Sandcastle is a community-created Medieval Mode Attack/Defend Control Point map. It is a map set in a sandbox in the back garden of a house.

Sandcastle was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

Underworld

When points A and B are captured, the portal to the Underworld becomes available near point A. It consists of three different areas of the backyard: a tool shed, a toy train's tracks and some toy blocks, and a grill. In the tool shed, players must dodge saw blades; in the toy train tracks, players must jump on the toy blocks (the train can be jumped on as well); and in the grill, players must jump on the steaks, patties, and sausages. Players who survive all three areas are returned to their respective bases with a speed boost, overheal, and a rare magic spell.
