Question 1

Is Citadel Remonstered actually free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it's a free, DRM-free release on GOG. You need a free GOG account to add it to your library, but there's no payment involved.

Question 2

Do I need to have played the original 1995 Citadel?

Accepted Answer

No. The remake stands on its own — you get the same setting and level layouts without needing any nostalgia for the Amiga original.

Question 3

Does it support a controller?

Accepted Answer

Yes, gamepad input is supported natively alongside mouse and keyboard.

Question 4

How long is it?

Accepted Answer

It's a short, focused game rather than a sprawling campaign — closer to a weekend project than a full-length shooter, in keeping with the scope of the original.
