Brian Sharon if The Vita Lounge writes : "With impressive grace Castlestorm uses father-like humor uses as glue to bring together multiple genres with the goal of constructing something grander, and ultimately better than the sum of its parts. Unfortunately CastleStorm is a game destined to live in the shadow of the Angry Birds franchise due to the physics based projectiles it blends into its real-time strategy and tower-defense concoction, however this unfair juxtaposition does the game a great disservice. Yet despite how much of a step forward CastleStorm is for both the genres it incorporates, as well as Zen Studios themselves, it is nearly undone at the start by stiff and imprecise controls; which is something that our furious fine feathered friends have perfected.
"When it comes to indie gaming, there's always a wide selection of fresh titles to enjoy. I recently played through a bunch of indies myself so here are my thoughts about 6 undeniably unique experiences." - A.J.
Now available on Nintendo Switch, CastleStorm is a light-hearted take on the tower defence genre, and it’s fantastic.
I almost want to get this. I've played Castlestorm before on the Vita, and it was pretty good.
Zen Studios’ Castlestorm makes its way to Switch, polishing gameplay from a number of other games and bringing in its own humorous writing to tie everything together.
