“*Was* The Eternal Castle an actual game? Who knows? The game we have is so good and stylish as a cinematic action/platformer that it's engaging enough without any potential playful tricks by the devs.”

Reviews

“The Eternal Castle [REMASTERED] is a neo-retro masterpiece”
9/10 – NintendoLife

“An unbelievable adventure soaked in lore and atmosphere, you’ll almost believe in the myth of The Eternal Castle yourself.”
9/10 – BONUSSTAGE

“This game isn't just evocative on the senses - it's a rending, powering assault on them, and, yes, it is difficult to play, but not only because it challenges your ability to play games, but because everything about it is so overwhelming in its excesses.”
5/5 – DigitallyDownloaded

About This Game



The Eternal Castle [REMASTERED] is an ambitious attempt to modernize an old classic in order to keep its memory alive. Through detailed research and hard work, the production team tried to expand the experience while keeping the same 'feel' and emotional flow of the original masterpiece from 1987.
