In Bowmaster Prelude, the player is a castle and shoots arrows at the enemy’s castle and units. The players can customize their own castle’s and their opponent’s flags with colors and symbols. They can also select the kind of shooting, click and drag, and two others. Click is the easiest; it shoots the arrow wherever the mouse clicks.

In Bowmaster Prelude game, the player will need to shoot the enemy’s castle and units in assorted landscapes for gold. With the gold, the player can buy better arrows and units. The best arrows are 5000 gold, so I advise players to stock up on money.

The units are the same as the enemy’s, but they cost gold and population. The disadvantage of units is that they can get hurt by your own arrows, so be careful! The advantage is that they can capture your opponent’s flag and help you win, even though you can deploy up to 12 units.

One of the good arrows is the bomb arrow; when it hits the opposing castle, three rocks will drop from different angles, therefore, they are useful when enemy units form an army.
