Fuck this game. Fuck it. I loved this game right up until the final boss. The final boss is 100% pure unmitigated bullshit in co-op. Fuck this game. There are attack that you CANNOT AVOID as a specific character. Can't swap characters in co-op. Also, the absolute genius on a dev decided you can't unlock achievements in co-op. This game is, in co-op, totally unbeatable and a broken mess of bullshit. Cheating in achievements to counter the dev's stupid idea of achievements. Blacklisted the dev to never see his trash again. This game sucks and I regret spending eight bucks and six and a half hours of my life on this.

This retro game is a loving tribute to an MSX2 masterpiece from Francisco Téllez de Meneses, the creator of UnMetal, Ghost 1.0, and UnEpic.

In years past, the Dark Priest invaded the kingdom of Greek. Two brave heroes entered the cursed Castle Greek and defeated the evil within. Now, nearly 40 years later, a new evil power has arisen, and armies of undead ravage the lands. Pampas and Selene—the children of those heroes' past—take up their parents’ mantle and enter the ancient, ruined Castle Mogdoss to put an end to this new terrible threat.

User Reviews
Very polished. Worthy of the game it's based on!
This game started off strong. It had a lot of promise (aside from the really annoying thing that is not being able to get achievements in co-op) That aspect makes zero sense. The second half of the game becomes so unbearably frustrating that it was almost like you should've only played it in solo. Co-op just doesn't work at times and some dungeons and bosses are strictly for one character so the other one just stands around hoping to maybe be able to contribute. The final boss fight was so bad that me and my friend gave up on finishing the game because there's lovely mechanics that aren't really taught but need to be googled instead and it just wasn't worth our time at this point. I really really enjoyed the first few hours of the game, but the rest of the time was enough for me to never want to suggest this game to anyone.
