Threes! Creator’s Close Castles Headed To PS4

A lot of gamers lost several hours to their phone thanks to the mathematic strategy game Threes! Now the creator, Asher Vollmer, is talking about releasing another simple, but likely addictive title inspired by RTS games called Close Castles. You won't have to play this game on your phone though; Close Castles is coming to PS4.

Asher Vollmer says he’s working to make Close Castles a minimalist strategy game that – on average – should last only about three minutes. Players build castles on a battlefield and then send out their citizens to tear down their opponents fortifications. Vollmer teamed up with Dominique Ferland to create the game’s adorable art.

Close Castles is built for local multiplayer, and is set for release on PC and PS4 (and possibly other consoles) sometime in 2015, so expect to hear more about this title soon.

If you loved Threes!, then watch Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov meet the designer of the hit mobile game at last year's E3.

Our Take
I liked Threes!, and I have a lot of friends who don't play a lot of games who still got hooked on Threes!, so I'm interested to see how Close Castles turns out. The premise sounds promising and I love the art.
