Like many classic arcade titles, Cursed Castilla can be tough and unforgiving, practically demanding that players learn enemy patterns if they want to succeed. Given the general difficulty of the game, these power-ups will come in handy. From rapid-fire scythes to magical boots that allow for double jumping, there’s an option in his arsenal that should work for just about anybody.

Sure, Don Ramiro doesn’t wind up in his underwear every time he gets hit, but the basic platforming and controls are much the same. This setup to Cursed Castilla (Maldita Castilla EX) is a tribute to arcade games of old, and in this particular case, anyone familiar with Ghosts ‘n Goblins will have a pretty good handle on how it plays already. What’s poor Don Ramiro to do but head on over at the behest of the king and lay waste to all the devilish bastards that stand in his way?

He’s now known as Don Ramiro, beard-sporting protagonist of Cursed Castilla and undoubtedly the sexiest, bravest knight in all the land. For one, he’s not called Arthur any more.

LOW The ‘five keys’ requirement is an unappreciated sucker punch. HIGH Teaming up with AI friends for an unexpected cart ride.
