Castle In The Darkness is a fun and challenging shout out to the early days of video games! It's an action exploration platformer with some RPG elements, much like games from the Castlevania or Metroid series. It's super fast-paced, challenging, and full of secrets!

Tough and Rough Around the Edges
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version

This game's platforming can be really tough in certain sections! Filled with classic game references and fun in a nostalgic way.

My biggest issues are:

  1. The bosses get boring while you whittle away their seemingly massive health bars. Little did I know I missed spells that they would be weak to. But those also trivialize some of the bosses.. better than getting bored I guess.

  2. The steam achievements weren't working for a few of them, really disappointing after beating the game and completing some of the harder challenges.
