DESCRIPTION

Rampart is a one- to two-player game that combines strategy and action as you take the role of a medieval warlord. Build fortifications and position your cannons in order to destroy the enemy's fortress or defend against an invading armada. Once the onslaught ends, quickly rebuild and extend your territory before the next volley strikes. Victory gains you dominion over all you survey. Gameplay is fast and quickly learned. Rampart offers three levels of difficulty, three different two-player game lengths with six different battlefields, and the ability for each player to customize the control pad for their own personal feel. Each round of play is divided into three phases: Cannon Placement Phase, Battle Phase, and the Build and Repair Phase. Use strategy to complete the Cannon Placement, fast reflexes to destroy your opponents in Battle, and puzzle-solving skills to Build and Repair. ~ James A. Rudkin, All Game Guide
