This game gives you the opportunity to build your own castles. It gives you a great variety in building styles, and if you don't know much about the strategic benefits you can get, by building a castle in the "right" way, you certainly will. It is also a help to check out the computers design in this respect.

The game features two different playing modes. The battle mode, and the economic mode. I personaly find the battle mode the most interesting and rewarding, since you will go through a scenario where you have some of the elements of gathering resources, but with the main emphasis on tackeling the incoming enemies, and building the best castle possible.
The economic mode, takes you though different missions where you have to gather a certain amount of resourses to support your kings army. You will see much less action here, and it can become a little boring, if you want your castle to serve it's right.

Overall I've spent more than 100 hours on this game, and that classifies this game as a success in my world. I return to it from time to time, but I will loose interest after some 4 hours of playing, since the main part of the game really is the battle mode scenario.

I hope you will enjoy this game as much as I, and look forward to the real sequel, recently released.
