The clouds of war are gathering on Xbox LIVE® Arcade as the
spring release of CastleStorm draws ever closer. CastleStorm is a
2D real-time strategy physics-based destruction game from the
developers of
Pinball FX2.
CastleStorm is packed full of multiplayer and co-op modes for
players to enjoy with the awesome Xbox LIVE® Arcade community.
Featuring three multiplayer / co-op modes, each playable in local
split screen or online multiplayer. Players will be able to use
their own custom made castles created in the Castle Editor in
online multiplayer battles!
Zen Studios has released a video showcasing multiplayer
gameplay, and can be linked from the Zen Studios
YouTube Channel, or downloaded from the Zen
Studios
Press Center.
Multiplayer progression is totally separate from the single
player campaign, allowing players the opportunity to level up and
gain experience separate from the single player campaign.
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.
About CastleStorm

Building castles and knocking them down has never been so much fun!
