Rampart is an action game released in 1991 for the Nintendo NES. The core gameplay revolves around building and defending castles against invading forces. Players must strategically place walls and cannons to protect their territory while simultaneously repairing damages caused by enemy attacks.
The main objective in Rampart is to survive waves of assaults by constructing strong defenses and launching counterattacks. The pace of the game is a blend of thoughtful planning during the building phase and fast-paced cannon firing during combat, creating a dynamic gameplay loop.
A unique mechanic in Rampart is the combination of puzzle-like castle construction with real-time artillery combat. This fusion results in an unusual idea where players switch between building structures and actively targeting enemies. The distinctive feature of the game is its segmented gameplay, alternating between strategy and action segments, which was uncommon for its time on the NES platform.
