Our take on Mystery Castle
The store copy frames Mystery Castle as an exceptional puzzle game, while its concrete structure is a 180-stage adventure across five castles. The central appeal is a mix of environmental puzzles, fantasy hazards, transformations, and comic characters.
What is Mystery Castle?
Guide Monty the Wizard through 180 puzzle stages across five castles.
Explore concealed routes and deal with lava, ice, fire golems, deep gaps, huge creatures, and the Eye-Spy, whose look can petrify him. Monty can take different forms: become a troll for lifting weighty items, a bat for flying over wide chasms, or a frog for entering narrow openings. Potions reduce his size, and taking control of a nearby ghost can provide a way past the Eye-Spy. Use a magical lantern to uncover routes and bombs to open passages or attack giant monsters. The journey also features treasure seekers, portals, dwarfs, eskimos, wizards, golems, and other fantastical beings.
