Crossy Road Castle is the multiplayer, Apple Arcade sequel, tower climbing game featuring all your favourite characters from the smash hit mobile game Crossy Road by Hipster Whale. Ashleigh Starmer-Lee is the Lead Artist on the game and joined us to talk about her work process when designing characters for the game, working remotely and how her personal creative process is very different to how she works.

Some good ninja stuff, good samurai stuff, it took them a long time to get here but boy I'm glad they did.

Pros:
  • Naoe feels like the old assassins from previous games
  • Yasuke definitely doesn't, which is very welcome change
  • Absolutely stunning world that feels busy and lived in
Cons:
  • Maybe the world actually might be too big?
  • It's an evolution not a revolution, if you've bounced off Assassin's Creed in the past this doesn't break the mold.
