You lead the defense of a medieval settlement in eastern Europe as Mongol forces invade. Protect your Keep and hold your lands against repeated attacks.
Manage your castle economy by gathering resources, expanding into new territory, and building economic and defensive structures. Train and upgrade troops, then lead them in large-scale battles.
Skirmish mode challenges you to survive until a timer runs out, with resource locations and compositions changing between games. Endless mode removes the time limit and sends a continuing stream of enemies against your defenses.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its medieval Mongol-invasion setting and straightforward settlement-building and defense loop. Some also like the challenge of preparing for the final assault or playing Endless mode. Other reviews find the middle stretch repetitive or slow, with resource gathering and waiting between attacks drawing particular criticism.
