Castle Attack

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffOctober 17, 2013We'd gladly throw on our armor and storm the castle constantly if this freeware game could save and sucked up less memory, but overall, it's not a bad diversion on a dull day. Castle Attack keeps its simple: you defend your walls (three of them) on the left side of the screen, while the enemy charges from the right. Game controls are easy to master, as all you really do is set the angle at which your archers let fly arrows at your enemies below. If they get too close, you have the option of unleashing either flaming logs, boiling oil, or heavy rocks. Castle Attack's graphics are decidedly medieval, yet are at least 3D and decent enough for freeware. We were impressed by the game's sound track, but fear it's the culprit behind the hefty download (21 MB). The main drawback is you can't save a game in progress; if you a single battle, you're back to the beginning. For knights in training with a fast connection, this is a decent adventure to try out.
