Mood for an action-RPG morsel, remember Castle in the Darkness 2. Axe throwing, damage indicator.

A game by Matt Kap for PC, originally released in 2015.In the kingdom of Alexandria, the king falls ill, and the princess orders the royal guard to protect the castle. Suddenly, they find themselves under attack by fiendish creatures commanded by an evil sorcerer. All of the castle guard fall to these enemies, save one, a lone hero who is knocked unconscious and awakes to find the princess gone and the kingdom overrun by monsters. And so he sets out to destroy these beasts and rescue the princess. The game world is indeed large, certainly on par with the 2D entries in the aforementioned series, but it is structured quite differently. Rather than tightly-packed interlinked rooms, Castle in the Darkness offers a largely linear left-to-right world, with a number of branches that lead out from the main path. While there are some new abilities to be gained, exploration and backtracking generally reward the player with better equipment, giving him an advantage when taking on the game’s wide assortment of enemies and dozens of bosses.

Games that offer large worlds with branching paths usually supplement the experience with a metroidvania-style map showing which areas have been explored and where to find important things like warps and save points. But that is not the case here. Often, a key or new powerup is found a great distance away from the spot where it must be used, placing the burden on the player to recall the layout of the world and its many branching paths. Warp points help to alleviate this somewhat, but even these are spread far apart, requiring a great deal of on-foot travel between locales. The knight begins the game with a minimal moveset. He comes equipped with a 2.5x variable jump and a short-range sword attack, and he is not able to walk and swing his sword simultaneously, but he is able to jump and strike. His movement speed is quite fast when compared to other games of this sort, which makes it easy to traverse large environments but somewhat difficult to line up landings on narrow platforms.

The knight’s speed occasionally gets him into trouble when crossing screen transitions, as it’s easy to walk straight into an enemy and take damage, or worse, walk into a pit of spikes and be killed instantly. Screen transitions are unusually problematic, and this appears to be due to the fact that the game is rendering entire areas and then chopping them up into smaller sections. When walking off the right side of the screen, the camera snaps over from left to right to reveal the new area, and the opposite is true when walking from right-to-left.

However, the camera’s starting point is not always calibrated correctly, leading to situations where the player transitions onto a screen and the camera starts out a couple of screens away and then jarringly snaps over to the correct screen. Save point design is a bit strange on its own, as reaching a save statue allows the player to press UP to instantly save his game or press DOWN to access his inventory. However, the statue has a recharge time between uses, meaning that the player can equip a new weapon and exit the menu, and then has to wait a couple of seconds before he is given the option to save.

Another interface oddity is the fact that there doesn’t appear to be an in-game method of pausing the game. Clicking outside the game window will pause the action, and the player may press “P” to unpause, but pressing “P” while playing does not pause the game. Even more difficult to notice are stalactites, which are also quite small and often placed individually. Falling stalactites are a common obstacle in video games, but seldom are they presented as 1-hit kill objects when the player has a life bar.

But here, they are the same as spikes, killing the player instantly when making contact except for the ones in the caves. In a bit of design inconsistency, falling stalactites in the cave area just remove a bit of the player’s health, but as soon as the player leaves the area, all other stalactites kill him instantly. In later areas, crumbling blocks are frequently placed over spike pits, requiring quick movement to navigate, and a ready eye to spot them. There are two types of crumbling blocks. The first are the traditional variety that crack when the player lands on them and give him a second to react. The second type crumbles instantly when touched, requiring that the player hold down the JUMP button to bounce upward a bit often in an attempt to land on another crumbling block before making it to solid ground. There are numerous secret passages and optional side paths available to delight the explorative gamer, often leading to optional boss encounters and new equipment.

The open world design allows the player to return to any previously-visited location whenever he likes. Once the player has access to more powerful equipment, he can breeze quickly through earlier sections of the game. There are even some areas that require advanced techniques to reach, such as using the knockback from an enemy in order to reach a higher ledge.

Fighting enemies rewards the player with coins, and enemies respawn on screen transitions, allowing them to be farmed, although there are only a handful of items that actually require currency to purchase. Still, exploration sometimes leads to caches of coins rather than specific equipment, and paintings in the background often hint at actions the player can perform to gain these rewards. Getting killed also leads to some additional rewards, as a number of unlockables open up (including previous demo versions of the game) as the player reaches certain death count thresholds.
