'CastleStorm: Definitive Edition' (ALL) Coming Next Week

Set in a colorful medieval world, CastleStorm is a new breed of 2D archery projectile warfare and 2D physics-based structure destruction game.

Players will experience a challenging mix of real time strategy, resource management, and a variety of different gameplay scenarios.

CastleStorm features medieval ballista weaponry, allowing players to 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 games, and if all else fails, call upon powerful spells to help keep the enemy at bay.

In addition, CastleStorm features a tower construction editor that allows 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!

The new version of the game brings some great new features to the fold, as well as both DLC packs, “From Outcast to Savior” and “Warrior Queen”.

In addition to the game’s two DLC packs, CastleStorm: Definitive Edition also includes 1080p resolution on both consoles, improved textures and character models, and voice support (requires Kinect for Xbox One and PlayStation Camera on PS4).

CastleStorm continues to be a huge success for us, so offering it to PS4 and Xbox One players was an easy choice,” said Mel Kirk, VP of Publishing at Zen Studios. “Bringing over the original game was not really enough for us though, so we made sure to add everything we could to ensure the definitive CastleStorm experience on this new generation of consoles.”

If you haven’t yet played CastleStorm, then you are in for a real treat! CastleStorm: Definitive Edition serves up a hilarious mix of medieval warfare, 2D physics-based destruction, and tower defense, with some melee brawler action thrown in! It also features a story-driven solo campaign, a custom castle editor, online multiplayer, co-op modes, and more. This version of the game will feature the entire original campaign and expansions, plus a bunch of new content including new battles, modes, spells and features, all running 1080p at 60 frames per second.

CastleStorm: Definitive Edition will be available for $9.99/€9,99/£7.99.
