Ghoul Castle 3D: Gold Edition

bought this game yesterday and i'm on the 4th level, so far. I'm having a great time playing it. i love the look and the sound. the pacing is steady and no hiccups. you can buy potions in the shop to take with you and you find better weapons throughout your journey into the dungeons. Great game.

A game about combat, has a very bad combat. You basically go forward attack and backward all the time, and/or attack and block. Also enemies do the same, which is weird, because they have less range. Also they can't use stairs it seems, because the first "boss" can be wrecked at the edge of the stairs, and so were the first rats. I will not downvote it though, since I can see some potential in here. It really is just the combat and AI, that needs some work. Sure the gameplay also is very basic, but it's fine for a 3 dollar game. And even if the dev isn't able to achieve this in this game, I'm sure in future projects he will improve his skills. Also, he doesn't ask for much, so it isn't a rip-off scam thing. Just early unexperienced work, I assume.

AWESOME GAME! MORE LEVELS!

eh

Honestly, it's hard to go wrong for $3. While Ghoul Castle isn't a perfect game, it's a fun and breezy first-person dungeon crawler that you can easily get through in just a few hours. If you're in the mood for some 3D nostalgia, this game delivers that in spades. The arcade-like design is charming, and the combat has a bit of nuance, which keeps things interesting. That said, there are areas where it could improve. I do wish there were more puzzle elements to break up the action, as well as more ways or reasons to spend gold during gameplay. In fact, I didn’t realize until after finishing the game that you actually need to go to the menu to spend your gold, which feels like a missed opportunity to integrate it more naturally into the gameplay loop. Overall, if you're craving some skeleton-bashing fun without spending much, Ghoul Castle offers solid entertainment for the price. It's simple, but it scratched the right itch for me.

As trivial as this game seems to be, for some odd reason I could not get myself to stop playing it.
