Crush the Castle

It has often amazed me the particular games that seize the gaming world’s attention and game play hours. Some of the concepts within certain games can seem extremely random, and yet are an absolute hit. What amazes me more is how everyone, no exception, is taken in by these concepts, due to the fact that they are truly addictive. Crush the Castle is certainly one of those types of games.

Similar to a variety of other games we see now, with the goal being to eliminate particular enemies in fortified structures, using whatever materials are to hand (be it grenades, birds, or in this case: catapults), Crush the Castle was one of the first games to pioneer this particular concept, and it has worked brilliantly.

Originally starting out online on certain flash game websites, the transition to the iOS and the iPad/iPhone has been seamless, allowing fans of the internet game to take a portable version with them wherever they go, all for free.

It seems that the most addictive part of the Crush the Castle game is the puzzles and the thinking involved. It is so much more that simply destroying things in front of you, there is a great deal of thinking and planning involved in order to get the best score possible. And it is this aspect that truly makes such a simple idea as crushing a castle stand out.
