About this game

Castle Crisis is a self-published action game by Bryan Edewaard, designed to closely resemble the Atari coin-op game Warlords.

Players defend their castle by using a shield to deflect fireballs toward opponents. Fireballs can also be captured and launched with greater force. The game was released for Atari 800 and Atari 5200 in 2003.
