Return to Dark Castle

My God, the controls are nigh impossible.

It's as engaging and addictive as the original. Oi.

I never expected this one to get re-released and ported to other systems than the Mac. Definitely feels like a continuation of the original black-and-white games. Maybe you had to be there - the controls can be a bit frustrating at times - but so far it's everything I hoped it would be, so I like it.

Phenomenal action/precision platformer returns from the days of yore. Its reputation was unfortunately sullied by some poor ports, most infamously the Genesis version. Those who played the original Dark Castle and Beyond Dark Castle know how awesome those games really were. This version replicates the excellence of the Mac titles, along with all the old levels, updated graphics, new upgrades, mechanics, a replay feature, very helpful tutorial level, character customization, and even adds a boatload of new levels. This game is difficult, but gets easier quickly with practice and is incredibly satisfying to defeat. Highly recommended!

Expect a difficult challenge but the game is ultimately fair once you understand the movement patterns and obstacles. This was the original challenge on Macintosh. I have enjoyed this reboot a lot.

This is a great Game. There is nothing else I have seen like. Just go ahead and try it.

Having played the original Dark Castle as a young ruffian in the mid 1980s I was delighted to read about Return to Dark Castle's release this year. I'm still as terrible as I remember but am loving every minute of it. Thanks for the nostalgia and fondness that has clearly been poured into this version. Top marks!

I played this on my family's old Mac until I moved out and couldn't play anymore. I'm so so so happy this game won't be lost to history!!! Highly recommend, it's such a classic.
