Building off of last week - we have round two of Throwback Thursday, and this time the first video/Let's Play which you can check out here (and below).
The Castle Game is a RTS-lite fantasy game from Neptune Interactive. Originally planned to also release on Wii U, and Steam, it only graced the PlayStation 4 but was one of my favourite games from 2015. I really enjoyed the colours, the sounds, and the kind of laid back approach it took to the genre. It's not hardcore, and the concepts are simple - which was perfect for someone who was never much of an RTS fan.
The first video for Throw Back Thursday is here! Every Thursday we're going to do a video on a game that may of fallen off gamers minds. If you have a suggestion, let me know on Twitter!

The Castle Game posted a respectable 68 on Metacritic, and was helped by our good friends at Clapfoot Studios, the makers of Fortified, and Foxhole. You can get it on PlayStation 4 right here (and btw it's a fairly easy platinum). Until next time!
