A game by Matt Kap for PC, originally released in 2015.
In the kingdom of Alexandria, the king falls ill, and the princess orders the royal guard to protect the castle. Suddenly, they find themselves under attack by fiendish creatures commanded by an evil sorcerer. All of the castle guard fall to these enemies, save one, a lone hero who is knocked unconscious and awakes to find the princess gone and the kingdom overrun by monsters. And so he sets out to destroy these beasts and rescue the princess.
Castle in the Darkness is heavily inspired by games in the Castlevania and Metroid series, with a dark tone, macabre enemies, and sprawling environments. The action is supported by RPG elements that allow the player to gain new abilities and more health, stronger weapons and armor, and a number of relics that act as passive buffs.
