Castlestorm – Review (WiiU) | CriticalIndieGamer

(CriticalIndieGamer)Admittedly , Castlestorm is mechanically sound, but then so might be a robo-puppy made from human teeth. It’d be functional but you wouldn’t want it in your house. Comparisons to Crush The Castle can be drawn almost instantly.You, the brave knights, fire different types of projectiles into an incredibly flimsy opposing castle built by Vikings who have apparently never heard of mortar. Meanwhile the Vikings return the assault on your equally as fragile abode. Battles rage on the ground as well as in the air, as countless ground troops are sent to bash menacingly on your gates. If you are unobservant or inept enough to let them through they will steal your flag or attempt to beat your castle to death. You can summon troops of your own to hold them off but it’s much easier to just shoot them with the ballista. You will still need troops to carry flags and take some of the strain off of you while you tend to more important things like watering your dog or feeding your petunias.
