who pre-order the game for US$12.20 will be able to participate in the beta test. Here’s how the game is described:

“Castle Vox is a simultaneous-turns strategy game. Out-strategize your opponents on a variety of war maps. Board game fans will particularly enjoy Castle Vox, which mixes elements from both Diplomacy and Axis & Allies. Castle Vox includes maps spanning many eras and mythologies, such as the American Revolution, Hades, Japan, Napoleonic Wars, Native America, Outer Space, and the Roman Empire. The map editor lets players create their own boards. Multi-player modes allow both relaxed one-move-a-day games as well as fast speed wars.”
