About

Get ready to raze castles and conquer your rivals in CastleStorm VR, an exciting new take on the tower-defense action-RPG phenomenon! Experience CastleStorm, a super genre mashup of 2D physics destruction mashed with a tower defense brawler, in full VR that catapults you onto the battlefield. Throw yourself into the heat of battle as you pit knights, soldiers, archers and even griffins against formidable foes in castle vs. castle combat! CastleStorm VR takes full advantage of the PlayStation®VR and its amazingly immersive technical capabilities to place you directly onto the field of battle, where you’ll see, feel and hear every whizzing arrow, battle cry, horse gallop and ballista shot as though you are really in the midst of combat. Get medieval in a whole new way with CastleStorm VR!

    CastleStorm VR is the same game that was released a few years ago, but the new VR elements once you pop the PSVR headset on make it feel like new. The gameplay is addictive, the story enjoyable and while the graphics aren’t cutting edge, the game’s overall aesthetic is what pleases the most in this respect.

    CastleStorm VR is a relatively enjoyable game with an addictive loop, and it’s easy to lose hours to it. While I wish more was done on the VR side, it’s a solid addition to the game. It doesn’t do much to improve the lackluster story or repetitive gameplay, however. Addictive or not, some variety would not hurt at all.

    CastleStorm crops up everywhere, so chances are you’ve already played this game before. To be fair, the PlayStation VR version improves on what’s come before, by leveraging the technology to give you a better view of the battlefield before you. The game’s still a little overcomplicated for our tastes, but those who like multitasking may enjoy that aspect. And if you do, then the addictive reward loop and customisable castles will probably keep you hooked longer than you anticipate.

    CastleStorm VR is not a necessary VR release, but it is a fun one, showing the possibilities for traditionally non-VR titles on the platform. Head tracking works well, and playing the game feels like you are playing with a physical medieval play set. If you’ve played CastleStorm before, it may not be worth picking up again.

    Anche se non fa spalancare gli occhi con chissà quale funzionalità aggiuntiva dedicata alla realtà virtuale, CastleStorm VR permette di godere ancora di più di questo divertente titolo, per il quale il famigerato "ancora una partita e stacco" resta sempre in agguato. L'assenza di contenuti aggiuntivi e di particolari novità legate al visore ci porta però a sconsigliare l'acquisto se siete già in possesso della Definitive Edition per PlayStation 4.

    Applicare la realtà virtuale a un tower defense in 2.5D può sembrare quasi inutile e in effetti non aspettatevi chissà quale sconvolgimento sensoriale. Eppure CastleStorm VR aggiunge qualcosa in più al gioco originale grazie alla maggior vicinanza del giocatore allo svolgersi dell’azione e alla possibilità di sfruttare l’head tracking per osservare nel dettaglio i livelli di gioco.
