Flat Defence | Open The Gates! (Sideways Scrolling Strategy Game)
178Open The Gates! is a sideways scrolling castle builder game where we have to build our own castle (obviously) and settlement, plus defend against baddies, all on a beautiful two-dimensional backdrop.
We play the campaign mode and discover that we have an enemy, who is called Feeble, and who is going to grow a magic flower. Anyhow, with the help of our advisor (who may be wearing a nice hat or who might have splendid hair, I'm not quite sure) we begin to build lumbermills and quarries, farms and homes, and soon enough we can build some defences.
We also need to train troops, such as knights from our barracks and archers from our archery range. We're always on the left of the map and the enemy are always on the right, so we build some walls and a tower or two and see how we get on!
As we play through the levels we see different buildings, such as the siegeworks, and new units, like the maceman, which offer different ways to play.
