I know that games have been hard in the past, look at the Souls series. The biggest issue with this whole game is just how darned hard it is and how it hides its story behind that difficulty. These things I quickly ignored because I knew that this game was supposed to be hard. My biggest gripe with this game is not about how the story is hidden behind this macabre wall, or even how some of the game parts feel cheap because of certain gameplay elements that are thrown in. Not because the story is sad, but because you suddenly realize just how good at this game you have to get. This is no more evident than when you think you have beaten the game and then you see the true goal that you are trying to achieve in the game, and then you weep. You may just think you are a little guy who jumps and kills enemies (no not Mario! COME ON!), but you play a much bigger part in the story that this game is telling. From the designs of bosses names to the levels themselves, everything has a story to tell. The elements of storytelling that are here will not change your life, however, they will make you realize just how excellent the developer was at crafting a story within a level. I was pleasantly surprised, however, when about halfway through the game some major events occur that push the game into having a story that was quite worth uncovering. I felt like I was going area to area with no real cohesion other than the areas would start to blend into one another and once in a while, my main character would meet up with some of the other characters from the beginning of the game. The reason I thought there was not going to be a story was just because of the arcade feel to the game. Not because the intro didn't introduce the world or anything of that sort because it does. STORYĪfter the first hour or so into the game I wasn't really sure if there was going to be a story to this game or not. Side note, the game has two names, I use Cursed Castilla when referring to it, as it is the technical name for the second release, but both Maldita Castilla EX and Cursed Castilla are correct titles. If you thought you were prepared to die, then think again, this is Cursed Castilla!Ĭursed Castillais available on Steam for $11.99. The difficulty is not lowered in this game, although it is easier than it's Capcom compatriot, due to unlimited continues and a healthy amount of checkpoints. Inspired by the Ghost's and Goblins series from the 80's Castilla invokes a sense of nostalgia and just good feelings from the beginning. Maldita Castilla EX will have you cursing and praising its difficulty from the very beginning. From boss fights that will challenge your very soul, to perfectly timed platforming.
