"We're confident that the hardcore gamer will wholeheartedly embrace the awesome multi-player dynamics, while the more casual gamer will appreciate the short-learning curve and user-friendly interface."

Once the structures are complete, players strategically position weapons
onto their 'Fortress' to begin the battle, in addition to utilizing certain block combinations to bring monsters to life to support their conquest.
