The Knight paces the Castle parapet which he must defend to the death. In the east and west turrets, hidden serfs feverishly boil oil and stack the rocks and swords. Below, evil Orcs gather. The dreaded F5 signal is given and they begin to climb seige ladders.

Our Knight rushes east for a rock, aims and drops, rushes west for the next. Suddenly, the first Orc is at parapet level and the rock supply dries up. You might fight with a sword only until the ladders are cleared. While all the time, Orc archers fire crossbolts.

Injuries stun the knight for precious seconds - watch out for decapitation. The ladders are cleared, the rocks are back and the oil is ready. One oil drop and all the Orcs go up in flames.

There is a brief pause for a body count and then more Orcs arrive, or the Sorcerer, or Stone Warts, or Demon Trolls... action is fast, furious and exhausting.

The graphics are excellent and very satisfying sound. I can't write more - the Orcs are attacking.
