Liked Castle Oblivion 3? Check out the Remake of the original Castle Oblivion! http://rpgmaker.net/games/7548/

New to the series? For all of you who are new to Castle Oblivion Series, I highly recommend you to check the "History of Castle Oblivion" section!

Story:
A scientist known as Evan has his own hobby of exploring places around the world. Rumor has been told that a treasure is hidden somewhere on a very rare island that is said to be hidden deep within a fog so thick that not even the eye of a deaf captain could see it. As the young scientist prepares to sail out in the sea in hope to find the hidden island, a greater evil awaits them that neither Evan or his companion are aware of. Will this treasure hunt turn out as it was expected, or will a drastic wave change the course of this adventure?

World:
The story takes place on the ancient island of Strombidge. This island isn't the normal paradise you'd travel to on your vacations, this is the island that's so well hidden that no one's ever found it. The story also takes action in a place beyond reality. Is it a dreamworld, or is it a paradise? Is it even real? You'll have to find out about that yourself!

Gameplay and Mood:
The gameplay takes place in 2 different worlds! On the mystic island, Strombidge and inside the floors of The Castle. The game is meant to be fun to play, exciting, emotional, scary and challenging. CO3 will deliver an epic mix of both reality AND imagination. So if you're the fan of games based on true reality or the fan of the games that are surprisingly imaginable, stay on, this game might do the trick for both of you.

Features:
- A mysterious castle filled with over 9 different worlds to explore!
- Exciting and climactic story with twists!
- Fun gameplay with a good mix of exploration, battles, puzzles, scenes and more!
- Well mapped areas with beautiful, creepy, mysterious and unique atmospheres.
- Minimap system that displays in your upper left corner which you can turn on/off at almost any point!
- Secrets! Hidden arrows, items, skills, bosses, rooms, side quests and all kinds of goodies! Gives the game a good replay value.
- A challenging difficulty. The game requires thinking, rather than repetitive
button mashing.
- Two endings! A good and a bad one.

Estimated game length: 30-40 hours.

Howdy! I'd like to dedicate this post to all of you who have decided to give CO3 a go. It's been really wonderful to hear from so many of you that you've enjoyed the game so much, even though it's my very first game. Seeing CO3 alive and active today is a great and motivating treat that keeps me going and exited to develop more and more games. Thanks for everything, guys.

Another thing that I would like to mention concerns the latest game I'm working on. It's called "Cold at Heart" and even though it may not look like CO3 and the CO1 Remake for that matter, it's still pretty similar. Like the Castle Oblivion games, Cold at Heart is at its very core a dungeon crawler.

The game is inspired by games like Super Metroid and Resident Evil and features fully custom graphics and a soundtrack (composed by myself). You can check out the game by clicking on the following logo:

Please note that the game is still in production. The demo available is currently in its Alpha stage, so any potential bugs, or errors are most likely going to be fixed for the full release.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to stay tuned for my upcoming projects!

Yeah it left a huge impression on me too! What did you think of the story? I thought the main plot, presentation and cutscenes it was brilliant. Everything between Vincent and Azen was nice too, all the way through untill the very end of the game. I also really liked Gilgamesh and Dilan and their development. Even the guy from that snow temple part of the game was a nice surprise. I think that was in CO1 anyway. But I also wished Kelarly did more to the story with the other party members.


I liked the whole concept of Castle Oblivion. My most loved character is Gilgamesh. I especially liked the relationship between Vincent and Azen. In the remake, Luiishu does explore and give more characterization for the other party members. I can disclose to you right now that there's very more story in the remake. Honestly, you should definitely play this remake as soon as you can, because I would like to hear your thoughts.

Did a lot of players rage quit back then?

I just read a lot of comments and watch lets plays for the game haha.


Yeah I feel similar to you with Castle Oblivion. I really liked the relationship between Vincent and Azen and how Kelarly handled that first, then Gilgamesh second. But what I liked most was the concept of the castle and how memories are stored in it. I thought Kelarly handled the whole concept well.

Yeah I'll try and play it eventually but I can't at the moment. I can say though Luiishu has strong talent when it comes to mapping and I can see the remake maps look great!

There were some good let's play of the game on youtube. And I know Kelarly made a video to help people get through the water cave dungeon, because a lot of people said they got stuck on it, but I didn't know anything else about lots of people quitting.
I'm in floor 1 and not getting very far. You start out all by yourself and you're extremely weak, the rats in the temple can all stun you (because that's their ability in the default database) and I came very close to dying to them several times. The worst part is the second boss. You need really good RNG to defeat him, if he goes berserk you will be stuck healing every turn. And that boss can also stun you. Sorry but when you're all by yourself and all the enemies have stun attacks, it gets annoying fast. I'm going to try the second boss one more time but if I get BS again, that's it.

EDIT: Beat the second boss, but surprise: third boss ALSO has stun attack. Just, why.
