Ībylight maximized the 3D features of the console by working on all the elements of Cursed Castilla to give an immersive experience and feeling of depth. The rest of the graphics, sounds, path, and elements were obtained by their development team from the GameMaker data files.
#MALDITA CASTILLA EX VITA CODE#
In order to port Cursed Castilla to Nintendo 3DS in the most efficient time possible, Abylight used the C++ Code generated by GameMaker to export the native mode and linked it to their own compatible API. The original game was developed in GML, the programming language used in GameMaker, which supports PC, PS4, Xbox One, and mobile, but not Nintendo 3DS. Cursed Castilla extended edition includes brand new game stages, bosses, and enemies, as well as new songs from the original soundtrack and remastered audio. In 2016, Juan Antonio Becerra signed an agreement with Abylight Studios to bring Locomalito titles, including Maldita Castilla, to consoles. The chiptune music was composed by Gryzor87, who was able to bring the unique feeling of the Sega Genesis sound chip.
#MALDITA CASTILLA EX VITA FOR FREE#
The game can be downloaded for free from the website of its author, Juan Antonio Becerra, who uses the pseudonym "Locomalito". The audio of the game is meant to emulate the Yamaha YM2203 sound chip and there are effects to simulate the visual display of a Cathode-ray tube television. The original version of the game was released in December 2012 as a free download. The gameplay is inspired by the games Shinobi and Ghost and Goblins.

The game was inspired by Amadis of Gaul, a sixteenth-century Spanish chivalric romance. As the demons get to his comrades, however, Don Ramiro must fight alone to rescue them and bring peace to the land.Ĭastilla is Spanish for Castile (a place of historic significance in Spain), while maldita, meaning "cursed" (also meaning "damned" or "maledict"), is used as an exclamation of anger at times of difficulty or danger. King Alfonso VI of León orders Don Ramiro, Quesada, Don Diego, and Mendoza, to Tolomera to end the demonic nightmare that looms over the kingdom. The action takes place around the year 1081, when an ancient demon hears Moura's laments for her fallen love and uses her tears to create a magic key, which unleashes demons into the Kingdom of Castile. The player can get 15 unlockable achievements and go through 4 different endings.

The extended edition of Cursed Castilla features brand new content, including a total of 8 game stages, 48+ enemy types, and 19 final bosses. Each of the game's levels corresponds to an era of history, and each has four different endings that vary depending on the tasks performed by the player. ĭefeating the boss enables the player to advance to the next level. The original version of the game features six levels, 40 enemy types, and 4 bosses.
