[dropcap]D[/dropcap]evelopers at Duck Block Games are working on an indie title that smacks of Symphony of the Night. They set a goal for $10000 and have since reached it, meaning Forsaken Castle will be coming to Steam. However, there are stretch goals for the game to make its way to PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Should the campaign receive $20000 and $35000 respectively, we will see this game come to consoles, as well. The game looks to be a love letter to SNES-era action-adventure platformers and anyone who’s interested can find a pre-Alpha demo download on the Kickstarter page.

Perhaps a boss or mini-boss?

Now, you’d be forgiven for thinking this just looks like Castlevania with anime girls. The developers explain on their campaign page that Forsaken Castle combines the aesthetics of Castlevania with the gameplay of Metroid. You can be the judge of that, however, as the demo seems to cover what we see in the trailer. That will help give players a good idea of whether or not they want to back this game.

Duck Block Games suggests that Forsaken Castle will be finished this year, citing a launch window of October 2017. Remember, though, that any unforeseen problems will likely set this back. If the game does reach its $35000 stretch goal, however; we will be eager to see how it fares on Nintendo’s new console.

Also, the trailer for the game can be seen below.
