Zen Studios - best known for the Pinball FX series - will be releasing CastleStorm on the Switch eShop next month. Arriving on 16th August, to be exact, it's easy-to-learn and difficult-to-master - with a tongue-in-cheek story filled with plenty of humour and personality.
The title was originally released on the Wii U eShop in 2013 and combines 2D physics destruction with tower-defense gameplay. You'll take on formidable foes like knights, soldiers, archers and griffins in castle verse castle combat. The Switch version will feature the original campaign and the two expansions - From Outcast to Savior and The Warrior Queen.
In terms of features, there are touchscreen controls, support for two players in local split screen and two online multiplayer co-op modes. The game will run in 60fps, support 1080p in docked mode and also utilise HD Rumble.
Take a look at the announcement trailer above, and tell us in the comments if you'll be picking this up on release.

Interesting game. With the incentive for local and online co-op, this could be a potiental buy.
i more interested in story mode length and price point now.
Another port from Wii U? In before at least half a dozen people complain.
I hope it sells well!
I wanted to like this game, but I found the multi-tasking annoying rather than fun
I wouldn’t double dip, but if you haven’t tried it out, this is a great game.
I've played this, and the game is completely generic. Gameplay and aesthetic are identical to that of a billion flash games on Newgrounds and such. It's by no means a bad game, but there is not one original idea here. If the idea appeals to you, go for it, but don't expect anything surprising.

"I wonder where Nintendo found those great ports."
not that i don't disagree. i think they found games as good ports.
I'm not a huge fan of tower defence, but I love this game. It's got a lot of character, plenty of length and offers a wide range of challenges for both noobs and experts.
@Aozz101x I have zero problems with ports. But I am used to seeing piles of angry comments whenever one pops up.
This just looks like a regular mobile strategy game, in my opinion. That trailer instantly reminded me of those ad videos that pop up in free-to-play games.
@G-Boy I played a game from this franchise in mobile a few years back. It was not as fun as it looked. I’ll easily pass on this one.
Well at least Zen gave us all the good features day one this time! 60 fps and 1080p.
Had this on the Wii U. It was a lot of fun
I LOVED this game on Wii U. I have missed it since selling the Wii U...I just might buy it again
@Agent721 agreed. Very cool game. Not worth a double dip, rather it is a reason to keep my Wii U.
@rockodoodle
Yup! Still rocking the Wii U!
