Lost Castle 2 is a new beat-em-up rogue-lite from Hunter Studios that they were kind enough to send me. As always I like to get that out of the way upfront and let everyone know I appreciate it.
Lost Castle 2 Currently has mixed reviews on Steam, most of which are simply complaining about the lack of couch co-op. I get it because the game is built for co-op, but I find it a bit ridiculous to bash a game based on what’s not in the game when it was never promised to be in it. I pointed this out early because if you loved the first one because of that feature, it isn’t in this one.
The game itself is quite simple and has a nice loop to it. Pick a starting weapon, which you can limit to your favorite three or just get any of them at random. Go kill enemies and pick your path as you go. Then you either finish the run or die which gets you money either way. Then you can spend that money to upgrade your camp and get new items, better character starting stats, and many other things. Then just repeat it.
The game is fun and the combat engaging. Each weapon comes with its own special and charged movies and has different variations to find. Some will shoot out extra fireballs, others will poison the enemy, and much more. The armor is equally diverse with each one offering a different look or abilities.
This is actually my only real complaint. Your look changes with the armor and some of it looks so great id prefer I just looked like that. The ability to set an armor as your default look would be great, We are only in early access so that may very well be an upcoming feature. We will have to wait and see.
I can absolutely say this game is worth picking up. For $15 the replay value and fun alone make this a must-buy. Easily an 8/10 experience. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
