An ancient demon takes advantage and uses Moura’s tears of sorrow to open a portal to Hades. Set in 11th century Spain, a witch by the name of Moura is mourning the death of her fallen lover. However, before getting too deep into the gameplay let’s quickly go over the plot. The controls in CC are much closer to Capcom’s superior sequel with more fluid gameplay, a larger arsenal of power ups, the ability to shoot up and down in addition to just the sides, and some of the stages are quite similar too. Many reviewers have compared ‘Cursed Castilla’ to Capcom’s previous title in the series ‘Ghosts and Goblins’, however I think that this does Cursed Castilla a disservice. It’s also just as difficult (if not harder). From the game’s look, theme, gameplay and controls, Cursed Castilla seems to be acting as an extremely competent clone / spiritual successor to ‘Ghouls and Ghosts’. Why bring this up? Well, because just like Cast of the Seven Godsends, Cursed Castilla is also a modern indie that was heavily inspired by ‘Ghouls and Ghosts’. The retro title I paired it with was Capcom’s sensational arcade classic ‘Ghouls and Ghosts’. This is a fun action platformer released in 2015 by Raven Travel Studios. Well, included on that list was a title named ‘Cast of the Seven Godsends (Redux)’. I paired Shovel Knight with Super Mario 3, The Binding of Isaac with The Legend of Zelda, Axiom Verge with Metroid, Stardew Valley with Harvest Moon etc. A few weeks ago I started writing a list of modern indie games and the equivalent retro counterparts that inspired them.
