CastleStorm review

Tower defense with something more! :)

Witty-lame dialogues (lol), cool concept (for both artwork and gameplay), and you get to build your own castle (with preset rooms for you to add)! :D

Witty-lame dialogues: What? My soldiers are on strike? ... lol  :P

There are 2 kinds of mission - one is the main story missions and the other is side missions whereby you can earn more money to upgrade your units or stats. I highly recommend you to do ALL the side missions :) They do help! Bonus objectives are a must as well - if you can do it. Some of them are rather hard IMHO hence I gave up after the 3rd try lol. :P Select the best projectile, troops and castle rooms to make it easier for you to complete the bonus objective.

Mission start: You can select up to 5 types of troops, projectiles and spells per mission

Cool stats that you can show off to people - like having 100% accuracy or 100% headshots lol :P

Besides that, you get to choose from a variety of fun projectiles to shoot your enemies with. The same goes for spells, soldiers and castle rooms (that have function).

Fun projectiles: Weird kinds of projectiles that can convert enemy troops or turn the enemy into a turkey... lol

Spells whereby you can 'summon' the hero/ heroin into battle - you'll be taking control of the hero/heroin and hack and slash your way to the enemy gates in a scrolling 2D platform :) Note that everything else is in 3D, but your hero/heroin's movement is 2D only.

And now for the most unique feature of this game: castle building! :) Although you can opt for the preset ones, I often find the preset ones a bit lacking. So, Ima build my own castle (using the preset one as a template ofc hehe)! The controls for the editor may take you awhile to figure out and get used to as there are no tutorial, whatsoever, for this. Actually, there aren't any tutorials for you that tells you about the existence of the preset castles... anyway, after building the castle, remember to test it first - just in case, the castle will collapse on itself without being hit by any projectiles lol.

CASTLE BUILDING: The editor menu

CASTLE BUILDING: Choose from a variety of rooms to add to your castle. There are functional rooms and structural ones - you are limited to having only 5 different training rooms for troops and 9 bonus rewards' rooms. Max 50 rooms/objects per castle.

CASTLE BUILDING: My epic castle is done! Haha. Save it~ :P

'A pretty cool game that may get a bit repetitive after awhile - like all tower defense I suppose. The best part is castle building IMHO but you need to like alter it a bit to suit each mission - especially if you plan on getting the bonus objective. :) A good and unique game nevertheless, worth a play if you can spare the time. :)' S.Y.
