Castlestorm game modes revealed

Zen Studios newest title Castlestorm is inbound with plenty of multiplayer storming and sieging.

CastleStorm Multiplayer / Co-Op Modes

1 vs. 1 split-screen mode: simply try and beat your opponent by bashing in their castle. Choose your side (the noble Knights or the ragtag Vikings) and then choose your arsenal of weapons wisely. Face off, castle to castle and the first to completely demolish his or her opponent’s castle wins!

Survival Co-op: Two players team up to fight off waves of enemies together! Assign one player to control the ballista and the other to control ground forces. Good timing and great aim are essential in Survival Co-op as friendly fire could be harmful to your own troops on the ground.

Last Stand Co-op mode: Would you rather ditch the castle and do some hand-to-hand combat out in the battlefield? Check out the Last Stand Co-op mode where both players control a hero and battle wave after wave of enemies together! The object is to stay alive as long as you can, but remember, enemies can come from either side so be ready.

CastleStorm is being developed by Zen Studios, and published by Microsoft Game Studios on Xbox LIVE® Arcade.

It seems a little like a more interesting Angry Birds no? There certainly looks like there’s a lot more to do in the game with multiple modes focused on multi and single play. At any rate, Castlestorm is big, bright, and colorful; and it’s always nice to see something like that on today’s market.

It’s knights, it’s vikings- it’s Castlestorm. Bring out your dead and look for it soon on Xbox Live.
