A flawed but charming physics-based castle-building sandbox kept alive by the community edition and mods. Skip it if you want a finished, supported game with real content.
Great for
Creative builders who love castles, siege engines and physics, especially with friends and mods
Main risk
Abandoned, unfinished game with little content and bugs that depends on community mods
