Rampart for the Atari 7800 (1990) is a puzzle game that combines strategic planning with fast-paced action. The main objective is to defend your territory by building walls around your castles while simultaneously attacking opponents with cannons.
The pace of the game shifts between a calm building phase and a rapid firing phase. Players must carefully place walls to protect their castles before entering a timed battle segment where cannons automatically fire at enemy fortifications. This cycle creates a dynamic rhythm that challenges both strategic thinking and quick reactions.
A unique mechanic in Rampart is the integration of real-time construction with turn-based defense. Unlike many puzzle games of its time, it incorporates combat elements where players must manage resources and territory control. The distinctive blend of puzzle and strategy set in a medieval siege context gives the game a memorable identity in the puzzle genre on the Atari 7800 platform.
