'Castle in the Darkness' Gets Release Date - Trailer

by Rainier on Jan. 22, 2015 @ 9:21 a.m. PST

Castle in the Darkness is a retro action exploration platformer that recalls a golden, bygone era—both through its nostalgic aesthetic and its damning difficulty.

Traipse past traps, careen through corridors, and badger belligerent bosses while charting the erstwhile un-chartable Alexandrian kingdom and girding your loins and other important organs with a veritable cornucopia of armor, arms, and sorcery. Alexandria is a kingdom of ancient and byzantine history, and much of what it was yet remains hidden, often behind more substantial ramparts than mere mists of time!

Harken, heroes! Still your breath and you will hear: The gates of Alexandria begin to grind, and behind them the susurrus of a hundred thousand monsters waiting for your steel. Surely you won’t begrudge them a taste of your blade, and thereby free our kingdom from its torment!
