Save for a few underwhelming RTS titles, this current generation of consoles hasn’t looked too fondly upon the popular strategy genre. Commanding armies into battle and building up your defences has always been regarded as more suited to the keyboard-and-mouse combination rather than the analogue stick controller. However, in recent years the emergence of a new type of console and handheld friendly strategy game has emerged. Plants vs Zombies has a lot to answer for, as the tower defence game has become one of the most easily accessible forms of strategy games available on consoles.
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."
