About

After an affair King Lucas had with the Witch of Sausan, the Queen left him and remarried in an adjacent kingdom, and now his daughters are the only ones left at his side. Due to his love for them, each and every time they get lost in the castle, he moves heaven and earth to get them back and he only resorts to the most intrepid knights in order to find them. Will you be one of those knights?

Play for the favour of King Lucas and the three princesses' love. A castle will be randomly built and you must find them inside a little area of it. You can move horizontally and vertically through the rooms until you reach your goal. Once you succeed, the castle will become a little bit more difficult: a larger area will be unlocked... and the experience will become more hardcore when the princess becomes lost inside a fully unlocked castle with more than 1,000 rooms.

Features:

  • Get money and buy upgrades such us compasses and crystal balls, more weapons such us magical sticks and swords, or harder shields to protect yourself from the giant spiders, the armored rats, the piranhas and the many other haunted beings in the castle.

  • Enroll for collective multiplayer searches where you will be able to compete with your friends or with other unknown players. It’s simple: one princess, one winner... the first to find her.

  • Talk and interact with a lot of NPCs who will play different funny and unexpected roles through your quest (yes, there's some hidden story underneath the arcade!).

We absolutely love retro gaming and this has been engrained in King Lucas's DNA. This is a metroidvania game with 2.5D graphics and classic game mechanics for the delight of platform, action and adventure games lovers as well as you who didn't live the 80's and 90's; this is an opportunity for you to taste a bit of that classic feeling with the graphics and sound quality of today.

King Lucas' castle is made up of hundreds of interconnected rooms, which are reconfigured every time a new search begins. These rooms have been hand designed one by one (we don´t use procedural level design!) and there's no two equal gameplays. Lava pits, water tunnels, ladders, traps... this castle has become a deadly place since the queen left.

King Lucas reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Spain
In What I have played so far I liked, I had difficulties at first to run the game, but the developers of it are very friendly and helped me solve the problem quickly. I Met the game in a video game development course at Unity and decided to try it out to learn more about the mechanics and capabilities that Unity provides for this. I really liked its gameplay, I remember the arcades before, has good graphics and I really like the mechanics of increasing the number of rooms in the castle as they are fulfilling the missions entrusted and change the location of them. Another great success of the game is the difficulty, as we go further into the castle and as the rescue missions progress of the princesses, the enemies tend to be stronger, not only in health, but in attack, for which we must help the Money rec Ogido to buy things in the store and improve our character. The only thing I did not like is that the NPC mention another NPC that I have not met before in the castle and the main character speaks of the second as if you already know. I Quote a particular case, I spoke several times with León (I think it was Lion or not sure) and I mentioned Rosa, who apparently is a girl who is in the castle, but so far I have not seen it once, however the main character speaks of Rosa C Omo If I knew her forever. I Recommend the game for all those lovers of 2D arcades as this game have to take advantage of a good time. As soon as I try the online mode I will be counting as I thought.

Pros and Cons: PROS:-Good soundtrack-Good atmosphere-NPC that make the game not so repetitive-the more you advance more life have the bugs because of this you have to go changing the sword-Good color palette, sometimes the levels are more tetricos and sometimes stop CEN Rainbow. -You're going to spend your sword, but you buy the blacksmith's most expensive sword, sooner or later is going to break, that adds + difficulty to the game. -Umoristicos Touches and winks, I love the jokes or funny comments of the NPC that you are finding, for example in one of the first missions, the King calls you ' ' Little Padawan ' ' or something, this takes a smile and prompts you to continue playing. CONS:-The story is not combincente, the subject I like but it lacks desire. -As I said in the pros the bugs are becoming more complicated, but for example the slime to make it with more life changed the color, I mean to make them with more life change it the Frma, not the color, as they did with the ciclope. -Faltán More NPC, this I don't consider as a negative point, it's more like a suggestion: I would remove the potions from the witch or give them a minor cure and add a healer with potions of greater healing, or you swords that every time you kill a enem IGO gives you a life or something. -This is not going to change but I put it as a detail, the fight is very simple, clikear all the time, except with the final bosses that is more tactical, but I would like more than when you buy the shield you can defend from the blows with the left click or something like that co Mo Dark Souls. Easy? This game is not a dark souls, much less, but has parts that seemed complicated. But something I don't like is the artificial intelligence of the enemies. It would be good to hear you, or to chase you a little. The Truth is that the game left me satisfied, I do not regret having bought it, much less with the 25% discount they made;). I will doi you a 7.9/10 and recommend it for any lover of retro 2D platform games. Pruevenlo, any computer runs it, they won't regret it! (I am aware that I changed my analysis and about 3 times but the more I play, more things I find out, and surely voi to change again with the new Actualizasiones) A hug from ARG!!!
