Good but unlikely to beat the full game unless you look it up on the internet.

Oct. 2024

A fantastic Ghosts n Goblins like game.

Aug. 2024

Honestly, this is a pretty damn good, if simple, side scroller. It's one of those retro-throwback titles that doesn't stop at a few obvious homages to its inspiration that is "Ghosts and Goblins", but actually has some edgy and goes above and beyond, having a pretty dark story and setting, great music, an overall serious tone, and a lot of creativity with its monsters and levels. I would personally say it's far too difficult. This is one of those games where continuing after dying is painful, because you lose a lot of powerups, basically making the game more difficult for players who aren't perfect. It doesn't help that a lot of achievements and even the best endings ask you to meet difficult requirements along the way, turning this into an enduring chore that you might need a guide for rather than something you can pick up and play. 7/10 - As far as throwbacks go, this is much better than, say, "Blazing Chrome", simply because it takes its inspiration and itself seriously, and goes further in many ones to become more of a re-imagining. But it's pretty difficult to the point that it might be a turn off to players like me who don't like hard games.

Ghouls and Ghosts lives on in this game. This Dev has a good handle on what made the classics, classics and breathes their own life into the canvas as well. Give it a go.

Great game. I've beaten the original trilogy of Ghosts 'N Goblins games, as well as the recent GNG Resurrection and fangame Ghosts 'N Demons, and this game clearly draws from that original trilogy. In terms of difficulty, I'd put it about on par with the easiest game in the GNG series, Ghouls 'N Ghosts. It's certainly a challenge and very unforgiving at times, but it's not as hard as Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts or the original Ghosts 'N Goblins. In particular, it seems like Castilla draws from the second game (Ghouls 'N Ghosts) the most out of the trilogy, mimicking Arthur's ability to throw up and down, using some sound effects that sound very similar, and using similar level themes. I should make it clear though: anybody not accustomed to the GNG series will have much more of a challenge with this game than I did. I finished the game for the first time using 19 continues and it took me about 2 hours, however I definitely want to go back and get the other two endings as well as find all the secrets.
