‘Forsaken Castle’ Kickstarter: 16-Bit Platformer Possibly Coming To Nintendo Switch, PS4

“Forsaken Castle” is a 16-bit style, action exploration platformer that’s inspired by the classic metroidvania games. Founded by Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based Duck Block Games, this game follows the adventure of a paladin as she fights against evil and goes on a journey to investigate the appearance of the undead in the village of Atoh.

Players who love the retro pixel art style of the games from the yesteryears will enjoy this 16-bit style platformer. While this is slated for release on Windows, Mac OS and Linux systems, the developer has also made it clear that it is possibly coming to the Nintendo Switch and the PlayStation 4 consoles with enough crowdfunding support.

In this single-player game, players assume the role of a paladin named Lily. She is actually a newbie who is full of determination to prove herself as a capable paladin of her order. When she’s assigned to investigate the mystery behind the appearance of the undead in a nearby village, she eagerly sets off sans knowing of the evil forces she’s about to face when she finds her way to an old castle.

“Forsaken Castle” is an SNES inspired video game that comes with simple yet entertaining features. The handcrafted pixel art castle houses dungeons and catacombs that are rife with traps, secrets and various puzzles. The game also features challenging battles, epic bosses and multiple endings. Another feature that players will like pertains to the magic that the protagonist will obtain throughout her journey. Certain items and spells will maker her become stronger and also help her reach new areas. Lastly, Duck Block is promising “Castlevania” visual aesthetics.
