Ghoul Castle 3D: Gold Edition Reviews

Honestly, it's hard to go wrong for $3. While Ghoul Castle isn't a perfect game, it's a fun and breezy first-person dungeon crawler that you can easily get through in just a few hours. If you're in the mood for some 3D nostalgia, this game delivers that in spades. The arcade-like design is charming, and the combat has a bit of nuance, which keeps things interesting. That said, there are areas where it could improve. I do wish there were more puzzle elements to break up the action, as well as more ways or reasons to spend gold during gameplay. In fact, I didn’t realize until after finishing the game that you actually need to go to the menu to spend your gold, which feels like a missed opportunity to integrate it more naturally into the gameplay loop. Overall, if you're craving some skeleton-bashing fun without spending much, Ghoul Castle offers solid entertainment for the price. It's simple, but it scratched the right itch for me.
