Your king summons you, player. The Devil has used the tears of a young witch as a magical key to enter this land, o brave knight, and his hellspawn and evil creatures are ravaging Tolomera del Rey. It happened once in Xbox One. It happened again in Steam. And now the Kingdom needs you and your holy blade, for it is about to happen one more time in Playstation 4…

Press release:
Cursed Castilla, the most addictive platformer since you ran out of quarters in your favorite arcade, will be released on Playstation 4 this December 16th for $ 11,99 / € 11,99. Cursed Castilla is Abylight and Locomalito’s extended version of the original Maldita Castilla, a modern classic inspired by legendary games such as Ghosts’n’Goblins. Its PS4 version will keep all the features that made critics and players crown it as one of the best games in 2016 (Metacritic Score / Steam score).

In Cursed Castilla you become Don Ramiro in order to fight the evil invading the lands of Tolomera, following the orders of the king Alfonso VI of Castilla. The action takes place in the Kingdom of Castilla (a medieval kingdom in what is today Spain), and thus you won’t face the typical, well, ghosts and goblins: your enemies will be creatures such as mouras, ojáncanos and nuberus, monsters from the European folklore and legends, as well as from chivalric romances such as Amadís de Gaula.

Cursed Castilla is inspired by the classic arcades from the 80s (Ghosts’n’Goblins, Shinobi, Tyger Road…): a straightforward entertainment which challenges the player in every stage, with unforgettable chiptune music and an addictive and intuitive gameplay.

ABOUT LOCOMALITO
