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!

I know reviewing a 10 year old game is a bit pointless, but let's go anyways.
This game does a lot of things right. I love the artstyle, it has nice concepts, sadly the end result isn't for me.
The game's hard, but not in a way that would make it enjoyable for me.
It is hard because it is simple, without much wiggle room, not because it is trying to be hard. For example, attacking with your sword roots you in place for quite a long time.
Moving and jumping feels like a small indie game - which it is - but that still doesn't make it feel any better.

Kind of reminiscent of Faxandu for the NES. The game includes a lot of easter eggs, tipping the hat to games like Zelda and Metroid. There's also a lot of cheap deaths and the bosses can be tough if you're impatient. Like I was...
Needed to fiddle with the joy.cpl file to be able to use my XBOX controller, and it also made Spotify spas out and change song at every other enemy. The sound effects and music was horrible, that's why I instead try to listen to Spotify...
Only recommended if you're a hardcore retro fan of the adventure platformers of late 80s early 90s
