Lost Castle / 失落城堡

KILL DEMONS

Lost Castle is a bite sized roguelite that is best experienced in coop. It’s very easy to go in and out without much commitment and in short sessions. So gameplay-wise it’s more of a side scrolling dungeon crawling beat em up with roguelite elements. You do start right from the beginning each time and lose all gear and stuff you had on previous runs. You also earn resources and unlock stuff that is transferred between runs and empower your character slightly. And beat em up part is displayed in fact that you go through rooms with a number of enemies that you have to defeat to progress further. Dungeon crawling is self evident from screenshots. What bosses you encounter during your run, what gear you start with and find is mostly rng, which invites replayability. Graphically title is very simple in every part - character designs, levels, only monsters are more detailed it seems, compared to others. It’s hard to say how will it weather passage of time looks-wise, cause there isn’t much now and style is not really outstanding. Audio is surprisingly fine - sounds and what’s more - music are quite fitting theme-wise for game and locations in it in particular. Not like they are awesomely made or anything, they are just like gameplay and looks, tailored to each other. Plot is definitely just put there to be present, it’s very simple - castle was taken over and your goal is to conquer it back, so you go through several locations to get to castle first and finally combat inside castle itself. So it’s not much, but as mentioned above - fun, short, simple and cheap coop experience that could be played solo, but better with somebody.
