The simulator game Castle Renovator has finally made its way to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. On October 7, Ultimate Games S.A. released the PlayStation version of Castle Flipper under the new name "Castle Renovator."
The PlayStation launch came a year after the publication of its original game. Castle Flipper started as a flip simulator game for PCs.
(We are) responsible for preparing the game for release and publishing it on PlayStation 4,
the developers said. Because of the console's backward compatibility feature, the title also runs on PlayStation 5,
they added.
The Polish publisher also said the medieval-themed simulator game would hit Xbox consoles soon. But they have yet to provide further details on this.
Executives at Ultimate Games S.A. stated that the game's rebranding was designed to give players more creative freedom.
"Castle Renovator is a title that offers calm and relaxing gameplay,"
said COO Rafal Jelonek. With a new name, Jelonek also said they aimed to provide many hours of good entertainment. What makes the title stand out is not only its theme, but also the freedom it offers when it comes to creating and destroying buildings,"
he added.
Like in the original title, players in Castle Renovator become craftsmen tasked with rebuilding and renovating medieval structures. Both the main gameplay and free-form modes remain in Castle Renovator. From carrying out orders to creating their own settlements.
PlayStation players can also access period themes such as the Middle Ages, Baroque, and Renaissance. They can explore other locations like barns and pirate ships. Pyramid Games, also a Poland-based game creator, developed Castle Flipper. It rolled out in 2021. Castle Flipper received mixed reviews on Steam.
Gamers praised it for its beautiful graphics as well as its wide building area. But, they criticized it for "numerous technical glitches," saying these destroyed the entire gaming experience.
