Michael Kitchin writes, "Darkestville Castle is an appreciative, well-paced effort that should keep fans of adventure games happy. Whilst the puzzles can involve a lot of legwork and some oddball solutions, you're encouraged in the right directions and the world isn't expansive enough to get lost in. The structure feels tight and the writing is nicely executed, despite some of the visuals underwhelming."
XBA says: Darkestville Castle should be played by any classic 90's point-and-click adventure fan.
From TheSixthAxis: "For content starved fans of the classic point and click adventure, it's hard not to get excited about a new entry in the genre, particularly one whose visuals inspire a feel good nostalgic hit for all things LucasArts. Dig a little deeper though and you'll find this is an underwhelming imitator of the legends of yesteryear. Too many obscure puzzles and too many unfunny jokes prevent Darkestville Castle from being the Secret of Monkey Island successor it so obsessively wants to be."
COG writes: In this classic ‘90s inspired point-and-click adventure you play as the demon Cid, who torments the citizens of Darkestville. Granted, we are really talking about silly pranks. Nonetheless, Cid catches the eye of demon hunters. Will Cid be banished to the demon world, or will he find a way to out wit his pursuers?
Love this game, I just played it on Xbox One a week back and played it again on iOS for fun. Cannot recommend it enough!
