The Castle Game

None of this is to say that The Castle Game is bad. In fact it is quite good and can be easily recommended to specific players. For players new to the genre, this is an excellent, expertly crafted version of the tower defense. It is easy to learn and fun to master. It helps that each stage is crafted so that there is no “right way” to win, allowing flexibility and and well thought out personal choice win the day.

Of course, the game does suffer some notable setbacks. Most missions are fairly long with no save points and, after a while, those subpar visuals do begin to grate. These, combined with the unoriginal setting, give it little appeal outside of actual gameplay. Still, priced at around a tenner, The Castle Game is a fun slice of tower defence action that packs in decent amount of replay value.

Another way The Castle Game manages to avoid repetition is through how each level is configured, and the different obstacles and goals you have to achieve.
