The developer of the successful Zen Pinball and Pinball FX titles, which are available on pretty much every device capable of playing video games, has decided to branch out anyway. Its latest game, CastleStorm, launches today on Xbox Live Arcade. Building and destroying castles is endlessly funYou typically have two ways to beat a level in CastleStorm. You can either destroy every room in your opponent’s castle or send your ground troops across the battlefield to knock down their gate and capture their flag. One of these is far more satisfying than the other, as I’ve said above.But CastleStorm also includes an editor that you can use to design your ideal castle. You unlock new rooms by playing through the 12 levels of the campaign; in addition to barracks for your ground units and aeries for your flying beasts, you can also slot in special chambers that do things like make your troops do more damage or grant you bonuses to the gold you collect for taking out your opponent’s forces.Your ballista will always be in the same place, but other than that, the design is up to you. Building a castle feels a lot like playing with building blocks — Zen’s designers are not afraid to proclaim their love of Lego — and it doesn’t take long to make something worth keeping.

Once your masterpiece is complete, you can enter Test Mode to make sure that it will stand on its own and also to blast it into dust. You can pretend that this is to see how difficult it will be for your adversary to destroy the thing, but let’s be honest: Careless destruction is a stark inevitability with all building-block constructs.The co-op multiplayerMultiplayer is inevitable in a game like this, and Zen has made some interesting decisions with it. You have three modes to choose from, the most obvious of which is a head-to-head fight in which you and your opponent race to destroy each other’s castles or, less interestingly, capture one another’s flags. But CastleStorm also includes two cooperative game types that are actually more fun than their single-player counterparts.Last Stand is a 2D brawler mode in which you and your partner each control one of the Hero characters. These are superpowerful melee fighters who are typically only available for a limited time in the campaign.

You and your partner work together to fight off increasingly difficult waves of enemies to protect your flag in the middle of the arena.

So far I enjoyed the campaign, and the artstyle,a nd the multiple options for the castle.but there are 2 things that I think could be expanded upon and patched.increasing the 50 room cap on the castles, and maybe expanding the with of the building size atelast by 1 more room.to increase veriety of castle builds both in single player and multi. Also adding a server room view to the game would be nice, I have no idea which mode has players.and waited long times to find lpayers to play against.BUt so far I enjoyed the game, its humor, and visuals, and I like that so much can be done at one time defend/sendunits, shoot, hero mode.it would be ice to maybe add in a future update some active defensive skills(guardians) vs projectiles besides the wall skill.
