Additionally, the graphics are just the right level of retro while at the same time being modern in approach and design.
Basically, when you screw up… it’s on you. Controls are snappy and responsive and leave little to no room for human error. Interesting, compelling stuff.Ī game of this type is only as good as it’s controls, and that’s where Maldita shines. Even the main plot is unique, at least as far as video games are concerned: when the fears of a witch form a key that open the gates of the underworld, it’s left up to you and a small band of knights to save the day. It all makes for an interesting and refreshing game play experience. Made by the small team at Locomalito, you can feel not only the love for old arcade games, but their culture as well. It’s a game that rips out conventional horror and fantasy mythology and replaces all of that with Spanish folklore. Maldita Castilla is a throwback 16-bit era homage side-scroller, complete with Sega Genesis sound chip effects and beautiful pixelated visuals. If it’s been a while since you’ve played a challenging 2D side-scroller, and you’ve had the itch for a good one, this might just be the game you’ve been waiting for.
Maldita Castilla aims for homage, and in several cases matches it’s inspiration beat for beat. For as influential and revered as Ghouls And Ghosts (or Ghosts And Goblins if you’re nasty) has been over the past two decades, it’s surprising how few homages and imitations of that classic title have been developed in all that time.
