    Nice art style, decent content, decent sound.

    not the best tower defense game i've played, but it's still a decent pick up for fans of TD games. it's also simple enough for beginners.

    I haven't gotten to far in the game due to real life but it seems to have a good amount of content for fans of the genre.

    in short, not bad but not the best.

    This is a hidden gem in the Playstation store and boy it deserves some much needed recognition! 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.

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!… Expand

    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'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!… Expand

    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 forGreat tower defense style game. Brings back memories of playing Rampart as a teen.

And you will support this great little developer to produce more amazing games.… Expand

    Looks like Warcraft, plays like a standard TD game. The use of spells and placing your own troops is pretty neat. The AI seems, well...you can out smart it. That is the only real downside I've seen. The sandbox and survival should all add plenty more to do after completing the campaign. Unfortunately, I haven't unlocked that as it requires you to complete the campaign. Don't forget toLooks like Warcraft, plays like a standard TD game.

Don't forget to spend your currency for global upgrades. These can also be reallocated without losing anything if you would like. Trophies!… Expand

    The Castle Game has captivated me. The levels are varied and there are lots of weapons to use against some very tough opposition. Strategies must be adapted and adjusted as different types of enemies attack. Will be playing this for some time to come and with good reason, it's brilliant.

    The castle game is a pretty decent tower defence game that will keep fans of the genre for weeks because the game has a decently amount of content the cartoony graphics are mediocre in my opinion but thats no reason to not buy this game

    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.
