Brimming with a host of hand drawn, humorous characters and environments that embrace retro action with modern twists.

Video Chums
By A.J. MaciejewskiEven though Lost Castle features simple and typical gameplay, its multiplayer implementation and variety make it worthwhile.
Geeks Under Grace
By Johnathan FloydIf you're looking for an extreme challenge with no payoff, you found it in Lost Castle.
SwitchRPG
By Mike LubinskiAmidst an ever-increasing pile of roguelikes on the Nintendo Switch comes Lost Castle. A new-to-Switch title that boasts 150+ weapons, 80+ items, randomly generated everything, and four-player co-op. Sadly, it almost feels like I’ve heard all of this before.
Nindie Spotlight
By Justin NationAs a huge fan of both beat-em-ups and roguelikes this game is a bit like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup game for me, mixing things up to create a challenging and surprisingly varied package...

By Sarah MarchantIf roguelikes are your cup of tea, you probably won’t find much gripe with Lost Castle. Seeing all the characters you could possibly be is enjoyable, and working through your skill tree feels rewarding, but the grind and repetition of much of the gameplay make you question whether it’s worth the hours.
