GR: Sometimes, genre fusion just seems to make obvious sense. For instance, mixing action games with RPG elements appears as logical as pairing peanut butter and jelly. But some combinations don't have such apparent synergy. If someone asked me what I thought of mixing Angry Birds with tower defense, I'd say they were trying to cash in on two financially proven ideas at once in the hopes of creating a magical, money-printing machine. And yet, here comes CastleStorm, a game that combines the two in a unique "peanut butter and chocolate" sort of way.
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.
From Nintendo Everything: "CastleStorm is coming to Switch, Zen Studios has announced. The mashup of 2D physics destruction and tower defense brawler hits the eShop on August 16. Here’s some additional information about the game and a trailer: Raze castles and conquer your rivals in CastleStorm on Switch."
Blurb made me hungry...
