Thanks to Pinball FX3, we have a rough idea of what we’ll be giving a fixed version of Castlestorm. It’ll, at minimum, sweep positive ratings and carry a scoring average of 3.5 out of 5. They have got to fix this one because it’s a keeper.

Unfortunately, at this time we have to declare Castlestorm to be a broken table. The Sky Falls ramp rejects shots that are dead solid on track, with no consistency for why the ball does or doesn’t complete the ramp. The ball seems to be catching on where the dragon will eventually spawn as it turns the corner, eating up all its speed. Sometimes it happens. Sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s not tied at all to anything a player is doing or not. It does the “Wile E. Coyote running into an Acme Slingshot” thing where it just stops and is fired back at players. If they fix this, Castlestorm has a clean scorecard coming its way, but until then..
