WHAT THIS GAME IS

• An action-adventure puzzle-platformer that pushed the limits of the genre.

• A larger, nonlinear quest filled with scrolling environments, mazes, weapons, hidden routes and five magical orbs

• More slapstick character animation and dark humor

• Bombs to blast through barriers and copter packs to master

The Black Knight survived, and Duncan’s quest gets bigger, stranger, and more dangerous. Beyond Dark Castle expands the original cult classic into a deeper action-adventure, with new rooms, new hazards, new tools, and a far more ambitious castle to conquer.

Collect the magic orbs, master the fireball and shield, and push through towers, catacombs, swamps, breweries, labyrinths, and the Black Knight’s final defenses. The challenge is still precise and unforgiving, but the adventure is broader, richer, and even more satisfying to master.

For retro collectors, precision-platforming fans, and players who appreciate games from the era before hand-holding, Beyond Dark Castle delivers a hard-earned classic sequel. It is funny, punishing, inventive, and built for players who enjoy the climb.
