Publisher: Mirrorsoft · Developer: Three-Sixty Pacific · Genre: Platform

Dark Castle takes you into the dark realm of the Black Knight, who has plunged the land into misery. Only by entering his cursed castle and defeating him can peace be restored. As an adventurer, you face 14 increasingly difficult zones made up of single screens, connected by hub rooms with doors. Along the way you encounter ropes, cages, trapdoors, and numerous enemies that walk, fly, or hover – many of them respawn. Your weapon is rocks, which can be thrown freely in all directions, making combat tactical and precise.
