The elements of storytelling that are here will not change your life, however, they will make you realize just how excellent the developer was at crafting a story within a level. I was pleasantly surprised, however, when about halfway through the game some major events occur that push the game into having a story that was quite worth uncovering. I felt like I was going area to area with no real cohesion other than the areas would start to blend into one another and once in a while, my main character would meet up with some of the other characters from the beginning of the game. The reason I thought there was not going to be a story was just because of the arcade feel to the game.

Not because the intro didn't introduce the world or anything of that sort because it does. STORYĪfter the first hour or so into the game I wasn't really sure if there was going to be a story to this game or not. Side note, the game has two names, I use Cursed Castilla when referring to it, as it is the technical name for the second release, but both Maldita Castilla EX and Cursed Castilla are correct titles. If you thought you were prepared to die, then think again, this is Cursed Castilla!Ĭursed Castillais available on Steam for $11.99. The difficulty is not lowered in this game, although it is easier than it's Capcom compatriot, due to unlimited continues and a healthy amount of checkpoints.

Inspired by the Ghost's and Goblins series from the 80's Castilla invokes a sense of nostalgia and just good feelings from the beginning. Maldita Castilla EX will have you cursing and praising its difficulty from the very beginning. From boss fights that will challenge your very soul, to perfectly timed platforming. I respect a game that forces you to learn the in's and out's of its gameplay. A video game is only difficult to those who aren't willing to learn, at least that is what Maldita Castilla EX, would have you believe.
