CASTLE OF HEART, available exclusively for Nintendo Switch™, is a
classic action platformer at the genre's best… and most challenging,
with plentiful of new twists on formula to experience. The players take
control over a cursed knight, turned to stone by the evil sorcerer's
spell, but ready to prove that love and courage can conquer even the
darkest magic.
The brave hero must travel all the way from the petrified village to the
dark ruler's castle, mastering 20 levels set in 4 distinct environments
– full of enemies who require different strategies to face them
successfully and sudden gameplay changes, which translate to exciting,
dynamic action sequences. The selection of progressively more powerful
additional weapons, from flaming grenades to powerful magical arsenal,
as well as power-ups, will help him in his quest. But remember – the
body of stone has its limits! It disintegrates permanently as the knight
loses the energy, which he can supply only by defeating his enemies, and
if the process reaches the critical level, he may lose one of his arms
and the ability to wield additional weapons with it.
Castle of Heart offers beautiful and detailed 3D graphics with changing
landscape, weather conditions and rich backgrounds. The game's
aesthetics and bestiary are in equal parts inspired by the Slavic
mythology – with some locations derived straight from famous, mystical
locations in Poland, the developers' home country – and the dark fantasy
atmosphere of the best action platformer titles from the golden age of
the genre. All of this makes Castle of Heart a perfect mix of classic
influences and modern approach, utilizing the spectrum of Nintendo
Switch™ features, which will enchant both fans of the genre and
newcomers.
