The Dark Castle game follows your journey as an adventurer who must enter the haunted house of the Black Knight to bring an end to his misery. You'll face 14 increasingly difficult zones, each with its own set of challenges and obstacles.
The gameplay is primarily side-viewed, with single screens that you'll need to navigate through while avoiding enemies that respawn constantly. Your trusty weapon, a rock, can be thrown through 360 degrees, adding a layer of realism and strategy to the game. The screens are linked by hub screens, which you can access by clicking on doors.
