The Forgotten Castle

Nice little indie action game, with cool atmosphere, fun combat and just the right amount of souls influence. Definitely give it a shot!

Didn’t think I’d get this into it, but it really surprised me. The atmosphere is great, and that dark castle vibe makes you want to keep going from room to room. Combat is tough but fair, especially in the boss fights where you actually have to learn their patterns instead of just smashing the same button. It’s challenging in a good way. The pixel art looks awesome and the whole game has a lot of personality. You can tell the dev put real care into it. If you like indie games with some difficulty and exploration, this one’s definitely worth it.

It’s an action-adventure indie game with a pixel art style, a dark atmosphere and a challenging combat where you explore a castle full of secrets, enemies and puzzles. Recommended for those who enjoy games that aren’t easy and offer a real challenge.

A good short little zelda like adventure.

I just can't recommend. It is quite primitive, doesn't feel great to play, and has some issues. For example, the map has multiple floors but it doesn't tell you how they connect, making the map become useless at a certain point. I also encountered a minor bug with wall plaques not displaying. It doesn't really have a grasp of the player experience and there's a lot of frustration and friction points coming from its stiff controls and clear lack of experience and player feedback. I think the developer has potential, but this just feels like a high school project. I appreciated the puzzles and exploration, theres some ideas being explored here. But attention to detail, refinement, player testing, and experience would go a long long way. I ultimately bailed at about the 50% mark, as I realized I wasn't having fun and only continuing due to sunk cost fallacy. I will keep an eye out, I believe the dev could make something better in the future with this project under their belt if they take player feedback and refine refine refine. Study the games you love and compare it to yours - what is different? That kind of thing.

Unpolished, boring, and slow
