$9.99CastleStorm Sheep, Spells and Collapsing Castles
CastleStorm is knights vs. Vikings with collapsing towers and flying sheep. Aim the ballista, send out swordsmen and donkey riders, drop spells, then jump in as a hero yourself. For co-op friends it means shared panic: split the jobs, hold the line together, or settle it in split-screen 1 vs. 1.

Split the battlefield with a friend
Survival co-op gives you a clear division of labor. One of you works the ballista, picking shots and timing explosive bolts, Morningstars, apple grenades and homing eagles. The other manages ground troops and keeps enemies away from the gates. You watch your side crumble while your friend shouts for covering fire, then you swap roles and realize their job was harder. Last Stand co-op drops you both in as heroes against endless waves, side by side.
Knock down physics-built castles
Every castle is built block by block, and every block can fall. A good ballista hit takes out a load-bearing wall, the tower above tips slowly, and soldiers scatter underneath it. You decide where to aim: troops marching in, the flag room, or the structure holding it all up. Spells and hero charges cover you when the timing slips. It is colorful and comical, with knights, Vikings, Sir Gareth and a stolen gem as the excuse, and destruction that stays satisfying even when your plan does not.
Settle it head to head
When teamwork runs its course, the 1 vs. 1 split-screen mode lets co-op friends face off. You each build and defend a castle, manage resources, spawn troops, fire the ballista and cast spells in real time. Victory can come from capturing the flag, flattening the enemy castle or finishing the level objective, so you pick your route. Matches stay short and readable, which makes rematches easy. Loser rebuilds the castle, in theory.
Good to know before you team up?
How does co-op actually work?
In Survival co-op, two players defend together against waves, with one on the ballista and the other on ground forces. Both modes support local and online play.
Can you play it solo?
Yes. There is a story-driven solo campaign following Sir Gareth against the Vikings, plus solo survival and skirmish-style battles. Co-op is an extra way to play, not the only way.
Do you build your own castle?
Yes. The castle editor lets you place rooms and walls yourself, and those choices decide which troops and resources you get in battle. Put the useful rooms behind thick walls, because your friend in versus mode already knows where they are.
What do you actually fire from the ballista?
Bolts plus a strange armory that includes Morningstars, apple grenades, homing eagles and flying sheep, alongside ground troops like swordsmen, knights and donkey riders, and spells for rough moments.
