Defend Your Castle

The same flash/wiiware game from 10.... no, 15? years ago (man I'm getting old). Maybe it has some more content, I don't remember being able to upgrade the towers once you bought them in the flash version, It's been a while though, so I might not be remembering correctly! Great for nostalgia, but if you've never seen it before I'm not sure it would hold your attention versus more polished games on Steam. To play, fling the stick figures up in the air high enough so they die when they fall back to the ground. You can also smash them into the ground yourself, but it takes longer. You buy the ability to convert enemies to your side, and buy towers to train them as archers/wizards/masons/demolition people. The demolition people send out a single unit to sacrifice himself in an explosion, the rest of the professions will accumulate people as you train them. Some enemy units are too heavy to throw, so having archers or wizards is needed to kill them, unless you get lucky blowing up an enem...

I'm just glad this was saved from oblivion when wiishop went down

The game is disappointing for several reasons. - It's a huge CPU hog. - Snow and rain make the cursor very hard to see. - Manual action remains indispensable throughout the game, which means you'll eventually get a sore wrist. - It seems difficulty increases with the number of converts you have. This means replaying a level to farm credits is useless. - Lack of variation: only 4 types of enemies. - You get little or no reward for killing enemies by any other means than by hand. So, again, the need to kill enemies by hand persists thoughout the game.

I thought this would be like the original game but with new graphics. It's not. You get no points for Archer kills so you have to keep playing manually. The original paid version had dragons (IIRC) and I was hoping for those but apparently not. The graphics look like they've been changed to be deliberately worse than the original game. All in all, it is just bad. Would not recommend. Regret buying it in the first place.

I used to play this game all the time in middle school. It is a tower defense game where you throw the attackers to kill them. More enemies come later and they get stronger, from guys with battering rams to giants and catapults. You can upgrade the castle to get wizards, suicide bombers, repairmen, and best of all, archers. The whole game has a school theme and the enemies have button or bottlecap heads, everything is cardboard and string and it's all very cute. Overall, if you have an hour or two to kill, this is a very entertaining game to pass the time.

The game is good, when this was on the Wii it was shared screen co-op. I hope that they make this online co-op since shared screen might not work as well with this type of game.

You don't know true power until you pick up a stick man in the hit Wiiware game "Defend Your Castle" and forcefully slam his head into the ground and feel the vibration of his entire body imploding upon the force of the solid earth

The play for this game is very different from the original flash version, and in a way that I think it makes it much less interesting and engaging. I think the primary difference is that you don't get points for archer kills, which makes it essentially impossible to set up the castle defense to largely run itself. Even if you make it to fairly advanced levels, you're still going to need to sit at the screen and manually fling attackers if you want to keeping building the castle. Additionally, conversion of enemies to defenders is much slower, which makes the game drag a bit. In exchange the attackers are slower and less numerous, even to the point where this game is much easier to survive than the original (I played on normal level difficulty). I guess in summary if you just want to fling attackers around it's great, but for me a lot of the fun was transitioning from that approach in the early stages to having a well-managed castle fend for itself later on.

I loved this game as an infant when i would play on the wii, and im so glad its here on steam. So many memories with this game very fun, and challenging.

No Instructions. No Guide. Mobile Game. Use the mouse only it sems, Grab the heads of the people running towards the tower and throw them about like rag dolls and listen to them splat. After a few rounds you get these eye ball enemys that run towards the tower those to kill you need to make fall over by clicking on the body. The Stupid thing about this game is the way the game does things. IE, Once you have brought a Paint tin to put enemys in to fill up the blue blips which you get when you buy the blue paint tin. You have to then click on the flags of the towers that you have brought to take those blips or those converted enemys into that tower. However It doesnt seem to work. I had a tower with 3 towers made one of them should be making or healing your castle as well as shooting back at the enemy, But it seems according to one flag it sends out a converted enemy with a cog that blows up if you click on those from the enemy or your own castle. HOWEVER once you send out an ...
