==Gameplay==
In this game, you play as a knight defending his fort, and you have to survive through 50 waves of orcs and other enemies who try to breach the fort's defenses. As the enemies approach the stronghold, you can fight them off at the barricades, or engage them toe to toe inside the castle - in the event that an enemy manages to break a barricade and get inside the fort, you can repair the broken barricade at any time as long as you are near it.
Killing enemies earns you gold and XP, with the former needing to be picked up from the ground after dropping from defeated enemies, while the latter is earned automatically. Gold can be used to buy new equipment (including various types of weapons, armors, and shields), upgrade the fort's barricades, and recruit soldiers to fight alongside you, along with the specialty buildings needed to unlock more items in the aforementioned categories. Meanwhile, earning enough XP levels you up, allowing you to choose a skill that enhances some aspect of your combat capabilities.
