To do this, its developers have separated the display type in two differentiated by the vision that we provide parts:
- The first one will be a screen TVAs if we were in a movie set in the game. From this area we will see everything about the menus and videos of history.
- The second is in full 3D optimized to play Virtual reality. How could it be otherwise, this part is the one that appears when we get fully into the game itself.
In this video you can you can see what we mean:
Gameplay
Its gameplay is based on defend and attackTaking several types of attacks, spells and units to do so. The main attack will be a crossbow with different types of ammunition, So much of the game will be based on physical.
Besides eliminating enemies with the crossbow, we can drop ground units to attack independently, as knights and archers or use magics which they will go charging over time to directly attack enemies or heal us.
We may also use a hero on the battlefield, having to individually control for a limited time.
Control
All this is managed in a simple way from the One Xbox controller Rift and you have in Gear VR, need one to play it correctly.
Virtual reality gives a feeling of being on the battlefield as a spectator, taking the camera on a fixed point on the stage (the action takes place on a 2D plane), but unlike the normal game will see more elements around.
Our view move the camera itself, Having to move it from side to side of the stage to see everything and control the enemy and our troops.
playability
Fun and entertainment that gives CastleStorm VR is the same as in its normal versions, Which is a safe bet if you like tower defense games.
Heaps of units, spells and different heroes, each troop possibility of improving or attack different types of scenery and enemies, creating castles ... are some of the features that will offer CastleStorm.
Sound and languages
The game has some voices in English (basically the characters make noises) but All texts are in Castilian, So there will be no problems in understanding everything, both types of weapon, missions, history, etc.
The sounds and music during the game will make us feel inside the battlefield, so without being the most salient point perfectly fulfills.
conclusion
- We recommend it if you like Tower Defense games with many screens, units and attacks and, especially, if you have not played CastleStorm on any other platform (unless you like it so much you want to repeat).
- We do not recommend if you've already played CastleStorm console or PC as normal, as this VR version does not bring anything new to previous versions.
It should destacad which is a shame the price difference between the two versionsBecause you are exactly same game ... You can download from the respective CastleStorm VR Oculus stores or through these links that we leave below:
