About This Game

One dark and gloomy night, the kingdom of Alexandria is attacked by an evil sorcerer and his army of darkness! Despite their best efforts to protect their king and their princess, the royal guard falls, one-by-one, to the forces of evil. One knight, unconscious but still alive, awakens on the throne room floor to find that the princess is nowhere to be seen! What's more, the entire city had been overrun by monsters! With sword in hand, he embarks on a death-defying mission to find his princess and to restore peace to the kingdom!

  • A game by Matt Kap, the lead artist behind The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
  • A large world heavily inspired by the golden era of video games
  • Level up your knight with wildly different abilities
  • An arsenal of over 100 weapons, armor, items and magic to collect and use!
  • Over 50 bosses to find and slay
  • More than 100 different enemies
  • Fast-paced chiptune soundtrack

Castle In The Darkness is a fun and challenging shout out to the early days of video games! It's an action exploration platformer with some RPG elements, much like games from the Castlevania or Metroid series. It's super fast-paced, challenging, and full of secrets!

Gameplay is difficult and save points can be very unforgiving. Requires near pixel perfect movement and timing, but hitboxes are consistent so it doesn't feel unfair. Definitely gives retro 2D platforming (for my fellow dusty, aged peers). As a potential added bonus, it keeps your butthole nice and tight with the sustained puckering. According to a friend.
