Castle of Heart: Retold is a second attempt to revive a title that didn’t succeed initially. While the team improved visuals and environment design, the core gameplay still suffers from repetition and shallowness. The health-draining challenges and curse add a unique idea, but execution falls short. The game suits those seeking a short platforming experience with simple mechanics, but isn’t for players looking for gameplay that evolves over time.
