    I have noticed a lot of crashes on the 4s even with a reboot, anyone else noticing this? Possibly the graphics may need to be lowered but it could be just version 1 issues.

    Had this for my vita.

    Sold the vita in January and have been very sad because I missed Castlestorm!

    (Enjoying my xbox one in the vitas place though :)


    Anyhow, this version is every bit of the vita version, just amazing!

    Looks like all three of the dlc packs from the vita/ps3/360 are available right now as well!

    No doubt one of my favorite games ever made, like playing 3 games at the same time!

    I just need enough gems to unlock those 3 dlcs. You can earn enough just playing though or no?

    I wonder if this will ever get multiplayer or additional updates. Will buy VIP if so

    I'm fairly certain worldcitizen1919 enjoys bitching about iOS games exponentially more than he enjoys playing them.

    Same problem for me. I'm on an iPhone 4s as well and it crashes so often that I cannot get past the first level, because if it crashes it doesn't save progress and you have to start over. I've done that first level about 4 times now and I think I'll just wait for an update.

    Thank God I'm not the only one with the issue, thought my device was broken or something. I'm able to only play one level at a time before it crashes but the game doesn't even lag that bad which surprises me.

    In spite of all the excellence I refer to in my post above, the controls could probably use some work. Selecting projectiles does not always feel as responsible as I would like, and the hero melee controls are rather clumsy and inexact.

    Keeps getting better. Just trying to get enough stars to open new campaigns. As I've already said the artwork is fantastic. Replay value is good. Get it. It's the best game in a list of crappy games.

    Does anyone know if this offers some kind of skirmish mode or similar?
    This game seems to have the right ingredients for plenty of replay value, but right now at the start it looks like 3-starring story quests "only".

    I can confirm that you can unlock the extra levels by playing. Just unlocked the viking levels.

    If I had realised the amount of variety in this game after playing the xbox demo I probably would have bought it! Paid for the VIP bundle on this to reward the devs.

    Absolutely cracking game

    Maybe you were able to unlock the viking campaign because of the VIP pack you purchased..

    Starting tonight I can't get anything to start it freezes and reboots every time I try to start a game. Wonder if it's just me? I don't have problems with anything else. Wait and see I guess. It has played fine until tonight.

    Nope....I havent used ANY of my gems (even those earned in-game).

    When you complete the final level on the campaign it unlocks the viking one (the story follows on).

    Really??? That´s awesome news! :)
    Was thinking about buying the VIP pack, but saw that i won´t get enough diamonds to buy even a single expansion straight away.

    Does some sort of skirmish or survival unlock after the first "chapter"?
