Castlestorm mixes action and strategy in a tower defense game reminiscent of both roleplaying games, Warcraft and Angry Birds. It’s a mix that is sometimes messy, oftentimes fun and with unexpected amounts of depth and variety in its mechanics.

For a company so well known for it’s console-spanning pinball franchise, Castlestorm is as beautiful and precise as any one of their fantastic tables.

Simple, compelling and really hard to put down. [Issue#100, p.87]

ça ressemble à un jeu iphone, ça en a le mauvais goût, ça suinte la 2D de supermarché et les 16 couleurs sur une palette à peine plus grande ; on s'en lasse vite, on s'y ennuie rapidement. Ses mécaniques sont simplistes et répétitives : pas de doute il s'agit d'un jeu "indépendant" triple Z. L'ambiance imbécile dans laquelle il se complaît et se roule, content de lui et se croyant "drôle", le destine à un jeune public ; cependant il plaira également aux adulescents encore en phase de rébellion contre l'impérialisme triple A. Ou aux étudiants de gauche (pléonasme). Si cela peut se jouer quelques minutes dans le bus, c'est plus problématique sur la console de salon où ses défauts vous sautent au visage littéralement.

Addictive and fun RTS/tower defence with a nice art style, dry sense of humour and light hearted atmosphere. There are a healthy amount of game modes and upgradeable units along with a simple castle editor and local or online co-op and versus multiplayer. It's a nice change of pace from hectic racers/shooters. It's encouraging to see that Zen Studios can create something quite unique along with their excellent pinball tables. A great game well worth 800 MSP.

Mix of genres and mechanics difficult to categorize, CastleStorm is proposed as one of the most interesting Xbox Live Arcade of the moment.

A great mix of action, strategy, and endearing silliness – and also a great reminder that there are some games only download services like Xbox Live Arcade can provide.

CastleStorm is proof that ZEN Studios can do more than exciting Pinball games. The amount of fun you can have here largely outweighs the minor gripes and annoyances you will come across while playing.

An entertaining and well-thought-out game, adding interesting new elements to the famous Angry Birds formula.

There’s nothing inherently broken about Castle Storm, it just tries to do too much for its own good. It doesn’t help that the base concept is still very derivative either, and I couldn’t shake the Angry Birds vibe I was getting throughout.
