The Page

This is a really nice game. Vesuvius Media Ltd has a very good brand going for this silly little game with the artwork and everything. And I call it little, but it’s not that little it’s more light. The game is just using the catapults to launch balls and knock down your opponents troops. This is going to fall into the category of games that will be fun every time they get pulled out, but might not get pulled out as often. But that’s getting into the game. The aesthetic of the game doesn’t hide the fact that it’s going to be light though.

The page is laid out well, and they have a lot to show off on it. I wish that some sections were easier to find, like stretch goals, pledge levels, and reviews. But they have so many images, it is just a really big page. And while it is all really cool, this is a page that would be great on Gamefound where there is navigation and hard on Kickstarter because there isn’t.

The Game

I’ve already said, this is a really light and silly game. I can imagine in two years or so playing with my toddler and really enjoying the game. It might be something even before playing it as a game we can just play around with it. Because it’s as much a toy as a game.

This game, like I said before, is going to be one that will be fun every time it is pulled out. I think that most people will find it that way because there isn’t a chance to strategize, it is just meant to be silly fun. It reminds me of PitchCar and Ice Cool like that. A downside is that it’s primarily a two player game. You can play with more if you get more sets, but I’ll be curious to see how that might work. I feel like it’ll be best at two players when you can fire straight on the enemies catsle.

Back or Brick

You might have an idea where I am leaning already, mainly because of Point of Order not too long ago. This is going to be a back for me. I haven’t even played the game yet, but I really want to. I might set it up and play solo, once the Christmas tree is down, and the room is a bit more open. I might even just build up a massive castle with all the pieces and just bombard it.

I also think that this is a game that won’t leave my collection, at least for a while, because of the toy factor. Even if I’m done with the game, as a game, eventually, this is going to be a toy that the toddler can play with. It is going to be so simple that the toddler can pull it out with a friend and play it as a game. And I can see spending a lot of time building cool castles and then blowing them up.

How about for you, is this game a back or brick?
