Surprisingly fun. [Posted on 2008-06-12]
You play a red-bearded General, apparantly the only male in the whole land aside from two snarky, hooded weapons assistants and an elderly inventor. In each scenario you are provided with a castle (sometimes just a plot of land) and are instructed to destroy various other castles within a group of four feuding sisters. Simple concept, done pretty well.

Mind you, this isn't a game to get engrossed in for the next week. It's a battlefield artillery game, straight-forward as that. You have to maintain walls (and protect the farmers who pay your taxes), research bombardments and magic, and deliver a whole lot of hurt.

While it started there, this isn't exactly a port from PS1. The graphics are slightly improved (nothing astounding) but the controls are far easier and the gameplay is a little smoother with a few additional weapons and more (brief) cutscenes. Definitely a fun waste of an hour here and there.
