“Despite being a bit small, it's still a nice model, the fact that it is a closed castle with several ways to assault it, such as going through the doors, breaking a wall, climbing movable stairs or even walls, gives good options for playability. ”

“PoP Battle of Alamut set is for all castle lovers. With the newly introduced nougat colored bricks, this middle-easten castle is unlike other castles released by Lego earlier under the Castle theme. A lot of details e.g. plants, window railings for this castle. In addition,... More the grey, white and nougat colored bricks for the walls and pillars are very well co-ordinated.”

Brickipedia
“The set consists of the palace of Alamut, which is colored white and gold. The catapult can be used to break down the breakaway section of the wall on the left side. On either side, the palace features two large white pillars, with golden domes on top. The Gate into Alamut... More features a large double-door, framed by two towers, one on either side.”
