This is a game that will test your reflexes, your hand-eye coordination and your ability to fire arrows at orcs moving progressively faster. There is no reticule in this game, you will only be given a vague sense of where the arrow will go based upon a thin white line pointing away from the bow. The power to save the tower is truly in your hands. You must defend with the best of your abilities or be destroyed.
