I picture they’re the product of a development meeting full of passive-aggressive types with no alpha-male to make the final decision. “Let’s do a RTS!” “No, a brawler!” “No, shooter!” “Tower defense!” And then whoever is in charge just sheepishly says “whatever, just do them all.” Often, those games turn out to be fairly mediocre. Jack of all trades, master of jack shit, or something like that. And thus with CastleStorm skepticism bells were ringing in my ears like someone had strapped me to a gong and smacked it with a wrecking ball.” […]

Thanks! By the way, the reason the game doesn’t fit neatly into any genre is that we didn’t want the game to be defined by its genre, but by its concept. So instead of “castlestorm is a (insert genres here) game,” we wanted it to be “castlestorm is a game about castle vs castle battles.” And we just picked various mechanics that we thought would best bring that concept to life, regardless of genre.
