The town building sandbox game Astraea is heading to the PlayStation 4, Norwind Interactive has announced. The game is also listed for the PC on the Norwind website.
"Astraea is about giving players the freedom to design their own towns by allowing buildings/structures/objects to be constructed wherever the player would like," said Norwind Interactive programmer Brandyn Engbrecht. "When you’re not constructing your town, interact with the villagers to see their energy level and overall happiness, decorate your home, or even go shopping in the capital! In Astraea, both you and the villagers will be able to plant/harvest crops, raise farm animals, participate in activities and more. Relax in your town by spending the day fishing on a boat or docks, riding around on horseback, etc."
"Another unique feature of Astraea is the ability to create and play mini-games in your town. A few examples of mini-games are: archery, racing, and fishing tournaments. You can invite your friends to enter your town to compete and play these mini-games. Astraea was designed to be an open ended game, so don’t feel rushed when creating your town and let your imagination soar!"
Astraea will be playable at the Central Canada Comic Con from October 30th until November 1st.
