Forsaken Castle Demo

THIS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES THAT I HAVE EVER PLAYED

i also found a funny glitch were if you attack while sliding the sliding animation mostly gets cutout -edit when doing this under crawl spaces your slide speed and length is greatly reduced

My controller isn't working 

anyone know how to fix that but overall great game 

I don’t know if the game is still worked on since it’s been a few years since the last monthly update, but I can’t get passed the loading screen, it loads infinitely does anyone has a solution ?

Very nice game! Would love to see a full release sometime ^_^ 

Whatever happened with this game?
It's been years. I was excited for it! 8)

Super solid demo! Everythings real fun and the art for the main character is very rad. Lookin forward to see where this goes

This is literally a mashup of Castlevania and Metroid. Love it!

That art you made and her pose reminds me of H-Act "Unholy Sanctuary"

My suggestion is, make (many) enemy grab attacks, like monser Bearhug the main caracter or pin down, or if you know in Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap how the "Like-Like" or "Rupee-Like" grab their target, or how the ghost lick, etc

Keep it up

are This normal? I mean black

Can't wait for full release!

I'm not getting beyond the loading screen. I press a button, i hear a "whoosh" sound, and nothing else.

Is a good game! the stages are very well developed, the movements are executed well and the soundtrack is AMAZING! The only bad point would be the bosses since they do not present a challenge and it causes them a lot of damage but perhaps this will change in its final version, add subtitles in Spanish for all those who do not speak English activate them to read the translated texts, the game retains its original language.

Good game! Demo Complete Here

Overall game is great, I really like the graphics (it pays a lot of attention to the detail, and there is SO MUCH different sprite all around the game), and I really like the idea of the game, yet for metroidvania it lacks movement. I really want to see different dashes, maybe grapping hook, and lots of different abilities. example of what I wish to see is, ability to buy some kind of item, that would allow you to dash (as secondary weapon), you would do damage, gain invincibility and use up 1 mana.(that is quite expensive)
Another thing I quite did not like was the linear gameplay. Make it less linear with a lot of different trees to go, and search. After all we have a map, so we can go back without any big problem. This would give it more adventure style, and it would make me more happy to explore the game.
Also, I hope you will find use for shards (probably make a shop)

And the most important thing, The combat system is not good. I want to be able to use my weaponry in more directions. I don't know how do you make it work, yet I want to be able to choose direction of attack for all of the weapons. This would make the battle system less frustrating, yet extremely more fun.
Last thing I want to mention, It quite lacks story, and I would loved to see the storyline of the game go. If you are able, add some fun details and stuff, and this game will become INSANE.
I really like the project, and if I will be able to support it, I might try. I want to see this game become a winner of indie game 2021, or 2022. It would be really fun to see this game become on of the best.
I know it might take a lot of work, and result in burnout, but it extremely worth it.

cool

For a Castlevania-inspired game the game feels very light in mobility including being able to choose the direction of the jumps in the air which is strange when I expected a movement that felt heavier, the attacks themselves I think they are missing something so that they feel more solid. I think it has potential and could be a good introduction to the metroidvania genre, although the beginning of this type of game is always simple, so I am curious as to how it would develop in more advanced stages where difficulty becomes a relevant aspect. .

Very good, impressively polished but lacking in depth. Looking forward to more.

The game is very enjoyable. It has very good graphics and excellent gameplay, although I do not like the combat very much, I still feel it is worth it, I give it 4 stars, just because I did not like the combat very much, but I know that in the metroidvania that type of combat is the normal. In summary a very good game.

Looks very good. Think I've seen it somwhere except here on Itch.

Downloading right now

really awesome demo. has the chops to be a great game. it's a shame that it won't see the light of day for a long time, if at all.

played the demo, can't wait for the full game!

that was great!

a spanish translation please

Quite enjoyable. I hope you keep working on this. This reminded me quite a lot of the old Castlevania series, as well as the newer Bloodstained Ritual of the Night. Managed to complete the demo in about 20 minutes. Might even have to record it at some point.

I'm sorry, I wanted to enjoy this I really did, but you need a better control scheme or at least allow us to remap to sensible controls! (why can't I remap left/right movement?)

I went to the menu to change the controls, the options slided to the right and are no longer visible. The worst is that I pressed some keys and probably changed the jump control, because now there isn't a key that will make the character jump. Also i have problems when i try to click on exit game on the menu because nothing happens. I'm attaching a screen, I'm running it on mac...

This is impressing me so far - the soundtrack is fantastic, and really adds to the experience.

Nice little homage to the Castlevania franchise. It's also a dope thing to see the hearts being used for the character's health, which makes me think of Zelda when I look up at them. The only issue I have is not being able to destroy enemy projectiles with the whip - which I hope would be considered at some point in development. May the game's development reach completion sometime in this year of 2020.

So far, I'm rather enjoying this game: it feels fun to play, and the controls, while a bit out of my usual experience, work well enough I think. ^_^

That said, on my machine at least, the game doesn't seem to save: using a save-point claims that a save has been made, but on restarting the game I only see apparently-unused save-slots. :/

I'm also seeing some minor graphical glitching near the bottom of the screen; nothing that seriously hinders play, but enough to be noticeable.

In case it helps, I'm using a dual-monitor setup, and my system specs are as follows:

OS: Ubuntu Linux 18.04.4

Laptop; Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series
CPU: Core i7 2.4GHz (4-core)
Memory: 8GB
Graphics: GeForce 840M, 2GB (+Intel integrated

This game is really cool and it controls fantastically!! If you wanna check out my play of it ill leave it here, Great job This game is amazing.. very mega-man and castlevania eske.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgN5pHRf23U
