Back in the days it was a fun casual gaming experience that felt very entertaining, not unlike Lemmings or Combat Chess. I think it has multi player capability, but is fun to play single as well. Being a late 1890ies/early 1990ies DOS game it comes with sound and VGA graphics. Like Worms, this game is all about the amusement—fitting that you have to place Tetris tiles to build and repair your castle walls. It may not be challenging to play, but it is so much fun, and harder to advance than one might think... IMHO it also aged well, it is very nice to play still on a modern PC with DOSBox.
