    The Eternal Castle Remastered is the reason why the gaming industry has upgraded its adventure games. Sometimes a little bit of nostalgia is fine, but too much of everything is never good.

    graficamente encanto de antaño jugabilidad tosca echa a proposito recordando viejos tiempos musica atronadoramente encantadora como las de antes jajaj todo en este juego huele a antiguo, juegos que a estas alturas muy pocos disfrutaran y valoraran, a mi me engancho a acabarlo pero no lo rejugaria, bastante duro los movimientos para mi gusto, pero reconozco que tiene su encanto.

    A superficially charming but ultimately disappointing game:

    - the art and game design mimick the classic rotoscope adventures (Another world, Flashback...), however, it's much more of a shooter than an adventure - this is a great disappointment for me; - the art design is attractive and "retro-innovative", however it's excessive; in my perception, the imposed limit penalizes the    A superficially charming but ultimately disappointing game:

    - by having a very strictly old schools structure, it has slow and imprecise controls;
    - finally, I find extremely annoying (and confusing) when a game forces the player to use 6+ buttons, when it could comfortably do with half; Another World used one, and it didn't even have analogue controls!

    All in all, I'd say it's a myopic game, made by designers who did "retro for the retro's sake".    … Expand

    The Eternal Castle (Remastered) makes an art out of misguiding the player, hiding behind its limited colour pallet (based on the CGA technology) a very convincing homage to cult classics like Flashback or Another World. Fast paced action, stealth mechanics, and some puzzle elements make it varied and fun to play.

    The Eternal Castle [REMASTERED] try to demonstrate the current maturity of the videogame medium simply using a few modern tools in a structure inspired by the adventures of the 80s, playing with the player mind starting from the title.

    The Eternal Castle is a neat experience that prides itself on its unique aesthetic and interesting environments. Unfortunately, gameplay felt a bit dated, though, and left me with conflicted feelings. Overall, The Eternal Castle is undoubtedly a title that is definitely style over substance.
