Bought the VIP pack to support the dev. Glad to see a good game with modern graphic amist a flood of pixel graphic games lately.
Crashes at times on ipod 5 too. But still great game. Yeh it's a bit annoying but it's too good to bother me. Doesn't take that long to load anyway! Do you want to know how to block ads for free and save on battery power? TURN YOUR WIFI OFF!
Maybe it's to early but I've played the first 7 levels and still don't know how to get to the equipment/upgrade screen so i can upgrade some of my arrows, magic, etc. Only time i can get to that screen is right before a level when the game asks me if i want to spend some of my coin from time to time.
Epic game but crashes constantly on my 4S. Will rate after the first patch, but currently 5/5 for the game and 0/5 for the stability.
Had one of those "aha" moment last night when I finally figured out how to beat the dragon (Dragrith) after trying for about 1 hr. Fun stuff.
You know what's not fun? Getting 147 / 150 stars and being completely unable to purchase the remaining upgrades of that chapter with in-game currency. Also, you cannot get 3 stars in one mission without the sheep projectile. The problem? It's only unlocked via gems, like the griffin and much more, which I figured would become available for non-gem purchase by the end of the chapter. They were not. And finally, you are capped in upgrading everything beyond a certain point and must use gems from then on. Utter fail. Stay away everyone. Can't believe I wasted the $5 on VIP.
It's unfortunate that one can't buy some top tier items using gold. I did purchase a few items with gem with half off coupon, like the dragon and fireball just for fun (they are not needed to progress, just not 3 stars for certain stages). Still I think my $5 VIP is well spent for this much content. Afterall this is a freemium title.
Anyone managed to get the 'shoot 100 projectiles' star on the early direwolves level? Even with shooting frenzies, I can't do it.... Any tips?
I did it with 4 projectile slots, equipped with items with the shortest cool down time (jav, jav burst, morning star, tri stone), then just keep launching them whenever they became available. Also got the Fight in the Shade achievement in the same try.
Annoying though the principle might be, CastleStorm alleviates partly this by bestowing gems upon the player throughout the game. I haven't send a dollar on gems so far, and have access to most of the gem-exclusive units, with a few upgrade levels on some of them. It seems to me that purchasing the exclusive units is definitively within the reach of a free player, but upgrading them beyond level 2 och 3 might be the true issue.
Anyone else not receiving the 100gems at 7th daily log in? I believe since the recent update, it hasn't registered for me anymore....
I only got it the first time and after that varying amounts of gems via the daily log-in. Have never updated since soft-launch and am logging in daily since then. I always thought it was a one-time bonus.
