Whilst the flash version had simplistic stickmen and quick drawings for the rest, this iteration offers far more. Finally the D-pad is used to unleash your magic attacks on the unsuspecting enemy.ĭefend Your Castle on Wii along with the unique control system also comes with a radically new and improved artistic style. It makes allocating out your troops between the various stations easy and seamless. Aside from the throwing of enemies the game also uses the standard pointer based controls we have come to expect from Wii titles. There is no better feeling than flinging stickmen up in the air with a flick of the wiimote, it feels much more involving than mouse driven controls ever could. The game is made infinitely more fun and intuitive by the inclusion of motion controls. The first of these is an eraser which rubs out the stickmen's drawn bodies as their button heads tumble to fall, the more you allocate to this the turret the better the spells. The best is by far the Mage turret which allows for a wealth of spells to be unleashed on the unsuspecting enemies. The most simplistic of these is the Archery, whereby allocating more converts results in a higher rate of fire. The first upgrade is the pit of conversion which allows you to throw in stickmen and add them to your ranks, they can then be allocated to each of the castles various departments. As you progress through the game, points can be spent on improving the castle which will in turn help to make defending it that tiny bit easier. As the games ups the ante a variety of different enemies begin to appear, stickmen armed with lolly pops, bigger bottle top headed grunts and so on. Things are a bit laid back at first as you effortlessly fling away from the stickmen, but once you reach about Level 20 things step up and notch and the game really starts to become a challenge. You have to defend your kingdom by fighting off an onslaught of enemies. The basic premise of the game is exactly what the title says Defend Your Castle. So with all all this in mind the big question is whether this game is worth 500 points? The game has built up a very big fan base and avid following as well as leading to a flood of clones. XGen Studios originally released the game on their website as a freely available Flash game on in your web browser. Defend Your Castle is one such game that this very much applies to considering its origins. The advent of browser based gaming becoming a more prominent part of PC Gaming has led to simplistic free games becoming more readily available. Some of the games priced at the lowest current price point 500 points have the challenge of justifying the purchase whilst also admitting that the title is unlikely to be as fully fleshed out as the bigger titles. Whilst the likes of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King have the challenge of proving themselves worthy of the higher end prices, it is the bottom of the scale that things can be far more interesting. Wiiware so far is a service that has shown a wide variety of gaming experiences can be offered at affordable prices.
