Slick Retro Style - The Eternal Castle [Remastered]
18The Eternal Castle is a beautiful art piece with bad gameplay attached to it. The controls are unresponsive and confusing. Combat often devolves into button mashing and it is often very hard to see what is actually happening. In the very least the game is easy enough to not have the terrible controls slow down your experience too much. The art is a beautiful mash of retro coloration and rotoscope animation. It can be hard on the eyes at times and has a couple of areas with excessively flashing lights that hurt and were a serious seizure risk. However, I found the overall aesthetics to be amazing. There is little to no story to the game, so do not look for that here. If you are looking for gameplay that is satisfying, I would recommend that you look elsewhere. The controls are far too bad for The Eternal Castle to be a satisfying play. However, if you are in it for the art of the game then this a good buy, especially on sale. I did not find that the gameplay hindered my appreciation of the visuals.
