Maldita Castilla EX - Developed by Locomalito & Gryzor87
0Castilla is an engrossing experience in its own right, however. One need look no further for depth than at the sheer number of enemies in the game – so many that LNG created a "Bestiary" specifically for this remaster (#humbleBrag). In total, there are "48+" types of enemies (so, 49?), and they are 48+ different kinds of ugly, just like GNG (with the final boss in particular being one ugly mother). The grotesque imagery combined with the moments of occasional bullet hell risks overwhelming the player at times, but the artistic and thematic one-voicing just holds it all together. The visuals don't straddle the wanton anarchy of 1990's website design as heavily as those of Black Tiger, but they're not too far removed from it, either.
As of December 2016, 100% of the Steam reviews are positive. Add my review to the pile. Cursed Castilla is, objectively speaking, a good game, even if you are not a fan of the genre. I would recommend one thing, however, much to the chagrin of OPNoobs Executive Producer Shane Gamez: play this game with a controller. "That's one of the things that really pisses me off… If I'm on a PC…" fumed Shane, "…I want my keyboard, I want my mouse," chimed Fred (Brizzi), capping off Shane's sentiment.
