User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
This is a wonderful hidden gem of title, upon first glance the game leads to many confusing questions. The developers are unheard of, the publishers have only published like 8 games ever and the game itself has a confusing title. Despite saying remastered you will find there is no such thing as the original. So what gives? I'm honestly not sure, but the game is so peculiar that it serves as an excellent love letter to the classic motion animated platformers from the past such as prince of persia. The short experience this game provides to the player will have you feeling nostalgic for a past that never existed and I think if any other large team worked on this game it would have been compromised on so many levels. Yet the small "outsider" indie team that made this beautiful love child, created a concise and elegant experience I think anyone can enjoy. I see many reviewers saying the controls are clunky but the controls never bothered me personally, if you are worried about it then buy the game, give it a shot, and if its unbearable then refund it. I'm willing to bet you will enjoy yourself and be left wanting a similar experience that no other game can provide.

Pretty sweet Another World type platformer. They did a really good job within the extreme limitations on graphics they set for themselves. Some remarkable imagery despite a palette of 4 colors and pre-DOS pixel resolution. You can burn through it in probably 2-3 hours. Has some frustrating combat sections but by and large feels good to play. It's also much more forgiving than those older heavy momentum games. Still, it would behoove you to learn and make use of the walk button your first playthrough.

Developed for an audience of roughly 9 people, I seriously can't believe this game exists. Between the crisp animations, great setpieces and the expected unforgiving difficulty typical for cinematic platformer, I sure am glad this game exists though.

God I have such fond memories of playing the original with my dad back in '87 two years before I was born. They somehow managed to keep everything authentic while running on modern hardware. True game preservation like this needs to become the norm.

It's funny that this game bills itself as "remastered"—not because it's an original game masquerading as a remaster, which is true—but because it inverts what a remaster is supposed to do. The typical remaster takes the bones of an older game and does an up-rez on the graphics, plus maybe shaves off some of the clunky controls and/or gameplay elements that fall short of table stakes for a modern game. What The Eternal Castle remaster does, by contrast, is to take an essentially modern, cinematic platformer and present it through 2-bit CGA graphics; then layer on the clunky (by modern standards) controls of the original Prince of Persia or Another World. The modern nature of the game shines through when you realize that the screen transitions—as you walk from the edge of one screen into the other edge of the next screen—are purely a camera translation in The Eternal Castle. Whereas no CGA-era game lets you shoot from one screen over at enemies on another screen, simply because there wasn't enough RAM to keep the whole world in memory. Or take gameplay. General purpose stamina bars weren't popularized until the Souls games, which is long, long after the CGA-era. Health regen too is a much more recent innovation. Even the graphics—which to the game's credit stay honest to the CGA color palette—pull tricks with character detail and transitions that would be way beyond the CPU cycles available to a CGA-era game. More than anything else, perhaps what makes The Eternal Castle a thoroughly modern game is that you could consider it to be a 🚶 simulator. Even Another World, the cinematic classic that this game draws heavy inspiration from, felt the need to add challenging sequences (sometimes annoyingly so by modern standards) because that's what everyone thought games were supposed to do. That's not to say that The Eternal Castle doesn't have combat, and traps, and boss fights, like those old games. However, the game doesn't expect you to have to memorize extended sequences or build your skills as a player to finish the game. Merely retrying once or twice should get you past any obstacle. It's a tricky game to recommend, because the audience for whom The Eternal Castle will land is so narrow. If you weren't there at the time, it's hard to imagine you getting past the clunky controls and learning to parse the pixelated noise that used to pass for graphics. But if you were there (or you wish you were there) this game offers a heady nostalgia trip to what might have been possible back in the day if an auteur the likes of Éric Chahi or Jordan Mechner had found an even more inspired muse. I do wonder what was in the water in Italy at the time. If you like this game, go check out the band called Master Boot Record.
