There are four separate campaigns featured in the game, all set in slightly different points of time, with the last being, "The Warrior Queen".

Reception

Шаблон:Video game reviews CastleStorm received "generally favorable" reviews, while CastleStorm: Definitive Edition received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[20][21][22][23][24][25] It was praised for physics, visuals, and real-time strategy, but was criticized for a repetitive storyline and pointless missions. IGN favorably compared the title to Angry Birds while criticizing its overly sensitive controls.[26] Push Square commented on the VR version of the game, stating that its overcomplicated nature lent itself well to those who liked multitasking.[27]

Pinball adaptation

As the developer of the Zen Pinball series, Zen Studios also developed its own virtual pinball adaptation of CastleStorm and released it as part of the Iron and Steel pack for Zen Pinball 2, Pinball FX 2 and Pinball FX 3 in early 2015.[28] This table omits blood from the game due to censorship reasons and features 3-D animated figures of Sir Gareth and various Viking enemies, and is played entirely from Sir Gareth's perspective, with modes focusing on attack or defense against the Vikings, as well as celebrations in between battles.
