    The Castle Game is a fun, well designed tower defence game that should be added to your collection if you want all the defend your castle thrills without the cash grab that is usually associated with the genre.

    The Castle Game is a small, visually pleasing, and pleasant tower defense title that provides plenty of content.

    The Castle Game offers a decent amount of content and has a sense of polish to it. The enjoyment of the game increases because few problems arise as the game goes on.

    A solid tower defense experience on the console, The Castle Game plays things safe from start to finish. There is a solid foundation here, which offers an enjoyable experience, but it really doesn’t do anything to make itself stand out or try anything new.

    The Castle Game is a fairly entertaining tower defense title, but some contents could have been made with more care.

    For everyone who has become jaded about tower defense, however, The Castle Game will just be another example of the category’s marketplace over-saturation.

    Priced at around a tenner, The Castle Game is a fun slice of tower defence action that packs in decent amount of replay value.

    The gameplay is exciting and works excellently, but it’s unfortunately lost on a backdrop of boring maps and ugly design.

    Great tower defense style game. Brings back memories of playing Rampart as a teen. This game gives you time to setup defenses though.Great tower defense style game. Brings back memories of playing Rampart as a teen. This game gives you time to setup defenses though. Buildings can be repaired in between waves or demolished and moved to another location without losing credits. This is a nice feature. The gameplay is simple to pick up. The graphics and animation are well done. You will get lots of enjoyment for your money! And you will support this great little developer to produce more amazing games.… Full Review »

    I've been playing this game all day (trust me check the past broadcasts on my twitch www.twitch.tv/lanup to prove it haha). Have to say it'sI've been playing this game all day (trust me check the past broadcasts on my twitch www.twitch.tv/lanup to prove it haha). Have to say it's an amazing and beautiful looking game, the controls work unbelievably well on the PS4 controller. There are new modes to unlock after completing the campaign and hard mode to make replaying the levels extra fun. The only reason I gave this game a 8/10 instead of a 10 is because there is no multiplayer which I think would be awesome on this game. But to be fair they are a small indie company so this was likely out of the question, maybe on the next one. Take it from me once you pick this game up you don't want to put it down!… Full Review »

It takes a little while for the controls to sink in as playing any involved tower defense type game on a Dualshock controller can be a little challenging (as you would expect) - but they've done a good job here. Invest the time and effort in this little game and it pays back big time - it's heaps of fun when you get to grips with the mechanics of it all. The graphics are simple yet decidedly crisp, the tutorial gets you started (but it's not excessively long at all). I strongly recommend this game for fans of the tower defense genre, it's addicting, fun and well worth the investment. Go for it, you'll enjoy this one!… Full Review »
