    This game is all I remember arcades to be, just awesome gameplay from second 1. It drives a straight line to memory lane, but then it delivers higher on results and expectations. Sometimes I felt cheated by my memory on how awesome something was when re-doing it as an adult; however Maldita Castilla EX takes all that is good and updates it to what I can appreciate today.

    This game is a pure arcade. Adventure, action and quick response from the gamepad. Strongly recommended! If you miss those old school vibe ones, this is your choice.

    Maldita Castilla EX is exceptionally good and made with care and attention, as well as the utmost respect for the games that inspired it. It is also one of the best old school platformers around, not just because it is addictive, challenging, and enjoyable to play, but because it brings back so many memories of playing games like this in the arcade times.

    Rara vez un juego tributo logra superar al original, en este caso Ghost N Gobblins, con sus mecánicas de juego tan adictivas, su banda sonora bien compuesta, su dificultad desafiante sin volverse injusta y su historia sencilla pero que logra un gran trabajo. El único punto malo es su escasa durabilidad, pero de lo adictivo que es te dará por jugarlo una y otra vez.

    Maldita Castilla EX: Cursed Castile is very much a love letter that will satisfy people who yearn for the good ol’ days of arcade games; however, it carries with it the same kind of content, blemishes and all. There are no bugs or crippling design choices that ruin the game, but there’s little incentive to play it more than once unless you’re truly enraptured by the initial experience.

    Maldita Castilla EX succeeds at taking Locomalito´s work to a whole new world. Polished gameplay, packed with some awesome music and visually resplendent to the games of yesteryear, it´s a retro gamer´s dream come true, but also a game that will satisfy gamers who seek for a challenge.

    One of the best Ghost'n Goblins-style gaming experiences created by one single person, Locomalito, who comes to Xbox One with a lot of improvements. The best retro-style game of today.
