Aug 17, 2020If you are an old of point and click adventures then you will find a lot to of charm and enjoyment in Darkestville Castle. Just don't expect the second coming of Monkey Island.

Sep 11, 2020Traditional point & click gameplay with a healthy dose of trial-and-error... Darkestville Castle is definitely worth playing. Its funny story alone should be experienced. At times, though, the game's a bit too clumsy in its execution to warrant a higher score.

Aug 23, 2020Darkestville Castle is an appreciative, well-paced effort that should keep fans of adventure games happy. Whilst the puzzles can involve a lot of legwork and some oddball solutions, you're encouraged in the right directions and the world isn't expansive enough to get lost in. The structure feels tight and the writing is nicely executed, despite some of the visuals underwhelming.

Aug 18, 2020Though lacking some of the flair and longevity of its classically inspired genre brethren, Darkestville Castle nonetheless provides an enjoyable dollop of point and click adventuring by swapping out the usual fresh-faced hero for a sarcastic and high amusing viliain. This is one for genre newcomers and stalwarts alike.

Aug 26, 2020Darkestville Castle is an overdose of nostalgia and pointing and clicking. It is far from being a remarkable production, but it can be fun for the fans of the genre. It presents no challenges, but it can fill a rainy afternoon when you need a quick and easy way to improve your mood.
-
Sep 1, 2020An enjoyable graphic adventure heavily inspired by the great classics of the past, with a light-hearted approach to storytelling and plenty of puzzles to solve. It's not a new masterpiece but it can provide hours of entertainment for all the fans of old school adventure games.

Sep 9, 2020For content starved fans of the classic point and click adventure, it's hard not to get excited about a new entry in the genre, particularly one whose visuals inspire a feel good nostalgic hit for all things LucasArts. Dig a little deeper though and you'll find this is an underwhelming imitator of the legends of yesteryear. Too many obscure puzzles and too many unfunny jokes prevent Darkestville Castle from being the Secret of Monkey Island successor it so obsessively wants to be.
