About CastleStorm
Welcome to the world of CastleStorm, a super genre mashup of 2D physics destruction mashed with tower defense brawler! CastleStorm was born out of the fond childhood memory of building and destroying LEGO castles.
The clouds bring rumors of war…It’s Knights vs. Vikings in CastleStorm, where medieval warfare meets 2D physics-based destruction! Controlling the battle in real time, players will harness the power of medieval artillery, manage a fearsome ground attack, and cast powerful spells! CastleStorm features a story-driven solo campaign, a custom castle editor, online multiplayer, co-op modes, and more. Building castles and knocking them down has never been so much fun!
CastleStorm is a physics based tower destruction game, combining elements of real time strategy, resource management, and a beautiful blend of challenging gameplay scenarios.
Multiplayer battles and Co-Op. CastleStorm features multiple modes of multiplayer action for both local and online play:
• 1 vs. 1 split-screen mode, simply try and beat your opponent
• Survival Co-op: Two players team up to fight off waves of enemies together! One player will control the ballista, the other controls ground forces
• Last Stand Co-op: Both players control a hero and fight off endless waves of enemies together!
Build your own castle! CastleStorm features a tower construction editor allowing players to construct their own custom castles that will be used in battle. Castles must be constructed wisely, as choices determine which types of troops and resources will be available during battle!
Twelve incredibly beautiful environments and a comical story. Sir Gareth leads his troops into battle against the raging Vikings to recover the stolen gem and bring peace to the realm!
Multiple paths to victory. You can choose how to defeat your enemy. Capture the flag, destroy their castle, or complete another predetermined level objective in order to claim victory. Each level features multiple objectives, each with their own rewards!
An arsenal that would make any medieval warrior proud! Harness the power of medieval ballista weaponry, and launch an assortment of explosive weapons including Morningstars, Apple Grenades, Homing Eagles, and even flying sheep to defeat an onslaught of enemies trying to capture your flag and destroy your castle. Deploy a fearsome ground attack of swordsmen, knights, and donkey riders in order to protect your castle gates, and if all else fails, call upon powerful spells to help keep the enemy at bay.
You’ve won the battle, now power up so you can win the war! As you power up in CastleStorm, new weapons and troop classes become available for use in battle.

If you are under the age of 7, or over the age of 27 with a sudden inexplicable urge to replay Age of War, this is the game for you. I can highly recommend avoiding it to everyone else.
This game is very positive vibes and the storyline also nice
Rating: 6/10 — A Decent Casual Time-Killer, Nothing More CastleStorm is a fun, lighthearted mashup of 2D physics destruction (like Angry Birds) and basic tower defense/real-time strategy. The core concept is entertaining for a few hours. Aiming your ballista, destroying the enemy castle piece by piece, and deploying your own troops onto the battlefield creates a solid casual gameplay loop. The cartoonish art style is charming, and the physics-based destruction can be quite satisfying when you land a perfect shot. However, the game lacks any real depth. The campaign quickly becomes repetitive, as you essentially do the exact same thing in every level. The strategy elements are very basic, and once you figure out the most effective troops and projectiles, the challenge completely disappears.
as a top 20 player (you will find me on the leaderboards) I felt like i should make a review. I first played this on the ps3, the game was fun but never standout. I would say it is a good game especially if you have friends to play with but in all honesty the gameplay can be an acquired taste. if you do decide to play and go for the leaderboard grind spam golems and healers. stack instakill projectiles as when ai strength caps at level 25/26 basic stuff will do nothing.
Um jogo muito bom, joguei quando criança e nunca terminei, peguei para re-jogar esses tempos para relembrar, e que jogo divertido. Ele é meio que uma fusão de Clash of Clans com Angry Birds, e funciona muito bem. É legal ficar construindo os castelos de forma a ficar mais difícil do inimigo destruir, e a gameplay jogando lanças, bombas e outras coisas diferentes no castelo inimigo é muito legal, é bem satisfatório ver a destruição. O sistema de tropas também é simples mas funciona bem, dando pra fazer 'combos' de curandeiro com uma tropa mais forte, por exemplo. O jogo tem uma variedade boa de itens, magias, tropas, e outras melhorias que você pode fazer no seu castelo. Em geral achei um jogo casual bem legal, a única coisa que me incomodou um pouco foi a questão de escalabilidade dos inimigos: às vezes o nível deles sobe meio rápido demais, o que acaba incentivando a 'farmar' mais moedas para melhorar seu castelo, o que pode demorar alguns minutos.
Things I Like: -The gameplay is amazing, it is the perfect combination of a tower defense game, an Age of War-style sidescrolling strategy game, and Angry Birds; I haven't seen any other game like it before or since. - The cartoony art style is great; it really fits the tone of the game. - The soundtrack, made by the legendary composer Waterflame, is supreme. I got a huge wave of nostalgia while listening to it. Things I disliked: - The levels are pretty hit or miss, especially in the latter half of the game. It's to the point where I wonder if the devs bothered playtesting their levels on hard (which was the difficulty I played most of the game on). I'm pretty sure that if I didn't grind some levels for gold, I don't think I would have been able to beat the game. - The concept of switching factions halfway through the game is cool in theory, but it isn't very good here because the Vikings are unequivocally worse in plenty of ways than the Knights, which is part of why the latter half takes a dip in enjoyability for me. - The story is pretty forgettable, but I can forgive that because the story isn't the focus; gameplay is. - From what I've heard, multiplayer isn't good …
