The implementation of Ballerburg is another attempt to transfer artillery games from 2D to a three-dimensional world. The action takes place in a fantasy environment and is described with a share of irony and humor. Not only dialogues, but also full-fledged cut scenes allow you to reveal the character of the character and the warring sisters-princesses. As a representative of RTS, the game forces you to maintain a precarious balance between the main areas of development - the construction of a castle, the construction of fortifications, infrastructure, scientific developments. In between, the player can independently shoot from the guns installed on the walls. The treasury in Ballerburg: Castle Siege plays a big role. Each shot costs a certain amount, which must be taken from somewhere. As a rule, taxes are the main source of income. However, these also affect the growth of peasants in the castle. Therefore, the economic component of the gameplay is extremely important. It is necessary to maintain the level of filling the state purse within the limits sufficient for emergency construction or military actions (firing from guns). Ballerburg offers 11 different combat units for each army. As technology develops, simple catapults develop into full-fledged rocket launchers, and even an airship for air attacks. The accuracy, the area of destruction, the number of shells available for a salvo differ. Also, each of the princesses has her own special weapon, different in the principle of action, visual presentation and characteristics. Since a fantasy setting is used, the use of magic spells will be a logical addition to firepower.
