Don't get me wrong it looks lovely, the pixel art is great and everything is just nicely put together but that's where it ends. From the very start it's pretty much a clickable wall of text and you are thrust into a game where you have to manage everything. It feels so frustrating, constantly juggling between talking, kicking hacking and more. One wrong move and it's game over, but having to do it again and again and again will drive you crazy!! There's no hints as to what to do next, for example the first bit you have to calm then down or scare there but there's no animation and it's mostly luck. For example I had all of them calmed and suddenly one by one as I was telling the guards to back off they all started running away. Within about 30mins I was bored, frustrated and didn't want to play anymore. A game should not be like this in the first mission. PROS - Looks great, great sounds and music CONS - Too hard, Frustrating, repetitive 2.5/10

Castles 1 takes me back , it was such a great game i remember playing it for many hours trying to create the best castle. Castles 2 although good , it was nowhere near as good as castles 1...
Great game and one of the best rpg's of its type however it does need a little fiddling to get the game to work nicely with the mouse(DOSBOX) . Click on your start button bottom left , then programs , gog.com , stonekeep , graphic mode setup and change to Direct3D. Also set autolock=false in the [dosbox] conf file!
