About Castle of no Escape 2

Prepare yourself for the dangers of the cursed castle! Countless heroes have tried and failed to destroy the ancient spell that holds its walls. Meanwhile, hundreds of monsters are roaming inside, guarding the sword shards — the last known thing to be capable of defeating the demonic castle owner, thus shattering its magical structure.
Although, you are not alone — some help could be obtained from the merchants, who, for reasons not truly understood, offer their services right inside the lair of evil. Though, it seems to be only a matter of time for them to disappear...
Explore 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 rooms of randomly generated hazards and enemies while collecting the necessary artefacts. Plan your next step carefully, because save points aren't a thing in a rogue-lite game! There is, however, another option, explained below.
FEATURES
Battle System: Every character is different, try them all! Perform the Agile attack when you're in a pinch. Use armor and shields to your advantage and boost armor stats using the emblems.
PAL/NTSC modes: If the game feels too unforgiving, you can tone down the difficulty, lowering the framerate to 50 (PAL). Note, though, that music and sounds become more evil at the 83% of their original pitch.
Password System: Just like in an old NES game, in this game you need to input 13 characters to get back to your game session. Still, the powers of evil prevent you from saving anything much more than the artefacts you've found...
Unfold the mystery: Defeat minibosses to unlock more playable characters.

Castle of no Escape 2 is a retro dungeon crawler that feels completely dedicated to recreating the harsh and mysterious atmosphere of old-school fantasy games from the 8-bit era. From the moment the game begins, it becomes obvious that modern conveniences and accessibility were never part of the design philosophy. Instead, the game embraces brutal difficulty, cryptic mechanics, limited guidance, and constant danger in a way that feels intentionally nostalgic. For players who enjoy classic roguelikes and unforgiving dungeon exploration, this commitment to retro design creates a surprisingly addictive experience. For others, the same qualities may feel frustratingly outdated and unnecessarily punishing. The game places players inside a cursed castle filled with monsters, traps, hidden rooms, merchants, and dangerous bosses. The objective revolves around collecting magical sword fragments powerful enough to defeat the evil ruler hidden deep within the dungeon. Each run takes place inside procedurally generated floors that constantly rearrange room layouts, enemy placement, and item locations, ensuring that no two attempts feel completely identical. Exploration quickly becomes tense b…3 found this helpful
it's a wonderful challenging game. It's worth your time and then some. I finished ConE(the first one) and i'm still having difficulties with this one. I'm not sure why it says only 8 hours played, when i've been playing it for longer than that.
[h1]Opressive dungeon crawling experience much like Zelda, but if the devs hated you.[/h1] It invokes that very same feeling from Contra, where loosing was generally YOUR fault. Of course, it may be very difficult and the manual clearly lacks information on purpose, but you will eventually learn what things do with time. When people say it's unbalanced, they are generally just saying it's a generally hard game and wanted it to be easier, when being hard is the whole purpose of the experience.
even if is a free, the game is not worth the time. Unbalanced mess.
