If it’s old-school pixelated platforming you are after, look no further than Castle Walker.
Releasing today on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Desert Water Games’ Castle Walker pits you, in the shoes of a young up and coming mage, against the hordes of terrifying monsters that (of course) are bound to be haunting the halls of this mystical castle. It’s a story that is communicated without words, where you let your magical abilities do the talking.
Sound good? Check out our full review of Castle Walker to see how it plays.
With no sword in sight, it’s up to you to carefully conserve your mana in order to make use of a number of abilities, from the classic fireball-esque projectile, to the equally classic ‘magical orbs circling around your character’ move. All these, and more, must be mastered if you are to make it through the gothic skull-littered halls of the Castle on a Hill.
And that’s pretty much all there is to Castle Walker: simple, old-fashioned platforming in which your magical abilities are the true hero of the tale. If you fancy getting involved, then head on over to the Xbox Store where £4.19 is the entry price on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One.
